Nice mid level course

Very friendly staff and easy check in. Carts were clean and they gave me my own cart in spite of being in a foursome. The course was in good condition. Fairways were overseeded and greens were smooth and medium speed. The only negative was the driving range. Had to hit off of mats that were in very poor condition and were limited to 170 yard club.

Pleasantly surprised

Was impressed with the condition since the hurricane came through. Greens were smooth and true. Tees and fairways had good winter over seed.

Florida Buckeye

Great Shape

This course is in great shape. Hurricane Irma took its toll on some of the trees, but has all been cleared. Greens are some of the best in the County. If you haven't played here in a while, you should give it a try. Grounds keeping efforts have really paid off here.

Certainly worth playing

The course is recovering from the hurricane. Several trees were down and most clean up remaining is out of the playing area. The greens were a bit slow but pretty good.

Great time

After the hurricane they did a great job rebounding, course grass was in good shape, from tee box, fairways, greens. Most all downed trees and limbs taken away or stacked to be removed. Me and my wife had a great time.

After Irma

The course was in good shape for so soon after Irma passed through. There were some places that had excess water, but not so much that play was really affected. The greens were in decent shape and rolled well. Really nothing not to like except for some awful play on my part.

Sticky greens

Although the course was in decent shape, the greens need help. It was like Velcro making the ball stick.

Fun course

Greens were nice, tee boxes decent, nice staff, trees need to be trimmed one for more grass to grow in fairway, two trimmed because they are over the fairway.

I had situations that I was in the fairway or just off the fairway but tree overhang blocked line to green.

Course Conditions

Course was in pretty rough shape compared to historical conditions. Some of the greens and tee boxes were pretty bad, especially considering we had a very warm winter.

still a fun layout

this is the third time we had played here, it was pretty much what I remembered. The greens are a big thing with us and they were as good as I remembered them with good speed. convenient and okay shape. Typical Florida pub links.
