Much better than glades but over priced course for condition

Now that I have played both courses. Championship has much better greens than glades. glades has "bunkers" on greens smh. But for 75$ fairways roughs were pretty spotty across all holes. The greens overall were very good but for price much better courses in area to play. The shop and restaurant are nice.

Getting jumped

While No. 8 tee box for the green to clear because of slow play in front of , 2 guys come flying around us and mouthed something we couldn’t understand. The next thing we knew 4 guys come up to us from behind us and accused us of jumping in front of them , calling us names and threatening to call the clubhouse . We stood are ground , but was very close to a throw down on the tee box.

Need to invest in some sprinklers

This course is in terrible shape! Bare spots with no grass all over the fairways and tee boxes. Greens are ok but around the greens also have very little grass. They need to invest in. Some sprinklers to water the course so the grass doesn’t all die!!

Worth the money

This is my second round on this course other then slow play found the course challenging,fairways and greens in good condition, tee boxes poor, bunkers have nice white sand and they have sand. Good value for price . I will play again to see if pace speeds up during the off season. Course played by another of local seniors. Not that I'm not one of them. So in conclusion rough is short easy to find your ball this should speed up play . I WILL SEE.

Enjoyable round in the sunshine

Interesting course with lot of water, fast greens and some testing holes. As an 18 handicapper thought it was a good test. Suspect too hard for beginner.

Terrible first impressions

Don’t waste your hard earned money and valuable time playing here. There is no driving range, and it does not say that anywhere on the website. When we arrived at the course we were told we could not check in until 20 mins before our tee time - this slows the pace of everything down. As we were early for our tee time , and couldn’t warm up , we hung around with everyone else at the putting green - which is where the starter is. I’ve played golf , like so many in various places in Canada and USA , I have never experienced a starter with such a horrible attitude. He was belligerent, ignorant and just down right rude - as the first point of contact to the experience at the Colony , he downright failed the test to make me want to come back. It left such a bad taste for me that I am writing this review - so DO NOT play this course , there are so many welcoming courses who are happy to have you play. Oh and PS - he actually had a tip jar out !

Nice challenge

It’s a good layout, plays long from the tips or one forward. Fairways are a little pocky but tee boxes and greens are well manicured for a course that only charges what it charges. Clubhouse food and staff is very enjoyable.
