Reviews
First Timer
A couple of greens were beat up and well as some tee boxes. Besides those 4 things….Bice layout
Tuesday Morning
Greens on the front nine were in terrible condition I liked the course otherwise. Although I was very disappointed at check in I had a gift card that was partially used the previous week at King and Bear that they wouldn’t use this week and the staff member didn’t even try I would stay away until they get the greens get fixed
Avoid until conditions improve
Charged a resort fee not mentioned on GolfNow. Double charged for taxes. First green was all but unplayable, others had abnormal areas. Worst shape in which I’ve ever seen this course
First time
Pace of play was real slow. Loved the course layout. Cost was higher than the overall quality of the course. This was a $80-$100 type course not the $140 plus. If you are a big hitter off the tee then this is the course for you
Fun Course
Pace of place was pretty slow, about 5 hours 15 minutes for 18 on a Sunday afternoon in mid April, tee boxes and fairways were typically in good-great condition, around 25% of greens had noticeable/impactful dead spots that needed repair and surrounded the hole making putting difficult.
Overall the course was in good condition, but it would help to marshals keep up pace of play.
Also ran into some kids fishing in the various ponds need tee boxes and fairways that would cast off and yell to their friends during back swings. I didn’t mind but could see how this would be bothersome to other golfers. For an evening round $79 the price seemed fair, I wouldn’t pay the $170+ they want for a morning tee time given the green conditions and pace.
I found the experience disappointing given the high cost. The pricing is absurdly expensive for the course's condition; the layout was lackluster and doesn't justify the steep investment.
The greens were inconsistent and did not provide the smooth putting experience expected at such a renowned destination, severely detracting from the enjoyment of the round.
I recommend spending a little more to play at Dye's Valley at Sawgrass instead, it offers a superior layout and better maintenance. Slammer & Squire left me underwhelmed and it wasn’t worth the visit.
Going downhill
I have played here in the past and the course was in terrific shape. Now, not so much. Granted April 5th was a company tournament, but if I had paid full price and gotten to the first hole green I would have immediately returned to the club house to ask for my money back. Unacceptable condition for a $150-$175 golf course. Hole one green isn’t the only green in bad shape either. The 2 restrooms on the course one on hole 6 and one on hole 15 are absolutely disgusting and look like they haven’t been cleaned in a year. Gross. Do better Slammer and Squire.
Herbal greens, Fairways, OK?
First off, the greens are absolutely horrible, Worst conditions of over 40 rounds this year in Florida. Over priced, slow play 5 hours, won’t be coming back anytime soon…would be ok if under $60
Overpriced
Top of the list for not worth the money. No gps and poor conditions
Great layout,Horrible greens!
Course payout is great, some nice target golf, unfortunately greens were in terrible condition, and the few that were good were so slow and fuzzy. Staff was great and practice area was very good.
Rough Shape
Course is a beautiful layout, but appears to be neglected. Greens are full of bare spots with green fertilizer or coloring applied in an attempt to make them look better. Fairways are hard and closely mown. Specifically wanted to play here because of the Palmer/Nicklaus connection, but left disappointed. Could be a beautiful place, but needs a lot of TLC. Definitely not worth the $160 charged in present condition.
Loved the course
Staff was absolutely lazy in every fashion, if I own this course I'd be upset of the help, may has well been self serve
Overrated
Greens were In terrible conditions for the price paid
Renovation
It seemed like the cost was in much better condition prior to the renovation. Didn’t see any changes to the cost at all, certainly below what I have experienced in the past.
