Great value

Great value for the money. I would come back for sure. Bathrooms and water still under construction.

Course in great shape. Greens were perfect. Layout a little funky with some short par 4s. But overall great course.

The National

Surroundings a lot different from the last time I played here. Major building going on. But it doesn't affect playing the course. Good layout and conditions. Worth the ride to get there.

Best Greens around!

I’ve been in FL for the month of Feb… played a dozen courses paying $200 to $360… and the National had the best greens I played… and only paid $109. Always my favorite course IF you can get a tee time. It’s a must play.

If I could give 6-stars for value I would. Best value in all of SWFL when taking everything into consideration….staff, course, and location for the price.

I love the course. Price is still reasonable but it’s a little out the way. I’m hoping I will be able to play next year but I think it’s going to be private..

It’s hard to find anything wrong with this course.

Do yourself a favor and come play this course before it goes private. The best greens I’ve ever putt on.

Nice track. Lotta water. Don't walk

Well maintained. Each hole is its own world, winding around cookie-cutter houses in various stages of construction. Some lengthy distances between holes.

National-Ave Maria

I like the course, however, LIKE ALL COURSES IN NAPLES, THEY CHURN THE HECK OUT OF GOLFERS DURING "SEASON". ALL of the courses in Naples ought to be ashamed of themselves for what they charge during season.

The course is in great condition

Great layout. Excellent conditions. Fast and true greens. The community is in the middle of construction, but the course is pristine.
