Twin Isles Country Club

With the exception of the greens the course was very dry and green grass was minimal,l

We play here often. Nice layout, great greens, and friendly staff. Unfortunately, some other golfers have been rude on several occasions.

Our group plays as a scramble: we hit the best ball, and once the ball is holed, even if by the first player to putt,:we move on to the next hole. It's fun to shoot a lower score as a group, and less strokes takes less time to play 18.

On this last round, we were waiting on the first tee behind a single in the fairway, who was waiting on a 4some ahead of him on the green. After a few holes, the single invited us to join him since we were waiting with him on each hole. Combining 2 groups into one reduced the wait for groups behind us. Despite having 5 players (playing only 2 balls between us), we waited on the the 4some ahead of us at tee boc or in the fairway to hit on every hole.

As we were about to hit our approach shots into 18, an older player in a cart drove up and started complaining to us about us playing slow. That added insult to injury, since we weren't happy about the pace of play either.

Another round, while about to take our first putt, we heard a player in the group say loudly, "I can't believe those guys are wasting time to putt gimmies". We had a 15' putt from the fringe.

Yet another round, it took us 2 shots to get out of a bunker--not 3 or 4...two. And someone frim the group behind drove up to complain.

We are very aware and considerate about pace of play.. And if there isca faster group behind us and we aren't waiting on the group ahead of us, we invite the group to play through.

No one likes to wait, and everyone wants to get 18 in before dark. The course doesn't have a ranger. Usually, pace of play is not a major issue here. But if there is an issue, I wish fellow golfers would approach each othet politely with the correct facts instead berating other golfers who are doing nothing wrong. Or call the Pro shop and ask them to send a staff member out to the course to resolve the situation. But being rude with misinformation ruins the round for everyone.

The course was is excellent condition. We were teamed up with a couple member that couldn't be more friendly. They gave us tips on each hole and we had a great time. We'll be back.

I hadn’t played Twin Isles for a few years, but was meeting friends in Punta Gorda and wanted to get in a round. The staff is pretty congenial, really no complaints, but nothing extraordinary.

The course however was definitely not worth what they are charging for season green fees. Tee boxes were fairly rough, fairways were dry and not in the best of shape either. The greens were in decent shape.

We were playing as a twosome, and were stuck behind a foursome that thought they were tour quality players. The foursome was playing so slow, there were at least 3 open holes in front of them, no Marshall to encourage them to pick up the pace. We couldn’t play through, because they were all playing from the forward tees, which were a good distance from the whites and blues,

I have played there a few times in the summer when the rates are affordable, and the course was in much better condition. When paying over $100 for a round of golf, I expect the course to at least be in good shape, maybe even have GPS on the carts. Honestly, it’s a $45-50 course in season, and a $25-30 course on summer rates.

Greens were the surprise. For the most part they were in great shape and rolled very nice. Course layout was decent except for one goofy hole. Pretty forgiving layout. However, the non-green conditions of the course were below average and the facilities were not great. Very limited selections, front nine never saw drink cart, no water on the course (to drink or wash balls).. seemed very value driven. Staff were great though! Very nice.

Pace of play on the front nine was 2,5 hrs, back nine was much better.

Unless you get a hot deal for $50 or less the

Course isn’t worth the money. Front nine is always worse condition than the back nine. Very little grass in front nine fairways. All around the bunkers are poor. The saving grace to this course is the greens are decent, with reasonable speed and the ball rolls well. Course layout is average. Many of the tees are beat up. BUT back nine condition is much better than the first nine.
