Are you kidding me!

The course conditions are as bad as I have ever played. There is absolutely no grass on any fairway or rough. The ball rolls 100 yards from a topped shot because there is nothing to stop it. Hard to believe the course was busy when we played!

Good Value!

This course has so much character and is a well designed course but its fallen on hard times with a low budget. For $ 35 with cart its a good value.. The manager was excellent working with a small crew and frost delay. The pace of play was horrible......we quit after 10 holes and 3 hours in the round.....we couldnt get done by dark.

Tough course for seniors

I found this course to be extremely challenging with many bunkers along the fairway and greenside. If you have a bad hip or shaky knees the bunkers are very difficult to get in and out of......and you will be in a lot. Links style course. Condition was very good with good green speed.

There are better courses in the area for the money

The course is pretty difficult for the average golfer with all the sand. Conditions were okay. I paid $ 42 which is a little high for this course.

Lots of water. Bring your A game..

This was the 4th time I have played the course. Challenging course with water on almost every hole. There are alligators to be aware of, but still a nice course.

Well worth the drive to the course. Best conditions in Central Florida and a very challenging layout. Great value......make sure you do the lunch special with the burger and beer.

Nice layout. Greens were very slow

Pace of play was bad with a slow foursome in front of us. The course has some nice fun holes on it and it is challenging. The greens were in good shape but very slow.

Very tough

The average golfer probably wouldn't have much fun playing this course. Waste areas and forced carries everywhere make for a tough round. I played in a 25 mph wind that made it even tougher.

Ridiculous pin placements

The pace of play was horrible, about 4 1/2 hours to play. I don't know who set the pins, but on 2 consecutive holes you could put up to the pin from 12 feet and if you missed the ball would come back to your feet. 5 or 6 putting was very common on these holes. I cant imagine why any greens superintendent would allow that.

This course has many nice fun holes

The course gets played a lot and it shows. The rough is hard to find because there is hardly any grass left growing because of the amount of cart traffic on the course. The greens were very good, but the rest of the course conditions were fair.

The course has continued to improve in condition and now the price has started climbing to go along with it. Its still worth the drive to play this challenging and scenic course.

Nice course, good value

I played this course 5 years ago and just returned for the first time. The course is in decent shape, the greens are ok. There are many challenging holes on the course. Good value for $ 25 with a cart.

The bar/restaurant is not owned by the same group. We were disappointed in the friendliness of the bar/restaurant staff. The golf staff was fine.

Overrated.

If you are a mid to high handicap player, this couse will eat you up. I was disappointed in the course based on reviews I have seen on it. There is no way for the high handicapper to run the ball to the green...on any hole. All forced carries over many bunker or water. Disappointed.

Great value

Challenging course. The greens are in fairly poor shape. Speed okay but patchy bad spots. For around $ 20 with a cart a great value to start our vacation after not playing for a few months. The pro said they had a record amount of players the day we played so it was a little slow.
