Crane Watch Club

It was cold and misty, but still a good golf experience

With high prices, poor condoning and slow pace of play being the norm this time of year, Crane Watch is a refreshing change. Greens were excellent and Renee the started/ranger keeps you moving. I really enjoy this course and it I was only comparing it to public courses in the same price range, I would rate it 5 stars.

Enjoy playing here. The layout is great.. can challenge depending on which tee you use. It is a value. The staff is always friendly. Will definitely play here again.

I do not so the 5 hour rounds anymore especially not in Florida. Staff very nice but will not be back.

Hadn’t played here in a while, but a pretty dramatic improvement in all aspects of the course. Excellent putting and chipping areas also ( putting area small though).

Very busy on day I played and therefore was backed up ( no carts available for a while and tee time delayed 25-30 minutes. No starter either.

These were minor irritants, though, on a pretty good golf day on a course coming back into form.

I played as a single and got paired up with another single and a pair. All the guys were super cool. Pace of play was great on the front 9 but we got backed up on #12, a tough Par 4 and from there on out it was a bit slow. We finished in about 4 1/2 hours which isn't horrible for a beautiful Saturday in January. The greens were in excellent shape and the course was really fun. I will be back for sure!

When in the area we always play here. The layout is challenging and the course is in good condition. The staff are friendly.

Great layout. I enjoy this course because it has a lot of fun holes and is wide open on most holes. Greens were fair. Pace was a little on the slow side but I’ve played rounds here as a twosome in under 3 hours. Staff is friendly. There are always open tee times available. Getting to the tee on time is a breeze. Overall great value for the cost.

We enjoy playing this course. We got paired with a great couple and made the round very enjoyable. Course was in acceptable condition. Play got tied up on the back nine.

brought a buddy who came down from Orlando because I'd played it a few times prior, but the greens conditions were terrible and rolled at a 6-7 at best. They weren't cut or rolled IMO.

Course has a lot of potential because it's a great layout, but they need to put work into it and they could definitely contend as a top public course.

Where to start with this place...?...

I took an over-nighter to consider writing a review for Crane Watch & simply couldn't let it go. Every negative box was checked yesterday in regard to a golf course's management, conditions, pace of play, price to value etc...

The day began backed up (no starter), pace of play would have been over five hours (had we not left on the 17th tee box after experiencing a pulseless pace of play, waiting 10 plus minutes between shot opportunities & being hit into twice). The course was in mediocre condition at best, some tee boxes look more like uneven bunkers, bunkers hard packed, greens with crab grass and slow like shag carpet. The bathrooms on the course looked like they have never been cleaned.

Price...was charged full price for my 11-year-old son ($63), which I could not dispute or leave due to their non lenient cancelation policy...see other reviews in regard to that (So in total paid $156.00). Had I known in advance how horrid the conditions & experience was going to be...I would have never played here & can guarantee I will never again. The price to value ratio is way off on this facility. Trust the negative reviews folks! Take to your money & business elsewhere.
