Reviews
Great course for the drive
This is a great place to play no outside distractions only you and the course would recommend to everyone else but I’m afraid that it will get out and then get too crowded so I’m keeping it to myself
Love it
Love this course just got stuck behind 3 groups playing slow so we skipped the last three holes.
Great Value
While vacationing on Amelia Island we drove the 90 minutes to this course Located adjacent to Okefenoki Swamp State Park, this course has awesome landscape - no homes!!!
Well maintained and best greens we played so far. Reasonable priced range balls and super practice range with pitching green and bunkers. Sand is country club quality and on the course too. Price point is excellent. Worth the drive. Friendly staff. Playing again soon and will tour the Park too afterwards. Challenging and fair.
Off the beaten track but worth a visit
I"ve played this course about 6 times but only during February as this is when I'm in the area. It's about an hours drive but the course is in good shape and the cost is fair. I normally play in the afternoon when it's not busy and play quickly. This time I started mid-morning and it took five hours to play. Not accepatable or fun. There was actually a sixsome a few holes ahead. The ranger was trying to break them up. I'll definitely return but only play in the afternoon.
Nice greens
This course always delivers a great opportunity to get better on my game will be back soon
good value
Was cart path only lots of rain the day before still fun wet shoes and all
Worth The Drive
Exceptional course with conditions that the majority of private courses could only hope to rival. Worth every bit of the 1 plus hour drive from my north florida home. I could only hope that north florida had a course like this. Thank You for a great day of golf.
Great day
Excellent conditions
Greens very nice but whew the pin placements for a Thurs were rough
Haven't been there in awhile so the bunkers were great to play out of. Not that hard compacted sorta sand from times past.
Always worth the trip from Jax, fl
Quiet Course
This has to be the most secluded course I’ve played
Greens are in great shape!
Fast greens and open fairways! Just wish they would get a beverage cart.
