Great Course

Greens were fast and in great condition. Fairway and Tee boxes were pretty good. Some needed work but overall good. Played the South course. Want to come back and play the North course.

Good Conditions

Used a golfnow plus reward so my 45$ hot deal was free.

Arrived early for my 12:06 tee time, pro shop guy(no mask on) told me the starter was gone for the day and i could head out after i hit my range balls. He also stated that there was no beverage service and no water on the course. I brought a cooler so that was fine. Started about 15mins early and never saw anyone in front of me, 18 holes in just about 2 hours.

Carts are nice, with gps and blue tooth speakers.

Greens are still a bit sandy, especially on the edges but still rolled smooth and are quite fast. Tees are very level with only a few bare spots but nothing to complain about. Fairways are great and offer lots of roll out. Bunkers are different from hole to hole, some have fine white sand, others yellow almost clay like. Jovita is always well maintained, but that comes with the price tag. Hot deals are the way to go if you can stand the heat in the afternoon. Very nice layout with great views and lots of elevation changes, and large greens.

Walking most of the course due to Cart Path only conditions.

We had to walk a lot of the course and feel some of the holes that were Cart Path only were ok to drive 90 degrees on. I noticed on those that you had areas staked off and if people just did not take there carts I those areas pave of play would have been a lot better.

Always Worth The Drive

The North course is not as dramatic as the South course but it always seems to be in much better shape. The fairways are excellent and the rough, fairways, tee boxes and greens all get my vote for tops in the area for the price. The carts are top of the line and the restaurant has a decent menu. The South course is not as nice and is more challenging, but both are worth the drive from the city.

Great shape

Easy course to play but if you are a big hitter it plays over 7200 yards. I played white tees and that was enough for me. The tee boxes were choppy but I assume that is temporary rest of course great shape

DO NOT PLAY HERE

The pace at this course is absolutely horrible. The pro shop does not care that on carts in groups of three people the total round took over 4.5 hours, well above what’s recommended from the USGA. The staff is also incredibly rude and told me not to come back since I was upset about waiting on every single shot. The course is ok. There are some incredibly unfair holes where you hit a perfect drive 300 yards in the middle of the fairway and it plugs and you have a muddy ball with a very sloped lie. Legit courses don’t have bowls in the center of the fairway or trees in the center for that matter. The center of fairways should be more flat as a reward for hitting it there, not sloped, wet, and muddy. As a 4 handicap player who plays regularly, I will never be coming back to this course again. Way over priced and certainly not worth it to wait on every single golf shot.

Big track!

It was wet so it played extremely long!

Greens were very good! True rolls and held a correctly struck approach! A big challenge to your game from all tees!

The one thing that was a negative was most bunkers were either flooded with water and you would lose the ball or not playable! Overall will return again and it’s worth the price!

Ps- jump on the tips if you want to see were your game is as a single digit hdcp! It’s a beast!!

Too wet!

Played the South Course for the first time and very impressed with the layout. Typical summer rain has taken it’s toll. The bunkers were unplayable. Many of the green side traps were full of water so it made it very difficult not only to play but find your ball. Considering the wet conditions we had a great time. I can only imagine this course dry and playing fast! Whoa!
