You got to be kidding me

What a joke of a course. No grass on the greens, no grass in the fairways; yet they charge full price. This course should be closed down and shame on Golf Now for not letting people know of the conditions.

Slow boat to China

The course is in very good shape except for the greens on 10 and 11, they need some work as weeds are growing and putting is an adventure. The group in front of us were very slow and the ranger did not push them along. The biggest issue is the bunkers; no sand and like hitting off concrete. Finally, this course has made an incredible comeback and is worth playing.

What happened to the greens?

This course was in sad shape the last few years and then made a 100% turnaround in the last few months and now it seems to be slipping back to bad shape. What happened to the greens? They were good the last few months and now they are in bad shape. Many weeds and bare spots turning up. Do they have a competent greenskeeper?

Terrible course

Greens were like putting on a sand bar, fairways have very little grass, overpriced for the condition of the course.

Overpriced

This course is overpriced for the conditions. Some temp tee boxes, rough in bad shape, fairways not much better, the greens were good.

What a surprise

I have not played this course for 2+ years just because it was in terrible condition.. I read a view reviews, which, were positive and thought I would play again. I was totally amazed at the turnaround on the course. The tee box were very good the fairways were nice and the greens were putable. The only negative was the bunkers; they need sand. I talked to a greenskeeper and he said they will be attacking this next. I am very pleased and will put this course back on the list to play.

Golf Now rip off

I paid full price for 18 holes $30, and the course was only playing 9 holes because of aireation on the front 9. Golf Now should have let people know you could only play nine and the charge accordingly. Shame on you Golf Now. This is becoming more and more common with Golf Now only looking for $ and saying FU to thier loyal customers.

Bunkers

The course was in good shape for the most part, but the bunkers were terrible. Most had little sand and the others were like hitting off concrete. Fix the bunkers and rating goes up.

Sandy greens

This is, by far, the worst course I have played in a long time. The greens were a sea of sand, the fairways and tee boxes were just plugged. How can golf now charge full price for this crap and not make any mention on the web page. Shame on you Golf Now. Don't play this course for a few weeks when you will see green on the greens.

Worthless

This course was very good at one time. It has gone down hill faster than any other local course. Let's start with the tee box; almost every hole had temp tee box hitting off the fairway. Let's look at the fairways; should there be grass on the fairways? Let's look at the greens; most greens have a disease and will soon be unplayable. Why do they not have any drinking water on the course? Why does management let this great course deteriorate to the point of almost not being playable? Why do they have the nerve to charge $50+ per round? What will happen when the Canadians and snow birds go north? I will tell you, no one will play this course for the price they charge.

Terrible conditions

The course is absolutely atrocious. Tee box terrible on every hole, fairways have very little grass, greens were sanded and 3 putts minimum today., the walking bridge on 15 was in very bad shape, I almost fell off into the water with gators below, I can not say anything positive about this course, save your money and play somewhere else.

Could be better

Tee boxes in very poor shape, they need to be over seeded and watered. Greens are starting to get weeds and need attention. They need a ranger out there to push the slow players; it took 5 hrs to play today. They need to have drinking water on the course. This course is charging top $ for a Tomoka Oaks look.

Slow play

I had to quit after 10 holes because of the pace of play. It took 3 hrs to play 10 holes. They need a ranger to push people along. They need to group players in 4somes. They also need racks in the bunkers and drinking water on the course.

No racks

The course has not been in this good of shape in 7 years. The fairways are good, the greens are good and the rough needs some work. The only complaint is that the bunkers have no rakes and if you are unfortunate to land in somebody's foot print is not ideal. I asked the person in the club house why there were no rakes and her answer amazed me. She said no rakes because the maint guys run over them and destroy them. My 1st thought was fire the imbeciles and hire competent people. I guess if this is the only bad thing it is worth playing this course for the price.

Grass on the fairways

I had not played this course in about 9 months because it had become a joke of a course. I was pleasantly surprised when I played yesterday. The fairways were green and cut. I did not lose 1 ball on the fairway as I did the last time. The greens were in good shape; looks like they got rid of the fungus. The rough is another story, dead grass, not cut and pretty scruffy looking. It seems the owners are making an attempt to bring the course back; hope they continue to work on the rough. The tee boxes for the most part were good. We had a 4:30 tee time and a sign said the pro shop closes at 4:30. We got there ant 4:31 and wanted to use the restrooms and the pro shop was locked; fortunately the associate came to the door and let us in. One other issue is that there is no drinking water on the course, they need to correct this. Even though there were minor issues I will be back as long as they continue to improve.

Missing holes

There were 3 holes closed because of the hurricanes and you had to go back and play 1-2-3 again. There should have been a price reduction and TeeOff should have made a mention of it before booking.

Sandbox

The greens were just sanded and you could not put. TeeOff should have had a message about this and reduced the cost. It was not worth $25 to put on a sandbox.

Disaster

Terrible course. Looks like it hasn’t been cut in weeks. When you lose a ball on the fairways, something is wrong. On # 7 my ball on the frindge of the green was buried. This course need some serious work. I will not pay or play here until they fix the conditions.
