National

We were not told the cart had to be in by 7:00 pm. We could have played another 4/5 holes....If we knew, we would have teed off at 3:00 instead of 4:39....

EXECPTIONAL COURSE

The only negative was, as a disabled veteran I hand the handicap flag displayed on my cart. But we were not able to park/drive near the greens. There were no indicators/flags on where the carts could not go. Too many times, we had to back out of areas and consumed too much time going in reverse.

Maturing nicely

It had been 18-24 months since the last time playing the course. We appreciated how the course is maturing. It was in good shape. Pace of play was good as there were very few golfers on the course. Staff was friendly. Felt it was a good value for what we paid.

No definition to the holes.

Worst was POOR etiquette on 3 some ahead of. Bad at golf and refused to let us play through even though hit 2 hit tee shots about 50 yards on a par 3. And couldn’t find their ball. Many holes look similar.

Great Course

This course is in excellent condition. Staff is very friendly. The only issue was the pace of play. There were 3 foursomes backed up on 3 or 4 of the holes on the backside. A proactive ranger would have been helpful.

Wonderful Day at The National!

The course was in excellent condition from tee to green. Even with the absence of trees (a huge benefit for my game) it was scenic due to the wonderful job of course design. Even in the flat topography of SW FL the fairways were full of undulations and bunkering was impressive as well.

Speaking of undulations, the greens were a challenge! They are large, well manicured and rolled true and fast but those undulations kicked my butt. I had far more three putts that I care to admit.

Overall, the experience was a great one! Every member of the staff was friendly and helpful as well. We definitely hope to return!
