The National Golf & Country Club

courseis in good condition. greens rolling well. Course is as hard as you want to make it. most holes have wide landing back farther areas but also offer a payoff for riskier tee shots

The golf course is challenging, fairways and green are in great shape. It’s a new GC with limited amenities at this juncture. It offers a great value for money!

Can’t beat the course for the price this time of year. Great layout and in really good shape. Shame it will be private once they build out the neighborhood enough.

This course is amazing.. beautiful course conditions, and course layout. Really enjoyed my round .

Staff is excellent, course is in great shape! Starting to get warm near noon. Bring mosquito repellent if it’s near dawn!

To start, I do have to say that the course itself was in great shape. However, the surroundings were abysmal. It is in the middle of massive housing construction but no houses have even been started. It is only a mass of torn up ground. Many cart paths are dirt and have sewer/water pipes with arrows to show you the way around. The carts are set so that you can't get too close to the greens (they won't move unless you put them in reverse) but no one tells you this. It's very disconcerting to have your cart stop 75 yards from the green and then figure out why. It may be less expensive than others around, but you get what you pay for. Tried it once but never again.

Wonderful time late in the day.

The pace allowed us to play 18 holes late in the day!

We got a nice rate thru GolfNow for a round of golf at The National at Ava Maria. Having played it once before, and having a great experience the first time, I was excited to return with my Wife and another couple/ friends of ours. We went to the driving range and were quickly confronted by the starter. He was upset and told us that 3 Members of the Ava Maria University Golf Team were supposed to start their round at 3pm. It was now 336pm, our tee time, however he said he has to let them go out in front of us.. They were in their Golf Team Uniforms making them easy to identify. They were terribly slow , standing in the fairway with nobody in front of them and joking and having a good old time at our time and expense. The best is when their cart died in the middle of the course and they simply sat in it laughing and waiting for the course to bring them another cart. They could have simply pushed it aside and then called the clubhouse but no. Now 40 minutes behind from their slow, play, we hustled to try to finish our round. I went into the trailer after 9 to inform the guy at the desk about our experience that was caused by them by allowing them out 36 minutes late in the first place. The guy said that we have a tee time from GolfNow so “your on your own”. No “Im sorry. “What can we do to make it right”. Really didn’t care at all. The course is great. The bag guys fantastic. Even the starter was nice but his hands were tied and he clearly felt that he best put those guys out late in front of us. Great course. Terrible management. We would have easily finished the round but couldn’t and it was clearly caused by their management.

New course in what looks to be a large luxury community. The course conditions were excellent, club house yet to be built. Pro shop was fully stocked and the staff were very friendly and personable. A long ride from Naples but the price and tee time availability made the ride worthwhile.

This the great Course. wonderful condition fantastic greens a true treat to play such a well manicured course at a great price worth the drive.

Upon completion of the 18th hole directions back to the cart return were non existent and confusing. The staff said they continually tell management to improve directions back to the cart return and they have not corrected the situation. Staff said it is a continual problem.

Had a great time! Was officially a twilight rate and only finished 16 due to a slow group about 4 ahead of us. The group behind them complained to the clubhouse but I don't think anything came of it Other than that, the course was in beautiful shape, tees, fairways and greens and I shot my best score of the winter, even giving myself bogies on the unplayed holes.
