Always nice

I play this course often and if there are slower players they typically let you play ahead. The course is maintained well.

Decent course

Course is not bad. Definitely worth the price. Some sections of the course were a little rough, but you can also tell that players are not treating it like they should. Will go back for sure.

Great course for a great price

This course was a great one to introduce my brother and a friend to the game of golf! It’s a fun, relatively easy layout. The course is in good condition except for a couple spots on the greens that are being repaired. I definitely recommend it if you’re in the area!

Overall great experience

Found Applewood on GolfNow for about $25 for 18 and a Cart so wasn’t expecting much. But my group and I were surprised to see how good of condition it was in. Greens were firm and fast and fairways are pretty wide open. Great experience for the money and definitely will be back!

Excellent greens but a couple very silly pin placements

The course itself is average but the greens are very nice. Whoever placed the pins on a couple holes should have a bit of accountability though.

I’ve played 2X in the past year, both at Applewood. Both times I’ve had my truck scratched. I didn’t catch the first time until I was leaving the state for a while but even though I had backed into a space where no other cars were on either side (mine was the only auto on the row and the row was the farthest from the pro shop). When I returned from the course after playing, someone had parked next to me in spite of all the other spaces being empty. I thought it strange, but, whatever. Then when I stopped to get gas on my way to Tampa, I couldn’t help but notice a long, white scratch down almost the entire side of my truck. White…same as the van that parked next to me. Then yesterday, when I returned to my truck after the round, it was apparent that whoever had parked next to me had both opened their door into my driver’s side door but there were also a couple “swirly” marks too. I don’t know why people do these things but i do think it speaks to the typical clientelle of Applewood.

My only other problem was the 4some I ran into on the 11th tee. They were probably in their early-mid 20s. I was playing alone and although no one was in front of them (I never saw anyone, ever), they wouldn’t allow me to play through, so it was a long back 9. Multiple tee shots and putts, although they did seem to stop those, for a little while. Oh, and the pat 5 11th? The HUGE chunk of sod and black dirt all over one side of the green? Thank that group for that too!

Fun Course

Had not ventured this far away for a round and glad I did. Course in great shape, especially the greens. Rolled nice and held nicely. Course was a little firm and fairway lies were tight but very playable. Front was the better 9. Not a fan of the sharp doglegs on the back, especially #10. Saw a gator on 17 which was cool.

Course is getting in good shape, still tight lies in the fairways and around the greens but the greens have started to come in, smooth, moderate speed. Also getting some roll in the fairways helps me.

$13 GolfNow Deal

I would say I’d gladly pay $35-$40 to play this course. Holes aren’t “cookie cutter” and thinking your way around the course is highly encouraged. Greens are in fair shape, and consistent. There are bomb opportunities, but there are times to play the smart iron off the tee. I was able to get a HotDeal for $13 cart included. I’d do that every single day and twice on Sunday if given the chance. Got lucky and linked up with 2 other GolfNow patrons and had a great afternoon.

Always Very Friendly Staff

Always enjoy playing at Applewood. Unfortunately it’s a 40 minute drive, but I can always count on a very friendly staff and good greens.
