In bad shape

This is a good course normally but the greens are in awful shape and the fairways are the same. If you don’t get a deal to play it on golf now don’t bother it’s not worth $60 for the round.

Not Terrible

Some of the greens are trash, but overall for $30 it’s worth it. Some of the holes are pretty fun. Watch for alligators

Fun layout

The course just keeps going down. Most of the greens have issues. Fairways are 50/50 you will have grass to hit off of. It’s a fun layout.

Quick Round

Played as a single and completed the round in under 2.5 hours. Greens recently airated, but for the most par rolled OK but very slow. Barely beat an incoming storm.

Poor conditions.

Greens are in very poor condition. Fairway yardage only marked at the 150. First cut of rough so deep you would lose your ball. Do like the layout.

Seems they have made some improvements since the last time I was there but still needs some loving. It's priced right. Hopefully they continue to trend in the right direction.

The course has some interesting and challenging holes which would be really fun to play if the course conditions were good. Fairways and greens were in terrible shape.

if only the course was as good as the food

The girl area was nice with really good food.

The course itself is in terrible condition. The fairways are playable, but many areas are chopped up. The greens are in horrendous condition. Most of them have large sand deposits because the grass is not growing. The greens also look as if they have been scarred by a mower and most areas. the cell look like a patchwork quilt and not a nice one with different layers of grass. It’s almost impossible to find a straight line putting to the hole. The key markers are broken and some of them aren’t even present. There are no pictures describing the shape of the hole, which would help a first time player there. all in all I would never play this course again! I was told that the greens had a virus or pestilence of some sort… Maybe that should be noted when making a reservation.
