Wet

Surprised that the course was as wet and soggy as it was as it had not rained for over a week. Maybe it was from the sprinklers and the ground doesn’t drain well. Fairways were in good shape whereas the greens were a little thin.

Have a great golf outing

Greens, Teeing areas, and Fairways were great. Some wet areas, due to massive amounts of rain in Citrus County. Fun putting on such nice greens.

Wet

See Title. Very Wet, but given that we are way above average rainfall for the year, and the course is no more than 3' above sea-level, it was playable. Greens in good condition, a little slow, but that, also, is typical of courses in the area this time of year. All in all good value.

Nice course

The course was in very good condition for summer. Lots of water hazards and well placed sand traps. The greens were surprisingly fast and well maintained. I’ll definitely will be back.

Enjoyable day

Our round was fast due to a threatening rain but the course played well. Some fairways were a little burned out from lack of rain but are beginning to recover. The greens are back in shape .

It was an enjoyable day.
