Great & Challenging Coarse
Great & Challenging Coarse. Overall great experience and will play again if the opportunity. Great & very challenging green. Very challenging to hit and position oneself for easy putts.
Very enjoyable round of golf
Arrival was confusing as there was no attendant at bag drop area. No Carts were available for my group. Had to carry bag down to cart area. Staff was very busy trying to turn over carts as they came in and apologized for delays. Practice areas were well stocked with balls. Starter interaction during warmup was positive. Course was in excellent condition. Unfortunately, also had to carry my bag up hill after finishing round.
True Test of a Nicklaus design
My brother and I played 18 holes with no one behind us and had a great time. Great course and challenging with all the hidden greens. Bring your A game folks.
Excellent Course
A beautiful and well maintained course. Friendly staff with excellent knowledge and advise. I can hardly wait to play it again.
Overall Good Experience
I went out as a single after they overbooked but staff was kind and clubhouse and amenities met expectations for a Nicklaus. I had read that it was unforgiving but I found it very playable. Greens may have been somewhat small but unless you are hitting long irons in they were soft and stuck. Rolled fair. Some nice catch paths that roll through highly wooded areas and course was generally flat. Staff was very nice and the bartender was overly accommodating. 8/10. Only negative is some bunkers have turned into waste areas and the fairways could be in better shape on some holes. I didn’t find the course overly challenging like some mentioned though. I’m a 3 HCP and shot 71
Great day of golf!
Worth the drive from anywhere.
Tough course in great condition.
I'll be back!
Nicklaus is class but you pay for it....
Love the course and the greens are fabulous!!!! Great target course. The staff were awesome and made a really really HOT ...enjoyable...
First Time
Booked using golfnow hot deals and $40 of rewards so the round only cost $50. Tee time was 1 pm Thursday. Arrived early and got out right away. Course was in great shape. Greens are SMALL AND FAST! Have played the Watson course and is of equal track. Looking forward to playing Palmer in the future
Course and greens in great shape
Course was in great condition. Greens were aerated about 3 weeks before I played and they were fully healed.
Great golf course
If you are in the area go and play this golf course you will love it
Great Course, but Not the Best Course Conditions
I played the course two weeks ago and enjoyed the round (despite the slow play as we were following a college tournament) that I wanted to come back. Enjoyed the course even more the second time as the slow play was not as much of a problem. My only complaint is that some of the fairways are not in as good a condition as I would expect for a private course like this one. Also, there is no such thing as rough. Other than that, a very interesting course to play. Will definitely come back.
Drive it well
Fair off the tee, undulating fairways. Smaller, but fair greens. Greenside bunkers might be the best place to miss the greens.
Great Course, but Not the Best Course Conditions
I know some people don't like Nicklaus courses, but I really enjoyed the layout - the variety of holes and the elevation changes, which are not that common in central Florida.
To be fair, the pace of play issue was distorted by the fact that we were immediately following a college golf tournament, so the competitors had to be strictly adhering to the rules of golf and also putting everything out.
The greens were playing fast because of the college tournament, but my rating of the course conditions was more directed to the fact that the grass was spotty in places and there were more than one green with weeds.
The rating on the off-course amenities was based on the length of time it took to get refreshments after 9 holes and the fact that the Pro Shop was closed by the time we finished our round (only 6:30 pm).
Having said all the above, I am going back for another round in the next few days.
Expected better.
Ok here’s my issue. This is my understanding, paying customers were given tee times in the middle of a college tournament. When these young men finish a hole they start to practice by chipping and putting on the hole regardless if you’re waiting. I was behind another couple so I just thought pace was slow. They quit after 6 holes and on the seventh hole I realized why they left. I waited so long on 8th tee box I just gave up and skipped hole. Talked to starter and was told as a single I should expect to play fast and I was on pace. I told him he didn’t understand the issue and went to 10. But the 12th hole starter came out and apologized and asked if I wanted to go back and play first 9, which I did, so I never experienced the whole course.
The course is in good shape but for MY GAME it had way to many fairway sand traps and green side bunkers. The layout for me personally made for a long day.
