Amazing staff, great layout. Love the bent greens. Pace of play on the front was brutal.

It's always a fun course to play. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Course always seems to be in great shape. Greens held all approaches.

Played the green course today. Great staff and you pass the halfway house twice. Tee boxes fairways, and traps were great. Greens were very good but lots of pitch marks not taken Care of. What is wrong with people. I remember 2 greens with some problems around the fringe. 2 holes were cart path only. I would definitely go back!

Great day on the course all staff was very friendly and very helpful. Nice place to play while visiting

I got to play by myself and appreciated that. I didn't know the course since it was my first time, but it was easy to follow. Very nice crew at all the spots. The MINI Caddy Drink Shack with ice and water was amazing, My home club doesn't have that. NICE! To be able to hit range balls and feel like I was a member made me feel special. Now about that score of mine. I'll be back and do better!

96 degrees weather was unbearable but the course had lots of shade .lots of hills, fairways with moguls! Pretty fast greens. Sand traps firm. Lots of raised greens. Fairways m, tee boxes and greens in good shape. Have to think about where to hit your shot. Fun layout. Super friendly staff. All the Gary’s and Larry were great!!

Played this course after very heavy rain storms. We had the first Tee Time of the day. It was cart path only (for good reason). There was water everywhere, most sand traps were completly full of water. Staff was working very hard to get the course cleaned up and the sand traps pumped out.

The course was in great shape. The fairways were wide and it was a wonderful round of golf.

I was really excited to play the Gold Course after all of the hype, however I came away pretty disappointed.

Initially the staff did a great job welcoming me onto the course etc. but once I had paid and played, nobody wanted to even ask if I had a good time at the end of my round - a stark contrast to the friendliness exhibited at Independence and Royal New Kent. The clubhouse is very nicely appointed, if quite formal feeling - it's clear where the greens fees are being spent.

The course itself was "good", but it didn't wow me in the same way Royal New Kent did. The course condition was below average for a course in this price range - many of the tee boxes had lots of divots, and the number of unrepaired pitch marks and dead spots on the greens was pretty woeful (maybe rich people don't fix their own pitchmarks). All of the bunkers were wet (we're currently experiencing a heatwave, so I'm unsure how that happens without intentional watering). There was standing water on some of the fairways, and lots of sodden patches, making approach play less pleasant.

The green complexes were a highlight, and ran very true, but the greens were running pretty slow - particularly compared to other courses in the area. It felt very "target golf" in the hole design - with not much innovation or varying design from hole to hole. Hole 16 is a beautiful design, and the closest many of us will get to the TPC Sawgrass experience. The overall course design felt fairly pedestrian and like many other parkland courses I have played for half the price.

At $200 per round, I expect to be blown away - and the combination of slightly tepid staff, below average course conditions, and repetitive hole design didn't leave me feeling that impressed. This was a fun course to play once, but I won't come back at this price. There are plenty better courses in the area for sub-$150 that I would rather play twice than play here again. The white tees also played exceptionally short - actual played yardage was only 5,988yds compared to the stated 6,248yds - so you may want to consider moving back a tee box.

The gold course is a solid track and must play when in the area. Conditions are superb and the layout gives great opportunity for creative shots and risk/reward. The par 3s alone are amazing each has a similar design but its own character with great use of the water features. Play both Green and Gold the same day for a great deal using their replay rates.
