Good Not Great but Just Ok

I’ve been led to believe you can’t always trust the reviews on GN for better or worse. I’ve played courses with bad reviews and they turned out to be fantastic and vice versa.

Colony West has an amazing layout and that won’t change for as long as the course is what it is today. It will test your golf imagination and challenge you to select the right club and make the right choices through your round.

The downside of this course is the inconsistency of the course conditions and pace of play. I’ve played this course a handful of times during this season because it’s affordable and satisfies the fix us golfers need at times. The green conditions are acceptable but the pitch marks that don’t get repaired are destroying the only thing the course has going for them right now. Greens are healthy and roll true, the speed is not what other reviews are claiming. Only 1x this season that I’ve played have the greens really been running “fast”. The pace of play is horrendous. My tee time was 2:12 and finished at 6:45, which is unacceptable. Plan a 5 hour round when you play here, esp. on a weekend. I blame the lack of organization from the starter.

Nevertheless, pick your poison in south Florida, pay $100 plus for a course with mid conditions or play Colony west Champ course for no more than $60 with all things considered.

Good course for the money

Paid $70 and felt that was a very good deal for a nice course. Greens were great. Fairway grass was pretty thin. No driving range is a drawback. Would definitely play it again.

Great course

I played here many times and enjoy both the Glades and the Championship course. The Championship course is in great condition with wide fairways. The only disadvantage is the bag drop point. You cannot drive carts to your car and there was no one to help me with my bags after I played. The bag drop is a ways away from where you turn in the carts. Parking is a real problem due to the new hotel just built. Otherwise, it was an enjoyable day.

Good but not Great

Course layout is Very Good and tough. Greens were decent, probably better than most. Rest of course conditions need a lot of improvement. For $68 OK, but $125, no way. Would play again if price was right.
