Pair up with who they say

I was playing as a single and paired up with a beginner golfer. The will make you ride with who they say. You have no say so you paid over a hundred bucks to play with a golfer who is nice but hasn’t learned to hit a ball yet. So my advice is to only play this course as a 4 some. They are not that nice about pairing you either kind of like a drill sergeant that you pay to abuse you

Dissappointed

I was scheduled to play the course with a foursome on 2/27 but unfortunately I tore my meniscus the day before playing on another course… I called HR in the morning and told them what happened and the pro shop folded no worries…
Unfortunately HR thru Golf Now charged me the total cost for the foursome($400), I don’t believe that to be fair, it was not my plan to get injured we reallly wanted to play the course…
I tried to contact the GM of HR(Donnie) but to no avail, I called him and emailed him and he didn’t respond to either, not cool !
It’s just not right to be charged the full price for a foursome, I can understand a smaller cancellation fee but not full price, totally unfair !!

Nice course in heart of Davenport

Played mid afternoon and while the course was full play moved along at a good pace, we finished 18 in four hours on the dot. The greens were in good shape, fairways were decent but tee boxes were pretty beat up. I enjoyed the layout with the challenge being the rolling terrain since there is no real water anywhere on course after #1.

I’d play there again.

Course is in good shape

Played in exactly 4 hours and 4 minutes...in a 4some playing 3 different tees. Rangers are active and help keep play moving.

Course is in good shape. The rye overseed produced solid fairway lies and consist lies around the green. The greens are good but they mark up with spike marks really easily. Not the course's fault, but most putts requires multiple tap downs of spike marks. People just don't know how to walk these days.

Course is managed well and the staff are friendly.

Highlands gc

Course was dry but ok
They should have turned on the sprinklers to get water on course
I was told courses make about 70% of their revenue while the snow birds are down here but they don’t water very well
Why not?

Let er rip!

Fun wide open layout with an unusual amount of elevation change for a Florida course. Greens were in great condition, fairways were a little dry, really nothing to complain about here. Would definitely play again.

Everything was okay

The course was in good condition. I personally think the green fee is a bit expensive. Everything else was okay.

Course conditions

The course was okay, but not for the price.
Greens and tees were good, but fairway and rough were thin or none existent. Had to putt from 30 yds off green a couple of times as the fairway was way too thin. Course should have been in the $60-$70 range. Played Disneys Lake Buena Vista the day before for like $20 more.
I realize this is Florida and the snowbirds are down at this time. But prices seem to be getting carried away. Played a lot of nice courses throughout the country and it seems golf is on its way back, But that also means the prices are only going to vlumb

Lovely Golf Course

We stayed in Orlando for 2 months and found this gem a few weeks in - we tried other courses, but found this tough to beat. The holes are all good, no water which can be a positive! For the price and course condition (very good greens), this is a must play golf course. Very friendly staff and unlike many courses, each group had a pace of play monitor and the rangers kept on top of it. Can’t wait to get back next year.
