Good course

Played on a Saturday with no one in front of me, haven't played in 3 months because of an ankle injury. and teed from the gold tees which played like 500 yards less and did good considering I usually play from the silver tees but i'am 65 years old and avoided a lot of hazards. The tees, greens and fairways weren't pristine but very playable with very fast green. Thoughly enjoyed my round with 6 pars and an 86 so now I may start playing from the senior tees instead of trying to relive my younger years.

Here Agsin

I've played this course many times in the last 27 years, and it has changed for the better during those years. Trees removed, fairways worked on, etc. This last round was played on an excellent course and a fine day. The fairways were good for springtime, and the greens ran true. You couldn't want much more than that. I will suggest that you try lunch at the snack bar, especially the Angus burger, about a half pound of tender juicy meat cooked to perfection.

Good Greens

The fairways seemed like they could use more fertilizer. Course doesn’t need much work for it to be a great course in great condition. Tea boxes could use fertilizer they needed to be thickened up as well as the fairways but it is a fun course to play. I’ve seen this course in better condition than this and I’ve also seen it worse

Fun Course

It’s very open, Florida Links style. The course is in good shape and the staff is great. It’s a great value and worth the drive to Crystal River.
