Standard golf

You get a great layout to challenge all aspects of your game. Some doglegs and some distance control tee shots. The water holes require perfect approach shots. You can usually find your ball unless you put it in the water on the 4 or 5 holes that it comes into play.

Top Day

1st time playing the McCormick course, and was put on the Pines - fabulous layout and course conditions.

I was paired up with 3 playing partners, one who lived on the course community.

Definitely be on my list to play again on my revisit next year.

Great challenge

Traditional golf. A few water hazards and lots of bunkers to avoid. The pins are seemingly always well protected and the greens drop off quickly if you are off by only a few yards. You must know the exact yardage for each shot to set yourself up for a chance to post a score. Otherwise, happy hacking, and good luck hitting into the blind unknown. Bring plenty of balls, too!

Slow and poo conditions

This course was way overpriced for the quality. The fairways were messy and their were balls everywhere from other holes. The pace of play was very slow. Waited on every hole on the back nine. 4.5 hours is too long for a simple layout.

Needs TLC

The course is a long established course. It is need of TLC with the fairways and most tee boxes. Still a decent course.

Perfect for medium players 12-25 handicap

Loved everything but the traps - no real sand mostly gravel or muddy! Pines better than Palms!

Very Disappointing

Not worth the money not matter how much you pay. Take your life in your hands on the first tee as no fencing between that and the driving range. Restrooms on the course were dirty and run down.
