Slow ... but worth it.

I chalk the time up to the players.

They need to play appropriate tees. 5.45 hrs for 18.

The course plays long. If you need to hit driver on a par 3 you are playing the wrong tees

Great track

Staff at the Tooth check in save the day!

Played Crooked Cat and Panther Lake many times, but this was the first time at the Tooth course. Great challenge and way better than I expected. Fantastic carts to walk with and a great layout.

Facility is amazing aside from the rude unfriendly staff in the clubhouse. This is not the first time a staff member at check in hasn’t been able to answer the skill testing question I started with, Hi, How are you? Absolutely miserable from the young staff member who was wearing a sweater two sizes too small for his lil belly. We made our way to the tooth check in and the couple at this part of the course were absolutely fantastic! They really saved the day and should be applauded for their efforts in welcoming us. They gave us the layout, tricks, and wanted to ensure we had a fantastic day. They even checked in at the end to make sure we enjoyed! Well done!

Mow in the Dark

We began our round at 10:20 a.m., teeing off on the first hole. As we approached the second hole, the fairway was being mowed, and the tee boxes were still being tended to. Despite our arrival, the staff member did not pause his work, so we waited for him to finish before proceeding. By the third hole, he continued mowing nearby and left his engine running during our tee-off.

Throughout the first nine holes, we encountered the lawn maintenance team on every hole, which detracted from our experience. After finishing the round, we visited the pro shop to share our concerns, but the staff seemed unresponsive. We did not receive any offer of a complimentary refreshment or gesture of goodwill; instead, we felt that our concerns were dismissed in favor of routine business operations.

We appreciate your attention to this feedback, as it’s important to us—and likely to other guests—that the golf experience is enjoyable and minimally disrupted. Thank you for considering our comments.

One of the hardest, but condition almost perfect!

I only get to play once every couple months now .. my game is usually ok, for no practice .. but I just chose one of the hardest courses in the county. They do final qualifying here. I held my own, but my real purpose was to enjoy one of the best conditioned courses in central Florida. They had a great rate going .. better than many that are of less quality.

Condition was just one step under tournament ready .. some water still from the hurricanes, but most wasn't really in play, except for the wayward shot. I was told Crooked Cat had more lying water. Panther was exceptional.

Beautiful Course, Well Maintained

The course played in just a little over 4 hours. Tee boxes, fairway and greens were in excellent condition. Greens were fast and rolled true. Would play again!

Beautiful nature

The course is a pleasure with beautiful landscape and birds instead of houses lining the fairways. It’s difficult but fair. Will go back!!

Great day

Everything was great from the cart guys to the starter as well as the course. It was cart path only but we got a mail a couple of days before giving us the chance to change if we wanted .

Greens were in great shape.

Nice golf but slow

Se lo es this golf, Nice conditions, good fast greens. It’s just a pity it was too slow. When there so many people playing (they told us it was usually like that at this time of the year), there should be more time in between.
