Short but fun

Spessard Holland is a short course (par 67) with just one par 5, but there are plenty of sand traps and water hazards to keep it interesting. It is between the Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean, with several holes on the river. Although the parking lot was full, we were neither held-up nor pushed. Overall an enjoyable round on a bright, sunny warm day!

Great value

This course is well-maintained and is a great value for the price paid. This executive coure has just the right level of challenge for the beginner. More water than I prefer, but hey, this is Florida. Staff could bit a bit more friendly---starter was cordial, but the clubhouse staff is afraid to smile.

Very nicely taken care of

I was surprised to find out this was an executive course, however this did not take a way from the experience. The course was in great shape and the pace of play was good on the front and slowed down a bit on the back. I think this is partly due to some of the older folks getting tired. It is located right between the ocean and the inter coastal water way and a lot of retired people. ;o)

Challenging course

It's just a par 67 but it is tree and water lined. You need to place your tee shots.

Very good course

Greens recently seeded and were fast. Well maintained.
Varied layout ( some open - some narrow ) creates a challenge for all but low handicapped players.
Excellent putting, chipping, and sand trap practice area.
Located across from the ocean and bordering the river usually allows cool winds to help on hot days.

This course is a very nice course in good shape for this time of year.

This course is in good shape for this time of year greens a little slow because of over seeding.

Beach Atmosphere

The course is very nice. The atmosphere is a beach setting, if fact there is a free beach park right across the road from the course walking distance for the non-golfers in your group if you are vacationing. The course itself is well maintained and the 19th hole has a nice grill and friendly staff. I live in the area and this is my second favorite course. My favorite being The Habitat, also featured by GolfNow. The course is well laid out with the with some sand and water to make it a little more challenging.
