Really hard to get a tee time!

Love the course, the management, everything about the place except trying to get a tee time. Almost impossible. Times are gone any day I try within 15 seconds of the opening “bell”. Really frustrating. Must be something that can be done to more equitably spread the times around.

Nice course. Can’t wait until construction is complete

Course is in great shape. Pace was exceptional. Construction makes things “bumpy” at times but it’s understandable. They could use some better signage to get carts back to return area.

The National at Ave Maria

I liked the layout and the conditions were good, both fairways and greens. No clubhouse or 19th hole to speak of, they’re missing out but I realize their (and not unlike Babcock Ranch and Heritage Landings) long term plans are in place.

Over Priced

If you like to be overcharged ,forced to use Filthy Port-O-Potty’s as bathrooms , Construction vehicles and noise at almost every whole and an overall bad experience then this is the place for you .

The tee boxes are in good condition and fairways are satisfactory.

Play It While You Can!

Have played this course a number of times in season. It's a very playable layout with relatively large and undulating greens. Water and good bunkering. Great conditions, considering it's less than two years old. This will become a really, really good track as it matures. Unfortunately, once the home construction is complete, it will most likely become private. (BTW, the ONLY reason I gave it one star for "off course amenities" was because as it is very, very young, there's no clubhouse---only a trailer used as a temporary area to sign in and get some basic snacks. That again, will change pretty soon and it looks like it will be a very nice setup.)

Ave Maria

As stated by other reviews, it's a newer golf course with houses surrounding the course under construction in most areas. Nice golf course in good condition. Undulating fairways and greens made it challenging. The pro shop is in a trailer as are the rest rooms, beverage carts on course are the only food / drinks available (other than water in the pro shop). Greens fees reflected the limited amenities. Good value for the price.

Great Course

Excellent shape, not too tough, good layout with many very good holes - all around this is probably best options for anything even close to Naples. Could play there every day and not be bored. Highly recommend. Discounted prices in mid-to-late afternoons.
