Good value

The snow birds here gone home so management is no longer gouging the rest of us. This is not a $95 golf course but it is great at $30.

Looking good...

... despite the lack of rain. The course plays well, but some lessons in etiquette should be taught. Not playing two balls, fixing ball marks on the greens, picking up broken tees, etc. I would like to see the ball washers maintained. The ones that did have any water were nasty. Maybe drain/refill once a week... with soap too?

Course needs a lot of work.

Course needs a lot of work. Things out of order, under construction, over grown, etc.

Lady at desk was very unfriendly and not personable at all.

No drink cart making rounds at all, yet your own drinks, coolers, etc. forbidden.

Discounted rate online $30, due to course conditions, had reservations for 3, added 1 additional golfer at check in (had to pay for foursome either way because they want 2 per cart) charged me $60 just for the fourth golfer. Lady told me that’s the difference between online and paying there and yells next! This course is a very very long way from being worth $60 a head.

Chaotic slow start

Arrived on time but it was Saturday morning after the course had been closed so start was chaotic. A group who were 30 minutes late were still allowed their slot in line so rest of us were pushed back further. Greens treated but playable. Would play again but not on the weekend

Course in great conditions

Played this course back in 2016 primarily to see Chubbs the Gator. Didn't see him then or this time. Course seems to have gotten better. Seemed a little rough around the edges in 2016 but smoothed out since. The greens are smooth and true. Was well worth the 1.5 hour drive.

Typical County Course

Greens are narrow and very slow. Fairways are wide and in decent shape. Not many water hazards as most ponds have dried up.

Interesting course

Nice open fairways. Tough roughs.
Most water holes are dry. Nice greens but most are small.
