Good for honing your game

Course is in fair - good condition considering that it is now peak season and is much used. Played with my kids who are now beginning and was enjoyable. Would recommend for this purpose and also for fine tuning your game.

Pleasantly surprised

Played this course during the summer and it was not in as good a condition as it is now! The greens are very much improve and dare to say roll fairly true.

Vastly Improved

The course is in very good condition - best in months if not years. The new clubhouse and facilities are excellent. Definitely a must play now as I'm sure that come fall/winter it will be sold out most days.

Good Beginners Course

Took my daughter and friends out as this was her first time on a full length course. Course needs work but adequate for beginners. Aeration and irrigation will go a long way. Course is heavily booked in the winter months so cannot understand why $$ are not re-invested. Fortunately for the owners not much competition available these days.

Very Busy

Good course in Coral Gables - Miami. Condition of course was good considering the number of rounds being played. I am NOT a proponent of allowing walkers and riders to play at the same time as it makes for extremely long rounds and wait times.

Worth a play

Course was/is in a reasonable condition . Some greens have patchy /bare spots. Would really recommend using GPS or some other mechanism to identify water as the layout on the scorecard is inadequate. The length from the Gold Tees is quite challenging

CW is getting better!

Have played this course for several years and they are finally getting the course in shape.The greens have been worked on over the past few months are now it appears that they are working on the fairways. They need to get a knowledgeable person to set the daily pin placements. I have mentioned it several times but have seen no improvement to date. Pins are all over the map.Pace of play is substandard as no one seems to send players on the allotted times.
Anxiously awaiting the opening of the new clubhouse.The design appears very good.

Very good option in Tamarac/Ft. Laderdale

Course is in good shape. Greens roll through. Very fast playing as times are spaced out. Carts are cleaned and parked ready at the bag drop area. Excellent bar and restaurant area. Definitely recommend

nice...nice

Great to get out after 7+ weeks of lock down! The course was in very good condition & greens were about a 9 on the stimp. There is a brand new clubhouse for all to enjoy with outside sitting areas. Definitely recommend.

Not too bad

Course is in good condition for an average daily fee course. Unfortunately the policy of allowing walkers and riders during the same time frame is absurd given that this is peak season and the course is pretty much fully booked!!

Given our current constraints- would recommend

Course has recently been opened due to our current Covaid19 constraints. Everyone is doing the best they can and this is applaudible . They unfortunately have raised the hole markers to compensate for social distancing and this causes some incorrect (assumed) downed putts. Just to get out to play is a plus so minor issues should be tolerated. Would recommend to play.

Good challenge

The course is in quite good shape. The greens are well kept and true and are at a good pace. Fairways are good. Given that we are close to the summer prices ,I would say that it is very good value for the money.

greens need work

Played this course several times Nov 2018-Feb2019 and the course was in good condition. Now it appears that minimal work is being done to the greens. The sprinklers were on when we were on some greens! Not impressed with the way things were today. Staff were friendly. Depending on price I would have reservations about recommending as rates will be coming down in the area by May 01.

Great Value-Vast Improvement

Played this course in June and was disappointed. Played on 8/22/19 and was very impressed with the amount of work done and currently being undertaken. Trees are being replanted, fairways are being updated/reseeded and the greens are true. Must have been an error sending us out in June. Would highly recommend to anyone regardless of handicap- just play the correct tees! Any issue just communicate with staff and they will get it taken care of.

Poor Management

Played Inverrary West - The sprinklers were on for 15 holes..!!! Called the pro shop 4 x and was assured that it would be taken care of ha! Saw the ranger on the 16th hole who said that the course was supposed to be closed and we were welcomed to play the East course . Called the GM several time but no return call. They are cutting trees and leaving it on the fairways!! Have played this course several times and it is generally in good condition but there seem somewhat of a lackadaisical approach now. The A/C in the restaurant has not been working for at least the past 8 months!!

Nice course to work on your short game

Played on an overcast day with rain expected, as such the course was fairly empty. The greens were recovering from being aerated hence putting was uneven. The course lacks signage to the holes. Not much of a challenge if you're straight off the tees. However it's nice to work on the short game. Played from the tips and found it ok. The cart girl and bag lad were friendly. The pro shop staff seemed indifferent. No one was on the course but they would not allow us out until 10 minutes before our tee time! Wouldn't pay much more than the GolfNow deal offered at $17 tax incl.

Lots of water

A fairly difficult course as water is in play on most holes. Depending on weather the wind is blowing it can become very difficult. Having played this course before I was disappointed in the condition of the greens. The snack bar at the turn is well-stocked and the upstairs bar has a great veranda overlooking the course. I found it cheesy having to pay for a cup of ice and tap water! Would definitely recommend depending on the price.

Challenging for all handicaps

I have played this course several times before so I knew the layout, however this was the first time that the greens were very fast! Unfortunately we were paired with 2 gentlemen who were very high handicappers so it was not very enjoyable and very slow. Would definitely recommend and play the tees suitable for your handicap!

A good course with a challenging design

The wind was gusting so it made the course tougher. The forecast was for stormy weather but we lucked out, The course is as good a condition as I've seen it - and it is being played a lot due to this being the busy season. Greens are about an 7-9 on the stimp meter. Fairways are in good shape. Worth a play to challenge most handicappers.
