Work in Progress

My understanding is that this course was just recently reopened after being closed for several years. That probably explains why it was not in the excellent shape most Florida courses usually are. The fairways still need to fill in a good bit with good grass. The greens were really slow because they were still recovering and not cut close. The course does have potential and could be really nice with some TLC. To me, the price was too high for a course in its current condition.

Great, as always.

Every time we play, residents are working on the course. Beautiful layout, great staff, great restaurant. It’s in my group’s regular rotation. It was our new fourth’s first time. He used the on-course restroom and came back astonished. “That’s the cleanest bathroom I have ever seen on a golf course.” He’s been playing for 40+ years. Lol

Enjoyed the round!

Staff extremely friendly and the greens were in great shape. The fairways could have been better, but all in all I enjoyed the round and will definitely be back the next time I'm in the Gainesville area.
