nice course poorly maintained

It's a shame that such a nice course was not properly maintained. All of the greens were dead, some just dirt with punched out holes. The layout is great but with such poor green condition it's hardly worth the trip. Until greens improve, which likely will take months, cost should be reduced to less than $30.00.

Great Potential

Great layout but fairways are dirt and very patchy grass. Bunkers with overgrowth of weeds. Greens rolled well which was the highlight and made it an enjoyable round. Cost should really be under $30.00 due to conditions.

Nice layout

Nice layout with several interesting and challenging holes. Price is reasonable. Greens are slow. Overall a fun experience except for the person at the pro shop who is a bit rough on his demeanor.

Well maintained golf course

Excellent lay-out with well kept tee boxes and fairways. Greens are also well maintained, undulating and fast. Only draw back to this very nice course is the septic areas in the back nine which are large and in the way of many holes.

great course!

Long and challenging. Shots off the fairway penalized by tall weeds. Requires using all clubs in your bag. We played in 95 degree weather so not many golfers out there. Overall a very nice golf course. The golf starter was very nice and helpful.

A true 5 star

Very well manicured golf course with excellent practice area. Greens rolled true, tee boxes and fairways in very good shape. Bunkers with sufficient and fluffy sand. Not very long but plenty of challenges and water.

Challenging but needs TLC

Clearly a challenging course due to multiple elevation changes and many blind shots. Requires skill with almost all clubs to properly navigate. The course does need to work on the integrity of the tee boxes, fairways and greens due to many weeds and bare spots. The greens are large, undulated but slow at they are not cut short.Very different than usual Florida courses and has good potential if better kept.

Not well taken care off

Course has potential. Greens were in ok shape and with good speed but that is about all. The tee boxes and fairways are mostly weeds and dirt. Not sure why it was rated 4 stars which puts it in same category as some other much better kept courses. Rating a 4 star course is making the rating system unreliable.

Gray course but needs TLC

This is a very mature and nice course with plenty of changes on every hole. It’s not as well taken care off as it should. Many tee boxes are bare, all bunkers need sand as currently they are like cement. Having rakes on the golf cart means players forget to bring them and won’t rake. Greens rolled well. Overall a true challenge for all golfers due to all holes being different. Worth playing for under $35.00.

Poorly maintained

This course has potential but clearly needs help. Very few rakes in bunkers despite very high number of sand traps. Most bunkers full of footprints and divots. Fairways and tee boxes with some bare areas. Greens were ok but slow. Pace of play very slow despite a nice ranger going by telling us he spoke with the slow groups to speed up. Nothing changed. Not sure why it has a 4 star rating but clearly not more than a 3 at this time.

Noce track, somewhat overrated

Very challenging course but the fairways are not all in good shape. Too many bare areas. Greens are fast and overall the course is very difficult. There are several trees that are either in the fairways or have large branches blocking shots. Bunkers were not well kept and not raked at all. Ok to play at a discounted rate but currently not worth the higher prices they charge.

Water everywhere

very challenging layout with water coming into play on all 18 holes. Requires precise shots to avoid penalties. A few areas of the fairways lacked grass but overall in good shape. Greens rolled true. A must play for any golfer. Recommend leaving ego behind and playing from forward tees.

Nice test of golf

Interesting layout which requires shot making skills. Certainly foolish to use driver on every par 4 as ball must be hit in proper spots to avoid penalties. Greens rolled true but were a bit slower than expected for a course of this caliber. Overall a very enjoyable round.

A Gem of a Course

Playing this course makes you feel like you are playing in a PGA event. Well manicured, well kept greens and very challenging for every type of golfer. The GPS system gives you accurate yardage to flag which helps speed up play. Courtesy range balls a nice touch. Very friendly starter added to the great experience. Clearly a course to play again.

Very challenging course

This course will challenge you from tee to green. No easy shots. Requires accuracy and length off the tee, precise iron approaches and superior putting skills due to the severely undulating greens. A real test of golf. Not for beginners. The slope rating is clearly wrong and it should be much higher. No way slope is 124 from blue tees.

Nice track, making a comeback

This has always been a fun place to play and management seems to be working on improving the conditions. There is still drainage problem in some holes like # 2. Also some bunkers need more sand and less weeds around edges. Overall, the course is playable and does play long and I would recommend for the price. Greens were rolling fast and true. Hopefully management will continue to work on improvements.
