Very unorganized

No one seems to know what’s going on people waiting to be taken care of. There is a Bag drop. But you have Carrie, your clubs yourself to the carts

Had to play the Glades course

Had an 8:30 tee time for 2 booked and when we showed up, there was a shotgun tournament starting at the same time as our tee time. There were 60+ people waiting to tee off and they were going to start us on the 12th hole. I asked the cart guy if we could play the Glades instead of the Champ to bypass the group and he allowed us to Thank Goodness. Not the price nor course I signed up to play!

Needs some love

I could imagine this was once a really nice course but unfortunately it has not been maintained. As a result the tees were in bad shape, the fairways were bare in many places and the greens were only average. All said they don’t try to charge a premium rate, and a result we received what we paid for. Keep expectations in control and you’ll be happy with your round.

Not a good experience

It took just under 3 hrs to play nine holes. It was brutally slow and the only saving grace was that the course did provide a 50% credit on my greens fee. However, the credit can only be used toward pro shop merchandise.

The course was in pretty rough shape. Tee boxes had almost no grass and the fairways and greens are pretty crewed up.

To much play here and they don’t seem to care for the course conditions

Nice layout, poor condition

First off, no practice range. Holes poorly marked so make sure they pair you up with a local. Greens ok but most tee boxes are sand. Pace of play was good on the front but bogged down on the 12th. Staff was good and the grill had good food and prices

Horrible Course

Course was void of grass, which was a shame since layout had possibilities. But like hitting off of bare pavement all day.

Trying to get a ready made sandwich or even a hot dog at the turn meant waiting 10 or more minutes for it to be prepared. No way to call ahead and nothing ready to grab and go. To add insult to injury, when done, no one helped with clubs, the car lot was far away and the closest driveway to where clubs were was blocked off.

All in all an absolutely horrible golf experience, and must add I have played golf in 50 countries....and experienced it all.

Old lady stole my sons ball

Good place. Greens a little beat up but staff very friendly and nice.

We hit into the water and to our surprise before we had a chance to even get to it, some old lady used a ball grabber and in front of our foursome took our ball. We asked for it back but she kept it, claiming it was part of three balls that she just found. Couldn’t believe what we saw / heard! Unreal. We considering hitting into them but then decided to just let it go until this last rant.

Also we saw the players cart at least 6 times but never saw the cart gal more than twice (it was hot).

Be weary of the old ladies with their golf ball grabbers as I think they liken it to outdoor bingo!

Good golfing test

Played for the first time and enjoyed the different challenges around the course. All staff were very friendly. Stayed for some food afterwards and really enjoyed the meal sat on the outside terrace. Worthy of future visits!
