Beautiful Day

Beautiful day to play golf, This is a fun course and well kept. My only complaint is they just send you out and they usually do not have a starter so i end up playing alone a get stuck behind foursomes.

only one complaint

My only complaint is I play here at least once a month and they just send you out, they never say you're playing with Mr Jones or Mr. Brown most courses tell you who your playing with. I always try to book with other people and check before leaving the house how many players are scheduled for my tee time. I am not sure why they don't care it just makes play very slow when you play alone and have twosomes and foursome ahead. And i understand some people do not like to play with someone they do not know but i think that is a chance you take when you book on Golf Now.

No fun

When we checked in at the Pro shop we were advised to use only the holes with red flags. We went outside and met the starter who advised us to use only the yellow flags. This course is 27 holes with a champion course (18 holes) and an Executive course (9 holes). We found out later that the pro shop sent us to the Executive Course and the Starter sent us to the Champion course. This, coupled with the fact that there was little or no signage to identify the holes on the Executive course, as well as no yardage markers, and only two tee boxes at each hole (one for men and one for women) made the day a total wasted effort.

Pretty Nice.

Played P Inn at Crystal River for 1st time, hole #1 a pretty nondescript Dogleg left, very short, hit an iron off the tee. Hole #2 same, except a Dogleg right, each hole after that got a little better. Back nine is a little more scenic , fairways were decent, and greens as a whole, were very nice and consistent. For 28 bucks on a Feb. day, can't complain. Nice folks inside and the cart barn fella was a real gent! Will come back and Charlie's Seafood House is only a mile away!

Great Course

Nice course and layout. Fairways were a little wet from the rain fall overnight. Greens were fast and true. Will defiantly play again.
