The value is great but they really need to mow the supposed fairways.The grass is the same density as on the tee box so it is very difficult to make good contact with the ball even after a goo drive The greens are also a little rough.Tge course itself though is a good layout and fun to play.

Decent Conditions, Horribly Slow Pace of Play

Booked an early afternoon weekend tee time expecting that the round would be slow, but bearable. Showed up to be greeted and taken care by an excellent staff, including Bruce (inside/registers), Anthony & Dave (carts/ bag drop) & Dennis (starter). Could see by watching the slow play of the groups in front of us that this would not be a fast round. Front nine took just under 3 hours. It took another hour from when we reached the tenth tee to finish hole eleven. Picked up after eleven and left as it was obvious that we would not be finishing before dark and the last seven holes would be taking us away from the club house/parking area. Too bad as the course is in good shape.

It’s great for what it is

Greens need work and have needed it for some time, it appears they are more than aware and have actively tried to continue to improve this course, the layouts awesome great for higher handicaps like myself, I sliced a ball and watched someone pick it up tho (I don’t like drama I just dropped nearby) water is in play on holes gators galore and I love that, it’s a decent course and one I’d consider my home spot for how close I am, if you can get it for $55 or under or $35 on off season it’s worth the play throughs I think it will continue to improve they seem to be trying their best which I sincerely appreciate, rounds have been a bit long but that comes with the season on any course in the general area Sarasota up to here so be in mind sometimes in these colder times of the year the rounds may run longer no matter where you play hate seeing the reviews of saying 5hr round as if unless your paying $100 to play somewhere your gonna see it,,be patient take in the nature which with the birds and gators here you definitely have it!

Fun track surprising greens

Enjoyable day with good pace of play. Water coolers had been removed but overall the day wasn't hot.

Greens medium but rolled true and held approach shots.

Well worth the golfnow rate and a little more.

Slowwww play

We played at 1 pm. We were told the pace of play was 1.5 hours on the front.From the 2nd hole onwards there were 3 groups on the hole ahead of us - which continued. At the turn, a new foursome appeared. So the 10 th hole had 4 groups on it. We left after the 11th hole. It was going to be over a 5 hr round.
