Awesome course

Much more challenging than the north course but just as beautiful if not more than the north course. Range is included in golf price and pro shop, snack shop, and amenities are great. 10/10 would recommend.

Worth It!

Drove 1.5 hrs to play the course.

The carts were plush and equipped with bluetooth speakers.

Complimentary golf balls provided on the fully equipped training facility. Multiple practice greens with chipping areas.

Got a chance to see both the North and South course. Although the North course had more of a manicured look, the South course was more exciting. The greens were fast and smooth. Course wasn't perfect but was in great shape.

Staff was extremely friendly.

I absolutely loved it! And it was well worth the trip.

Great course

Excellent shape, new carts w/gps. The only issue was no Cart service, no water stations at tee boxes and the snack bar closed early. It was a Monday but considering the cost to play they should have some amenities.

Pin Placements

Pin Placements were ridiculous. Not one pin was in the middle of the green they are all about 3-4 paces from the fringe on ones side or the other. I love the course but need to make some of the Pin placements fair for golfers.

Best course in area

Played the south course today and was dually impressed. Fairways, greens, tees, sand traps all in excellent condition. Even as dry as it has been this winter, the course was immaculate. Using golf now coupons made the course well worth the $45 I spent.

Best course I've played in the area, better than Saddlebrook.

Peaceful

Very quiet Monday afternoon. Cool weather & breezes, mostly overcast. Greens are great; same speed as practice green, but not as severely sloped; the ball WILL stop even on a downhill putt. First time on North course; possibly a little more difficult than the South. Great routing; wide fairways; plenty of room between the course and the surrounding homes. Couple of holes have trees in the fairway - not big fan of that. Good/great design though. Nice elevation change. Variety of holes layouts. Some bunkers need work, but hey, I'm not supposed to hit it there! A little damp/muddy and thin grass in a lot of places even in the fairway. Great staff. Great carts w/ GPS.; wish they had a USB port. Only issue is that 9th hole isn't near the clubhouse; no water jugs yet; bring plenty of your own water, and snacks if you need them.

Starter let me play the north since it was less busy

Play there once a week and try to vary the courses. Always a fun time and love both tracks. Great condition and they take care of you real good. Both are different and must plays in this area.

Blustery day

Nice course, although we enjoyed the south course better. The difference could have been the weather, we played on a cold windy day.

Great course but it got slow.

We were first tee time and flew through the front only to meet up to a logjam on the back nine including a fivesome. This was a Sunday morning tee time and was not expecting so many people to be sent off back 9. In addition, there was a swarm of mosquitoes on the driving range in the morning that made it extremely uncomfortable.

Cart girl absenteeism

Played the North course in 3 hrs, from 2-5pm, which is nice, but never saw a cart girl. How is that possible with 2 cart girls? I’m a Disabled Veteran with a heart condition, thank god nothing happened, but I was definitely dehydrated and I had a cup of water with ice and a Gatorade, which was gone by the 9th hole. As a possible future resident and possible client I was throughly disappointed. Your business is customer service, today you failed.
