Very Nice

Haven't played here in a couple years.....course was in best shape I ever remembered. Everything was very lush, green & grown in well. Unlike most courses around here, the overseeded winter rye was still plush. Greens could have been a bit quicker for my preference, but rolled nice & true. Only in 2 bunkers all day, but both had nice fluffy, raked sand. Overall, a really enjoyable round. Would definitely play again if wasn't leaving in a week. Nice track, great shape.

Beautiful Course

From the arrival in the parking lot until our departure we were treated like royalty. Our clubs were taken and brought from the parking lot to the starter area. We enjoyed a leisurely lunch and were given a detailed overview of the course by the starter. The layout was very nice with generous driving areas and lots of water. The greens were magnificent and as good as any I have ever seen in Florida! . Everyone was friendly and very welcoming so we will definitely recommend to others and return if we are back in the area!

First time here!

My wife and I chanced playing at a course we were not familiar with. Great idea to play here! Tees, fairways, greens were in great condition. Layout is fun and interesting with enough water hazards to keep you honest but not ruin the day! We will definitely play here again!

April 9

We usually play Calusa Lakes every year at this time. In the past the course conditions have been fair to good. But this year the course was in great shape. The tees, fairways and greens were all in wonderful condition. We hope to play there again before we head back nous.

Best Greens in the area

A little rough around the edges but you see that they are working on it.

No marshall so it can be slow at times.

Best Greens around here usually running around 11 on the stimp.
