Bombs Away!
My drive is only 200-220 yards at the most so many of the holes here are just out of my range to make greens in regulation. I feel like I just hit driver then 3 wood all day. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the challenge once in a while. Most fairways are very wide and forgiving however they are not in the best shape. A lot of bare spots and mud and I noticed many old fairway bunkers from my app are now non-existent. Just let them grow over for whatever reason. Pretty much just flat and bombs away on most holes. A couple doglegs and a challenging par 3 here and there. After hammering the driver all day, the 18th par 5 is a fitting finish to the round. You’ll see what I mean when you see it. I’ll be back again next year
Could have have better service from the cart on the course. Only saw them once and didn’t come by again.

Thanks for your feedback, u679924472! We’re glad you enjoyed your time but apologize for the service experience on the course. We’re always looking to improve and will address this with our team. Your input helps us make things better for everyone!
Fun course
Course was nice, definitely some spots with with no grass, but really fun layout and would recommend

Hi u8185508, thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the course layout. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We'll definitely look into improving the grassy areas you mentioned. We hope to see you back again soon for another round!
Don’t Bother
Dog track, save your money and go elsewhere. Tee boxes are average at best, fairways are spotty, bunkers are average, greens rolling slow and bumpy with crabgrass patches all throughout. It’s a crime they charge more than $30-$40 to play here.

Hi golftek007, we're sorry to hear about your experience at our course. We appreciate your feedback and will address the issues you mentioned with our team to improve the overall quality of our facilities. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future to provide a better experience for you.
Great Day
1st time playing this course…nice set up and layout that was in great shape… greens were perfect… great value… beers were cheap and service was awesome!!!

Hi Bmcglashen! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your positive experience at our course. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the set up, layout, and the condition of the greens. We appreciate your feedback on the value, drinks, and service. We hope to see you again soon!
Course OK, Staff is horrific
If you want to be lectured (4 to 5 minutes long) during the middle of your round, told to go to the driving range before coming back to the course, and if you are playing badly, you need to play badly quickly, then this is the course to go to (by the way, we were 10 -15 minutes behind the pace on the 9th tee). These are actual quotes that the starter said to my group as we came to the 9th tee. After two of the group struggled to hit their tee shots, he singled them out and said they should go to the driving range before coming back. One of those was my son who was having a fun day with his dad as this was his first time on a course after trying the golf range about 10 times. This "gentleman" tainted what was a great day for me and my son. And for what, a measley 10 minutes? He was so caught up in his lecture to speed up our play that he started to cause a delay. A simple request such as " hey guys, there is a full hole open in front of you, can you pick up the pace a bit" would have sent the same message. As it is, I will never go back to the course, which is a shame as it is not overly challenging for a beginner. Instead, I would strongly suggest that you visit Rock Manor, Deerfield, or Porky Olivers course.
Course conditions
Course was in great condition but was very disappointed that there was literally NO. DRINKING OR TOWEL WATER available anywhere in the course and it Was 90 degrees, 90% humidity, and NO wind!!

Hi mjsjtjcj, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your kind words about the course condition. We apologize for the inconvenience of not having drinking water or towels available. We will address this issue to ensure a more enjoyable experience for all our guests.
A lot of fun and done before 10 am
Tee time was 6:36. I was paired with a 30 something who could hit the green from 280 on one hole (so a lot longer than this 65 year old even playing from the forward tees). But it was fun! The only guy in front of us was a single, so we finished 18 in a little under 3 hours. Course conditions were good. It was surprisingly cool (low 60s when we started) for early June (I won't see those temps in Florida for months). The course has a lot of slope in the fairways, so it plays like a links course (which I love). Although, if you are trying to run the ball onto the green the approach paths are narrow. No real forced carries (again something I don't like since I'm not a long hitter on the fly). A couple of fun elevated tees (and a couple where you are hitting up some hills). Local knowledge on some of the doglegs is useful for picking a line, but, most of the shots are in front of you.
Average Value
The starter at this course must go, this man clearly HATES his job. Every time I see him, I regret booking at this place. Pro shop staff, bev cart, bar, and cart staff are always friendly. Course conditions: Greens were in surprisingly great shape! A lot of the tee boxes could use some love. Fairways were in pretty good condition. They’re also doing a great job at growing up areas of the course to make it more challenging. Back in the day you could literally hit the ball ANYWHERE and have a shot. That’s no longer the case.

Hi Bradley, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed our course conditions overall. We will definitely take your comments about the starter into consideration to improve the experience for all our guests. We hope to see you back soon!

i thought the course was in excellent condition and the pace of place was good , a four hour round. they could use a driving range.

Hi Ken, thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the course condition and pace of play during your round. Hope to see you back soon!
Always on my course rotation
Been playing here for nearly 40 years. Best it's looked - mild, rainy weather has helped. Was 5th group out on a Sunday morning. Finished in 4 hours. Great time.
