awesome experience

Although my game is not where it should be, the course and experience playing Misty was over the top great. I would go back, great value, scenery, wooded, greens in top shape, hot dog and beer great. This course is in my top 10, including well known venues (Torrey Pines, Spanish Bay, Trump in Paloes Verde, Harbourtown, Doral etc)

Old Florida Feel

I really enjoy playing at Misty Creek as it has an Old Florida feel to it! No houses by the course as it winds thru a preserve with lots of trees with moss and deer and other wildlife and spread out.

I Love Misty Creek

Tough course but plays well for shot makers like me, or bombers like my buddies. Always see tons of wildlife (it's a nature preserve). An 'old Florida' course at it's best.

Greens in great shape!

You can see by my picture the hazards can be exceptionally tough! Hole #1

Amazing Wildlife

Course was swampy, thin grass in fairways and sanded greens, but the layout is fun. No houses in play, lots of wildlife and extremely friendly staff. Priced fairly on Golfnow.

Slow greens, crabgrass fairways and poor drainage.

Staff was nice, but other than that, not worth $50 to play there.

Lost a ball on #9 fairway. Cleared the lake, but landed in a deep puddle next to it.

What a pleasure

Course is in great shape. Go check it out for yourself. Personally would of liked to see the greens run a little faster but I am probably in the minority on that.

Nice layout but a little pricey

Super friendly staff, nice greens, otherwise average conditions. Some tricky and interesting holes. Overall a fun place to play but a bit pricey.
