As usual

I’ve played here many times, course is as good as I’ve seen it. Greens have been punched probably two three weeks ago and are recovering nicely except for one on the front nine. All areas well cared for, grasses were all well maintained , bunkers not as much as everything else but most of the most used ones are fine.

Nice iron course.

Staff was very friendly, course was pretty well cared for. The greens were slow but that goes with the Fl summers. The rough was pretty long but well cared for. Stay in the short grass and it plays well.

Nice little course

Pleasantly surprised at this little executive course. Greens rolled true and all areas where taken care or except for some bunkers but with the rains recently I can’t hold that against them. I will definitely play it again.

Diamond in the rough

Very nice course, greens, fairways were in great shape, bunkers were well cared for only problem I had was the rough although it was cut it was pretty high to get out of ( for me ) but if I would stay in fairway it wouldn’t affect the round.

Improvement every time

Nice little course. Even though the greens had been punched probably last week they are recovering nicely. Fairways are good and rough had been cut only thing they hadn’t gotten to was the bunkers. No problem for me because I know how much labor is involved with the aerification process.

Lack of grass

I’ve played here off and on for three years. I don’t remember the tee boxes and fairways in such bad shape. Greens are ok o bad spots but they are cutting high for the heat I guess so they are really slow. I only payed 22 dollars so it was worth that but I wouldn’t pay much more than that till they improve the tees ands fairways.

A little disappointed

Played here last year ( also during summer ) and although the greens are still some of the best I’ve putted on in this area, there seemed to be a lot of weeds this time around. Almost as if no pre emergents were put down early in year to prevent the weeds now present. Also had a few thin almost bare spots on a few fairways. I talked good about this course since the last time I played it but probably won’t after yesterdays round. Until I try it again. Staff was friendly and the beverage cart was around three or four times during the round, a big plus. I’ll definitely play it again just for the greens.

Very enjoyable

First time playing this course and I was impressed with the condition of all the playing surfaces.
Staff was very friendly and they have a good practice area. I will be going back now that I’ve seen the layout which has a lot of doglegs and some quirky holes. One of the best public courses I’ve played since moving here.

Good day at course

Man at counter did me a big favour by letting me play although I had missed my tee time by a whole day. Got my dates mixed up. Good greens and rough, the fairways were cut pretty tight or it just hadn’t grown up yet do to the dry conditions. Over all good value

Improving

Course was in pretty good shape. Fairways are really tightly cut , tee boxes are in need of some grass but greens were in good shape, no bad spots that I noticed. Man at the counter was awesome. Allowed me to play even though I had missed my tee time.

Improvement

Hadn’t played here since last year, repairs were going on then. Looks much better than last time but still has a few items to be addressed, fairways were pretty thin, and bunkers could use a little attention. Practice area was pretty good ( didn’t go on range though)

Putting Greens

This was the top of the line as far as putting surfaces go. They were the best I’ve played on since moving here two years ago. Rest of the course and practice area were so top notch. Nothing to complain about at this course.

Progress

Course is showing signs of improvement every time I go. Now that rainy season is over they are getting to the normal grass cutting routine. Even noticed the bunkers had some attention since I played last.

Bunkers

Course was pretty wet, but for the price it was ok. Bunkers need to be detailed and maintained, greens were ok for summer time greens in Fl. Tees were spotty. But fairways were in good shape considering all the rain lately.

Value

Course was not as nice as I remembered it from playing before the Covid crap. Ok for the $23 I paid but I wouldn’t pay $30. Greens weren’t very lush (although they rolled true) and fairways although pretty smooth had a good amount of weeds mixed in. And keep in mind you don’t come back to the clubhouse after front nine. But also no beverage cart out on course. Missing some good money by not having one.

Greens

The tees, fairways( expect one or two) and rough were fine. Greens however are no where near as good as they have been in the past. Last played end of March when they were really nice but since then they have gone downhill. They haven’t grown out of last aerification and being a former GCS I understand it’s not the time of year for them to be great down here, with that said it just looks like they have been neglected lately. But for the 20 rate early in the day I can’t complain too much.

Everything was pretty good at that price point. I would still like to see the greens faster but other than that no complaints..
