Martin Downs Country Club - Osprey Creek Course

Mike the bag attendant was very rude and aggressive practically begging us for a tip and telling my friend that if he didn’t tip us he shouldn’t be golfing here. Never have I experienced such rudeness before at a golf course, Stanley the owner should have talk with him as he will not be getting our hard earned dollars again.

Extremely wide open fairways, quite a few sand bunkers, but a great course for the money and the staff members were all very friendly from the Pro Shop, to the starter to the bar and restaurant.

I played Martin Downs about 6 months ago not much has changed. Greens this time were very sandy, roll true but hard to judge the speed depending on how much sand was between you and the hole. I will play it again next time I am here I like the layout.

Good value ,pleasant staff , bartender Kristine was nice and beer was nice and cold

Which is a good thing. I have no issue with courses that are actively trying to improve their course conditions especially when those conditions are reflected in the greens fees. Full disclosure, I paid less than $30 through TeeTime, which was appropriate for conditions (sanded greens on some/many holes and a few fairway issues).

I liked the layout very much. It was refreshing to play a course with wide fairways where you can actually use your longer clubs (I think it is BS when courses hide behind "it's a shot making course").

Expect pace of play to be a slow as everywhere else although they did ha a ranger that informed me that it was moving albeit slowly. I was a single tho.

The course personnel are friendly and knowledgeable. Was able to head out earlier than the tee time. It was a clear WINDY day, making a few holes harder, but many tees to choose from. One downside was the fairways, a bit spongy, with dollar weed. The sand traps have hard packed sand and are fine from the fairway, but hard to get a clean shot near the green. Overall, decent old style Florida course.
