Alaqua Country Club

The course is under construction so number 10 and 18 are altered. You have no hole diagram to tell you the layout of the hole and no yardage books to give you any idea how far you can hit before you're wet or off the fairway.

The cart girl was very friendly and came around fairly often.

The inside and outside staff were great and very helpful.

This course needs to add a few things and it will move up in my rating. It's a hard course but it's not fair because of all the blind shots and approaches.

There was a lot of wildlife, deer, turkey, bird, etc.

Even with the construction work going on, course is in great shape. I do like how 18 will somewhat resemble the 18th prior to the construction. Course will punish players for being off the fairway in certain instances. Must know your distance. Greens rolled very well, and the new boxes were very nice.

There is always wildlife on this course. Makes for an enjoyable round. The course was in really good condition. There were a couple greens that need a little help and two holes have been shortened due to constuction. But well worth the price.

This is without question one of the best opportunties to play golf in Central Florida. It is a private course in an ultra private community rolling through palacial multi-million dollar mansions, verdant landscapes and unbridled wildlife - the deer, wild turkeys, osprey, bears, eagles, hawks and myriad other animal wildlife are in congress with the players and inhabitants of this community. Great challenging course - - I play from the penultimate tees, just under 7000 yards - - with manicured fairways, lush but equitable rough, cavernous bunkers and a hilly terrain. The staff's professionalism and etiquette is commensurate with that of a private course. The gas carts are a tad antediluvian for a course of this caliber, but the rest of the experience more than makes up for the older carts. A must play if you can.

good condition overall would recommend to others..

The course is in great shape,they have plenty of drinking water through out the course.

This course has been private for years and is now opened the doors to the public, and you need to run and play here. Still maintained as though it's private. You have to place the ball here though - surely not a typical Central Florida resort course.

Course seemed extremely wet, despite the recent lack of rain. The majority of greens and fairways were in decent shape but, due to some construction, some were in rough shape. More deer than golfers and a bunch of wild turkeys on the course. Stay in the fairway to avoid losing a bunch of balls. Overall, it was a good experience and we will go back.

construction going on for new homes. but great course

We had a great day of golf on a challenging course.

Are you kidding me. It was a priviledge to get to play this course for the amount I paid on the deal in Golf.Now. The carts and the staff and the course is great. The added bonus is being able to see the deer in a natural habitat.

Course is very good, challenging holes but fair for the higher handicapper too. Lots of wildlife to be seen around. Construction work means 10 and 18 have been significantly shortened though. Clubs hired weren't fantastic while the tees and bunkers need a little bit of attention too but overall an enjoyable round of golf.

This is a beautiful course which wends its way through a gated community with some stunning properties to admire. Water features quite heavily, making many of the holes visually appealing as well as challenging at times. Course overall was well maintained, greens in good condition, but building work means that the 18th hole has been dramatically reduced and a temporary green put in, which was a rather sad end to an otherwise great round. Also a shame that such a peaceful course has noisy and sluggish petrol golf carts. Also remember to ask for the code for the toilet block, as we didn't know it so couldn't use the on-course toilets.
Will definitely play again, great value for money.

Some renovations taking place but still a good course.

Great layout and well maintained. You will see many deer and may even see the bear we saw yesterday. Got to go 400 lbs and is a black bear. Almost walked up to us. Some of the deer you can get within 30 feet. As for the golf, if you can remember to play it's enjoyable.

CONDITIONS VARIED FROM HOLE TO HOLE. ALL THE RAIN
TOOK ITS TOLL ON SEVERAL GREENS,&7/29/2013 LEFT SOME AREAS OF ROUGH & FAIRWAYS UNPLAYABLE. STILL A VERY PLEASANT EXPIERENCE & WILL STILL DRIVE THE 90 MILES TO PLAY AGAIN. BY THE WAY, MAKE SURE TO TAKE YOUR CAMERA.

They are doing some construction on a couple of holes but other than that the course is in great shape. There's a lot of water in play so when you come make sure you bring an extra half dozen of golf balls!

Course in very good condition especially considering all the rain. Deer everywhere, several holes there were 10+ on the tee boxes. Played in less than 3.5 hours.

Costi, Austin, and Zach - Way cool. Never been treated better.
Course should have been under water but was still very playable, and the minimum of 5 deer on each hole were only a visual distraction. Never made a peep while I was hitting. "I'll be back" Thanks guys !

Challenging, but fair. Undergoing some construction now at the
beginning and the end of the back nine, a temporary inconvenience.A truly enjoyable experience.
