Outstanding!!

Even though it was under construction @ The Clubhouse.. The Greens were so true but small.. Each putt was almost direct to the cup.. I shot better than expected as it was the 1st time there.. I played the Blue's & Shot a 69, card read 68.6... The yardages are not Accurate but if you know your iron yardage, you will be all over it.. This was my Favorite Course thus far in Florida, just surpassing Slammer & Squire @ World Golf Village!!!

Challenging, beautiful surroundings and wild life in a quality community.

It was a pleasure (minus a few lost balls as it was my first round this year) to play at a reasonable rate. I will recommend it to my fellow club members.

extra charge at course

Upon arriving at course we were told that even though we had prepaid we could not play without paying the course another $2.50 per player. We paid the $10.00 and had a great day. If this continues it 's something golf.com should be aware of and inform it's customers about.

Gotta Love it!

The deer, turkeys (avian) and gators were a great distraction for my Virginia and DC guests.
Always a good day of golf at this course despite the lost ammo.
Old school greens size make you tighten up on some of those approaches!
Great track! Great Value!

Beautiful Course, in great condition!

For the first time playing this course, ...lucky to have only lost 1 ball to hazards/OB. I can see where there are many opportunities to run into trouble. One has to think out N play a good shot in order to score well. Tons of wildlife to enjoy too.

Hidden Gem in Orlando

This course is beautiful. The houses surrounding it are beautiful and the course contains all kinds of wildlife and challenges. Greens were outstanding and layout is suitable for golfers of all calibres. Playing from the back tees is a tough round, but the middle tees can make for an enjoyable test as well. Practice facilities were great. Would definitely recommend and will certainly play again next time I'm in Orlando area. A bit of a drive, but worth it.

Great afternoon with the boys

Found this gem on golfnow.com and couldnt have been happier. Played on a beautiful Saturday afternoon without a cloud in the sky. Course was well managed and the greens in great shape. Landscaping was above average and we had the pleasure of sharing a couple of holes with about half a dozen deer, and even a gator here and there sun bathing along the water. A few challenging holes with a lot of water hazards and thick brush - be sure to hit em straight off the tee or plan on bringing an extra sleeve or two. Will play here again next visit to Orlando

BABYSITTING PLAYERS

We had a tee time for 4 players, all moderate players with handicaps of 20 thru 8. We are not members so, we were told a group of 3-somes would go out in front of us and then we could go after them. So, regardless of YOUR tee time, members will go in front of you. You must be a "good ole' boy". We were hassled on a number of holes by the course marshall because we were 2 holes, then 3 holes behind. We told him we were never going to play as fast as a bunch of 3-somes and were on course for a 4 hour round of golf. We finished the front nine in under 2 hours, yet he harassed us and stayed on us through 3 holes. We even asked if he was going to babysit us on each hole and he made a rude comment about looking ahead to see where he could put other groups we hold up. All our games went south because we were all under pressure to play faster. There were groups behind us playing NASCAR golf because every time we looked up, they were on the tee box or right behind us. They must have over-booked because we couldn't get a break. We were practically running to our shots. This completely spoiled our round of golf.

Very Wet Course

No assistance at bag drop, had to find our own cart and load our clubs and then find our way to 10th tee following temporary signs. Not good for openers.
Course very quiet and very wet and soft.

Great Value

Course was in good condition. Great value for the money. Only complaint is that without hole layouts on scorecard, difficult for first time players. Hit into water a few times because we didn't know it was there.

Challenging course, good value.

Fairways in great shape. T-boxes ok. Greens needed mowing and they were SLOW when we played. Many greens are quite small so some approach shots can be challenging. Bunkers in good shape. Plenty of water comes in to play. Lot's of wildlife abounds. So did some sort of biting gnats which we were able to hold at bay by applying sunscreen. The course provided OFF/Deet at the clubhouse but we didn't think we'd need it. we were wrong. Overall, challenging course but beautiful and fun to play.

Great course, amazing value

This is one of the best courses I've played in Northwest Orlando. Aside from the new home construction, the aesthetics were pleasing. The course was well maintained and the food at the turn definitely hit the spot. I'm definitely playing this one again in the very near future.
