Great value. The course

The course was in great condition except for a couple of greens which needed a little work. The group ahead of us were moving right along so we didn’t wait except a few times. Personal were very helpful and friendly. Will be back.

Slow Play

I always enjoy playing the course. But lately the pace of play has been extremely slow. Where is the Marshall. Five hours to play 18.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Course great BUT golfers had little etiquette

Staff tried to push group that left two holes open BUT they pushed back and even though we were at par threes tees twice they would not let our threesome hit on.

Communication

Tried to call pro shop from the course to see if anyone handed in a phone. Got an outside service (?) who forwarded me to the pro shop (twice) but no answer.

Really nice course.

The fairways were outstanding. The practice putting green was in need of a redo. The greens on the course not bad except for a couple which needed some work but the speed was quick but not too fast. Pace of play was good, about four hours for the round. Very friendly personal. The snack bar was nice as were the people working there. Will play again for sure.

Disappointed

First time to play this year. Always enjoyed the layout of this track.

Lady at the pro shop, young fellow giving out carts and starter very friendly and welcoming.

All parts of the course needed water and fertilizer. Not much grass or new growth. After seeing the great improvements at Manatee I had hoped the same thing would have happened here.

The numerous previous hole locations were very visible on every green. That speaks volumes. In very poor condition.

Bright side of the day were our playing partners Gus and Dan from Pittsburgh. Great guys and made it lots of fun.

Sad to say I won’t return this year but hope things improve. I would love to go back again when they do because I really enjoy the track.
