Nice value

Play it while still public. A bit of a funny mix of shorter par fours on the front with two 200 yard plus par threes from red tees. Greens growing on well. Pay attention the on cart displays for hidden water on a few. Club house still under construction so pro shop in trailer with some bottled sodas. Gas carts. I would bring your own snacks.

Pace

I have played this course many times. Unfortunately, this time we had to wait on nearly every shot because of the players in front of us.. Beyond, that problem, The National is one of the most enjoyable courses available.

Bad Course!

This course is in the middle of a construction site. Hated every minute of it. It was over booked waiting on every tee box, big thumbs down!

Great place, kinda out of the way

Great golf course. A little ways to get there from North Naples. Still just a trailer for their pro shop. New pro shop open by March?? Course was in great shape, nice layout, pace of play was ok a little slow, but ok. Decent value for the cost. One day soon, this will be a “go too, must play” venue!

Not Ready

This course in five years will be a good golf course. When you have to drive through a construction site to get to the next hole that should warn off any potential players. Overpriced for such bad amenities also.

Overbooked!

Everyone is stacking up foursomes in order to maximize their profit. Thus there’s a wait at every hole.

No one wants to play a 5 hour round but that’s what you’re getting in the wintertime.

It’s a shame because it’s a nice course.

NIce new course

Played on a nice day from Red tees (6,478 yards). The course is in good condition. Greens are true - not too fast and not too slow. Some holes are similar with wrap-around fairways around a body of water, but distance is not too far. Course was using gas powered golf csrts. The clubhouse is nearing completion (I think it will be done in March 2022). Driving range balls were included with golf fees which was a nice amenity. I'm a 10 index and shot 80. The course is fairly wide open and not many trees - mostly have to deal with water and sand. I liked the course and will play it again!

Great Value

Really enjoyed The National at Ave Maria. Friendly staff, good driving range and short game area. While there is a lot of construction, the course is very enjoyable. It,’s very fair with wide fairways, elevated greens which are in very good shape and hold shots. Water and sand definitely come into play.. There are five sets of tees so it will suit all games. I would have liked to see a set of combo tees and they need to rate the course. That said, I would highly recommend this track.
