Great condition

Wonderful shape. Fairly difficult. Greens are fast with almost too much slope. I went back again and it was windy which made it very challenging.

Good layout not happiest staff

Very nice layout with some crazy greens but still very playable. Played with some great members. Threw the cart lad a couple bucks, nver said thank you. Tipped the half way hut girl a couple bucks for a beer, no smile or thank you. After the round a couple bucks for the kid cleaning my clubs, no thank you back. Only the beverage cart driver, Pam was friendly. Member admitted to me that not everyone seems happy there. Shame because will be nice when everything opens fully.

Terrible professionalism in the shop.

Booked a tee time online. Decided to play this newer course. Majority of the time my wife comes with me to golf just to ride around (she doesn’t play) but just likes seeing different courses.

We drive over an hour to the course. Get down there go to check in was told I’d have to pay a cart fee for my wife (which I am fine with) majority of courses charge this. But then proceed to tell me I am paired with 3 others and that either my wife or I would have to walk because they only allow 2 carts per group.

I was in complete shock that they wanted me to pay greens fees, and cart fee and my wife a cart fee for one of us to walk the entire time. I’ve played hundreds of golf courses and worked at 7 country clubs and been working in the golf industry for over 15 years and have never heard of such craziness. The two “shop guys” behind the counter clearly never worked in golf for a while and definitely not PGA members because when I told them that this was unheard of and never happened before and if I was working at a course and treated a member or guest like this I would have been fired on the spot. They both proceeded to laugh at me.

I called down the road to Legacy Golf Club and explained my situation and they accommodated us within a half hour. I walked back in and cancelled my time. And the one shop guy goes “in the future if you want your wife to come and not play you’d need to book her a full tee time as well”. So their solution was for next time for me to pay $100 just for my wife to ride along

I went to Legacy Golf club and talking with the assistant pro there he even said he has never heard of a club not accommodating that type of situation because it happens all the time. He proceeded to apologize for what that course did to me. Gave us only cart fee rates (no greens fees) and gave us 3 free drink tickets for the inconvenience that we experienced at a different club. That is the type of service I expect from golf clubs. You take care of the members and guests.

I would recommend that the two “shop guys” be fired because they are very unprofessional to be working in the golf business

Friendliness Poor

Wonderful course!

This was my 1st time playing here and we all enjoyed it. I understand that this is peak season and the rate reflects that price to play. The greens are very tricky but they absolutely putt true. Nice fairways and really only minor tee box issues on a couple of holes. I think part of the appeal is that the majority of the homes are not built yet which makes the course so much more appealing. Nature was in full force and that will be gone once the homes arrive. We saw gators out sunning and an eagle came out of a tree, grabbed a goose off the water and flew across the lake right in front of us! It was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed! The eagle landed about 20 yards in front of us with the goose! I will be back here often this summer when the summer rates hit.

So green, lush and fun

I've golfed here several times and written several reviews and this place never disappoints. I'm always greeted by people who want to take care of me from the time they take the clubs out of the car to the time they return them to the car it's a great experience every single time. I do not believe it is possible to have a better practice facility , a few drinks chipping sand putting you name it they have it and it's all beautiful. There are separate training pros for men and women and they are both very very good, I've used them! Greens are very active and challenging, they are also usually fast and are always smooth. The Fairways are wide and the grass is perfect from end to end. Just get here and golf it. I'm a 8 handicap and have golfed all over the USA and this is very high on my list!
