Tight layout requires lots of golf balls

TheSabal Palms executive course places a premium on accuracy. With waterin play on every hole, wayward shots will definitely be in the water or out of bounds. The course is definitely very narrow with no bailout areas and small teeing areas. The greens were also quite small, so the scores will not be very low. Would not recommend this course for beginners.

Don’t be late!

We were running a little late for our tee time which I understand is not good. We received a phone call from the pro shop looking for us, we explained we were a few miles out. We were given a time limit , as if we weren’t there in 10 min we would not be allowed to tee off. We made it there by our time limit to see that the parking lot was empty. This time of year in Florida, is real slow. I could understand if it was the busy time of year I wouldn’t expect to tee off if we were late but with no one on the course except another pair of golfers. The course was so slow they were watering the greens in the middle of the day, and couldn’t finish a hole because of it. We will really have to consider if we want to go back, as they are not friendly to Giolf Now customers.

Challenging Par 3/4 course

Course is in a good shape. Greens are Slow but good.

Enjoyed Planung here.

If you are Not a straight hitter, take enough balls with you as water comes in place on almost all holes

Tight course, good value

Greens were a bit slow but consitent. A very tight course. Some weeds make for rough condtions when hchipping from about a yard from the fringe. Ovearll good condtions. Tee boxes shoukd be be more level.

Bring lots of balls

We've played this course about 5 times so far this year and I keep on getting worse. You have to hit straight if you want to play here. Lots of water and houses to hit. Good deal on Golf Now for $12 net $16 and change after fees. We try to go on Monday's for the Hamburger Special at the club house.

Unfriendly

The employee who answered the phone made it blatantly obvious that they do not appreciate golf now users. Once we arrived there was no doubt who we had talked to because as soon as we advised him who we were he went into jerk mode. Course was ok for the money and if wasn’t for the clerk we would play it again but there is no way I’ll give them another cent of my money.

Is it unreasonable to tee off early when possible?

Have golfed at Sabal Springs many times, and use Golf Now quite frequently. This is the only course that insists you tee off exactly at the paid for tee time, when there are vacant slots for the 30 minutes ahead of the booked time. Not buying the irrational excuse given for such.

This poliicy does not encourage bookings at a course where bookings are needed for cash flow.

A tight executive course, okay conditions. Staff on the desk are appropritely friendly. Small putting grren availbke and a comfotable, cosy bar to enjoy a beverage afterwards.

Avoid - not family friendly

Thanks to Golf Now not telling you in advance, the place does not allow families. Pro Shop guy was nice but wouldn't let us play...So a dad can't take his 10 or 12 year old on a nice day to play golf? Even if your kid is better than most people that probably play that community course? Gimme a break. Not convenient to anything either, avoid!

Water. water everywhere

The course is in excellent condition, greens and fairways. Almost every hole has water present,either laterally or forced carry. Pick a tee you are comfortable with and good luck keeping your ball out of the water!

Don’t seem to like GolfNow golfers

This is my second time playing this course and similarly to the first time, I was thrown off by the pro shop staff. Got there a little early and checked in. The course was empty and the pair that my partner and I were paired with hadn’t arrived yet. We figured since it was slow we would go ahead. The pro staff employee ran out to stop us saying we had to wait. Ended up getting started about 10 min after our scheduled tee time when the other pair had arrived. Played a slow foursome and didn’t see another group all round.

Great for This Time of Year

We play this course once or twice a year. We always enjoy it. Today was especially nice as it was totally uncrowded (in the afternoon) and the course was in excellent condition. We highly recommend it.
