Nice Course

Colony West had a nice layout and the conditions were ok given that we are still in winter. Unfortunately, the play was slow.

Dry Course

We enjoyed our round of golf but found the course to be very dry. Fairways and rough areas had patches of no grass making it hard to decide the type of club mostly due to the turf. Course had some challenging holes with dog legs and strategically placed water. Parking is not great but that will be a future challenge when the hotel opens up.

Greens are in excellent shape

Fairways dry and ground hard at times due to a lack of watering. Everyone friendly and courteous.

Bigger Glades

They let this course go, it used to be a decent course, fairways with long grass, greens with a lot of flaws. For the price is not worth it

Course and staff need a makeover

This course is in lousy condition from tee to green and outside the lines as well, curbs, cart paths etc. The layout itself is nice. The outside staff not helpful at all. Here’s a key, cart 49, and I’m lugging the clubs to put them on the cart and unloaded after the round and carried them to the car, no club cleaning. That’s not such a bad thing but when you check in they have a big tip box right in front of you saying tips are appreciated. This was our third round for the week and we tipped the starter in both places and the bagroom guys for cleaning down and sending clubs to bag drop. Tips need to be earned not coerced. New clubhouse is nice.

Would recommend

I really like the layout and challenge of Colony West Champion Course. There are a number of dried out and burnt areas of the fairways but overall it’s in pretty good shape.

Nice layout

I think the weather being very hot and humid is not helping the course. Put an extra person behind the bar would help. The wait is long when you order something when you are in a hurry. She has to enter everything in the computer. That is taking lots of time. But food was good

Decent course for the money

Far better courses in the area, but at under $70 for 18, not too bad. I found the greens hard and super fast. Fairways can be sparse with grass.
