Hidden gem close to Jacksonville!

The course is an awesome shape! Greens roll fast. Fairways are close to perfect. Nice wide open fairways with several holes that have a beautiful marsh land view. Easy to get around. The 9th and 18th greens are combined for an awesome set up at the end of both nines. Absolutely love playing this course! When I played it this time I was a single and the pro shop guy said I can go ahead and head out in front of a couple of groups. Basically had the entire course to myself with headphones in and played in under 2 1/2 hours. Only negative to the day is my driver shaft broke on hole 15 and I finished bogey / double bogey after that for a 77. Messed up a really good round. Tried to upload a few pics but the app kept crashing. Marsh land holes are beautiful though!

Course nice, but not well-run

The impression you get driving in is that this is a private club course, but the services are not "up to par". Nobody greets you at the bag drop. In the pro shop they just tell you to pick whatever cart you want and load up. There was no starter to be found to control the 1st tee, so people just did what they wanted. Broke up foursomes into twosomes, ignored actual starting times, etc. Nobody was keeping play moving on the course, either. At the turn we were disappointed that the clubhouse (only source of beer and food as there was no on-course concession) was closed due to a private event. At least they had ice water dispensers every few holes...At the end of the round we found the pro shop locked up tight and nobody to clean clubs and put them at the bag drop. Taking into consideration the low price of the round, I guess we got a good value, but I'd certainly pay more for a better experience.

Interesting course

Course had a very interesting layout. Very good shape. Greens were very firm and hard to get balls to hold. Several pin placements were on slopes making putting very tricky. Definitely a course I would like to play again.

Love it!

Wonderful course, nice layout. In great shape. Only one thing is missing. Why course don’t have a ball washer on the tee boxes? As much money they charge to play it should have a ball washer on the tee boxes.

Great track but tiny greens

This is a really interesting layout. It won’t overwhelm the amateur golfer, but it has enough challenges to keep the better golfers interested. The one word of warning I will give to amateur golfers, is that the greens generally speaking are very small and often very well protected with green side and green front bunkers. I had several really good drive ruined by approaches that weren’t quite right and got me in all sorts of problems. But with that warning, it was a very fun track for me to play, and not overwhelming despite my 20 index
