Thank God for Golf Now

If I didn’t get a great rate from Golf Now I wouldn’t play this course. The course charges $ 120 which is not worth it. No practice range just a couple of nets. Putting green is not true to the course. Greens are inconsistent. I played with a member that is fed up with management and continually raising prices as if this was a great course . Staff is very friendly but also fed up with management. Like I said , the only way I’d play here is by getting a hot deal from Golf Now.

Delightful surroundings and very friendly

Coourse is in great shape. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we had a slow group ahead of us and it took 2 1/2 hours for 9 holes. A bit long.

Not worth $$

Basically and executive/starter course. Very short and tight into houses with tee boxes in lousy shape. Definitely not worth the $$ being charged. Rip off!

Tight layout

This course is squeezed in between lots of houses. If you hook or slice the ball, I can guarantee you were gonna end up in somebody’s backyard. There just as not a lot of Space to put a golf course in this place. The overall course was in good condition., But you have to be careful when you are teeing off sometimes as the prior hole green is right next to the tee box without a lot of protection.

Overpriced

This course was highly over priced , it would be better if as an executive course . Lots of short par 4 holes , to much garden, sculpture , decorations it felt very cheesy . If the price reflected the actual golf then it would be fine … 60 dollar course but charges double that.

Fun Course, Beautiful Views, Friendly Staff

The starter and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. The course was fun and plays pretty quickly - it took 3 hours 30 minutes to finish 18-holes and we are not great golfers. The course layout is a little confusing and a point had to cross an active fairway to get to the next hole (not sure if we missed a turnoff). The bar & grill and pro shop are all flamingo themed - everyone there seems to love golf, but not take it too seriously - which my group appreciated.

worth the visit

Only downfall was a few holes go back and forth and a little dangerous with other golfer’s shots and some near misses.
