Fun course

We had a fun time playing this course. Only real negative was the condition of the greens. They need some work.

Also the tee boxes. Several didn’t have any grass. Could be a much better track if they fixed these problems.

Enjoyed playing here

My husband and I enjoy playing this course when in the Port St Lucie area. The problem is always with pace of play and tee times. There was a 30 minute delay from our scheduled tee time and the pace was slow (at times there was foursome in middle of fairway waiting... foursome teeing off and 2 groups waiting!). We do enjoy the layout and the conditions were super! The price is very reasonable. If you don't mind waiting on most of your shots I recommend this course.

Awful Condition

Course seems to be getting worse by the week. See some of the images attached. Way overpriced for the poor condition. Every hole, every green has an issue.

No clue why the condition is so bad when every other course around is in great shape. Shame because it is a good layout. I would value a fair round at $39 based on the condition. At the current rate, there are great course that you can play for a few dollars more.

Nice place to play

My husband and I enjoyed playing this course. We have reserved another tee time. The conditions were ok.. some rough areas around the tees and greens. The layout is nice. The staff were all super friendly. I thought it was a great value for the money,

Below Average Course Conditions

Parking lot was too small to accommodate all the golfers. Ended up parking off the road under a palm tree as no one was there to direct the parking. Half of the greens were in average shape and the other half were in poor shape.

Several of the holes in the back 9 had been moved and none of the 3 GPS devices our foursome had could compute the correct distance. Some of the bunkers in the back 9 were like small ponds and were unplayable. The was only 1 or 2 ball washers on the course and none on the golf carts which made it very difficult to keep your clubs clean as you .

To utilize either of the 2 bathrooms on the course yo are supposed to utilize the gold key which is supposed to be kept on the ring with the golf cart. Unfortunately nobody checked this before we were assigned or cart.

Not worth it

18 holes took almost 5 hours and the course was really boring and not worth it. Greens were in decent shape but tee boxes mostly sucked and we couldn’t get over the pace of play being the worst I think I’ve seen.

Good price, pace was good, good layout.

Good price in the afternoon, course layout is good aside from a few doglegs. Greens were decent not fast not slow but had some fungus and patches of dirt. Pace of play was good although it was pretty dead the day we played. Overall good value for your money.

Rough shape

The practice green was my first clue the course would not be well taken care of - a lot of bare spots. Weeds everywhere on the fairways. If you're looking for a well manicured course - skip this one. But their chicken salad sandwhich was delicious!

Good experience

My first time playing this course was enjoyable. Pace of play was excellent and overall condition was good. Front nine is more wide open. Back has some narrower holes and elevation changes.

Only complaint is score card and marker signs for 17th hole are wrong. It was changed from a par 5 to a 4.

Work in Progess

Former member when it was private. You can see that the ownership is really trying to bring the course back to life after a period of when it was down. They are playing it smart with their rates while they continue the work. Much better than other courses in the area. Looking forward to playing again. Great staff. Friendly. Bar/restaurant is solid for after round food and beverages.
