Awesome Course

I can sincerely say this is probably the nicest course overall that I have ever played. Great staff, fairways beautiful, a few greens recently have a little problem, but for the most part excellent. Have to play this course. You will not be disappointed.

Great course

Overall course was in great shape. Greens were slow and patchy due to recent aeration.

My thoughts

The course was rough condition due to having recently been punched and sanded both fairways and green—I understand that this is a necessary thing to keep the course in good condition so I willi not knock the course but that is why I would not recommend it just now

GREENS TOO SLOW

Fun track from the back tees including two really long par 3s and a 701 yard par 5. Many forced carries from the back tee but usually a 200 yard carry was plenty. Not much amenities, lots of construction, and it was buggy but if the greens were faster this would be terrific. Hate aqua ranges, however.

2 1/4 round

You got to love 18 holes in 2.25 hours...so we played 36. A few spots on the greens had some issues but otherwise excellent and worth the drive from Ft Lauderdale

Poor Customer relations

Overall poor quality greens. Had to come off after 11 holes because of lightning. Asked about rain cheque only to be told that if you start the 10th there was none.

Unfriendly staff. They need to look at Panther Run next door and see how they respond to same circumstances.
