Dried Out

Place is dried out. Greens are in really bad shape. It’s not worth more than 10-15 bucks. This used to be a nice course, but it’s in awful shape.

Great Course

Really enjoyed playing this course. We teed off right on time. Only had to wait for the first few holes and then pace sped way up. Whole course was in solid shape despite the rain we have gotten. Only downside is how far the course is from Orlando. Go play it, you won’t be disappointed

Great Course

Not my first time playing here, but it was my first time in quite some time. The course is in great shape and the green are very quick. Little patchy on the 12th green but other than that not to bad. The usual wear and tear from divot marks, but thats golf. Pace of play was average and the course wasn't all that busy. Defiantly worth playing. If you have never played there bring a few extra balls especially if you are a higher handicap.

Needs Work

Was expecting a longer round becuase of Labor day, but the course was absolutely packed. We had a 1 in front of us and a 2 behind us. We were told when we checked in (about thirty min early) that they were behind. They gave us a free bucked of balls to hit before we teed off. Front nine wen't pretty smooth, not a ton of waiting. Once we got to the back nine the two guys behind us jumped ahead of us and then the one some continued to play by himself. There were a solid 6 groups sitting on the the tenth tee. Fairways were very burnt out, looks like they quit watering all together. I used to really enjoy this course, but pace of play was AWFUL and fairways were burnt. Greens still rolled very nice. If you don't mind burnt fairways and 6+ hour rounds give it a try.

Potential but needs a lot of work.

Was excited to play here and it was my first time. The front nine was extremely slow as we were playing as three waiting on every hole behind two people. They would not speed up and there was no ranger. That being said they quit after nine holes and we still finished our round in three hours. The course is not in good condition. All the fairways are BURNT out as well as around the greens. The bunkers are normal and not in bad shape. The greens are burnt out in some spots but are average. I went into the club house to get some ice and water and there was none offered and the bar/restaurant was closed. Overall a bad experience and a burnt out course. Save your money there are tons of other courses in central Florida.

This course keeps you thinking!

Really cool course, it was my first time playing it. I enjoyed everything about the round except for the pace of play. The group that was two in front of us was very slow and caused the entire five or six groups to slow down. The course itself was in very good condition, greens were firm and somewhat fast. I enjoyed putting on them. Bunkers were in fantastic shape. If you have a chance to play don't hesitate to go there and play.

Tight Course

I played on Thursday (March 16). The course is in good shape. Some of the bunkers had a lot of rocks in them, but they were playable. The greens were very slow, if your used to fast greens you will struggle to adjust. I know I did. The course is a very tight course off they tee. I played from the back becuase it is not a long course. I play/practice here a good amount. I would recommend it to anyone. The round took just at five hours which is horrendous, but I think maybe I caught it on a bad day. Give it a shot if you've never played. Its a fun little course.

Shotmakers course

We booked the round as a two-some. Got to the course about 45 min early. They had a full booked tee sheet, but somehow got us out early. According to the cart person the greens were rolling around 11. They where. If your not a good putter you won't have a fun day. Saw a bald eagle on the course as well. This is a tough driving course, if it is your first time I'd say move up one tee just to make your day a little better. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!

Beautiful Course

If you haven't played here before, I'd recommend giving it a shot. The first time I played here we got rained out, and only finished nine holes. This time we finished all the holes. This is a golf course that demands shot making, and thinking. The greens were in wonderful condition and rolled quite nicely. The course in general was in top shape. Our round took around five and a half hours, that's the only downfall. That typically doesn't happen. Just was very slow that day. Don't let that stop you, the course is worth the wait.

Beautiful course

This course definitely lives up to the hype. Played it for a very reasonable price on Sunday. Pace of play was a little slow, but not unbearable. If you can't hit the ball straight off the tee you won't like this course. It's very narrow. Greens were tip top, fairways were also in great condition. If your in the Orlando area this should be on your list.

I had never played this course before, then ran across it on golf now. We played on St. Patrick day so the course was very full. But pace of play wasn't to bad. The course is tight, but the greens are receptive. I played from the tips, the only trouble I had was on a few of the par 3's. You will be hitting at least 180 yard shots from the tips. If your comfortable with that then play from there. Once it greens up, this course will be lush. Go play!

Great little course located in the heart of winter Park. My first time playing. I really enjoyed walking the course and seeing all the nice houses. This course is very short, and tight off the tee. Lots of long irons and 3 woods. Also the greens are very small, but they are quick. Sometimes there were patchy in spots. Overall this course was fun to play. I'd "go play"

This course blew my expectations out of the water. I previously lived in Chattanooga TN, and have played many mountain courses. I didn't expect much for a course so close to orlando, but it did not disappoint. Greens were in great condition, as well as the fairways. Being a mountain course I rated it somewhat challenging, because their are a lot of placement and blind shots. I would definitely recommend going and playing, you can even see downtown orlando on a sunny day. GO PLAY!

Makes you think

This is the first time I've played this course. Their are a number of bunkers scattered throughout this course. Being in the fairway is not a premium, but not being in pot bunkers is. The greens were like glass and very fast. This course is beautiful and I will definitely be back. Staff is courteous and very helpful. Go play!

Great Layout

This course is excellent. Very nice layout. Makes one think off the tee. If you hit it straight you will like this course. The greens are very receptive, but a little on the slow side. If that doesn't bother you then you will enjoy it.

The one huge negative was the pace of play, and rudeness of the locals. I was on the third hole and waiting for a five some in front of me. After several holes I asked if I could play through, they said their were two five somes in front of them and that I couldn't . I finally passed the first two (had to skip those holes) and continued my round. Caught up with the next group on the back nine.

I was stuck behind them for some time and finally had to ask the younger guys in that group if I could play through, they said go ahead. Hit the green in regulation, and the older gentlemen hit my ball with his club back to me and said just move on to the next hole. This was after I had been waiting on multiple holes. The next hole was a par five, and i'm a quick player, The old men hit into me while I was still on the hole.

If you don't mind dealing with people like this then go ahead and book a tee time. Its a shame I won't be going back because of them, because the course is beautiful.

Great Layout

This track has a great layout. The sand traps are in great condition. The greens are extremely slow and that was disappointing. Also they mow the rough and don't blow away the excess rough. I rely on my putting to boost my score, and the greens were so slow it really affected the rest of my game. If you don't have a problem with slow greens go check it out. The layout is great, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Played from the tips. Isn't to long other than some of the par threes. The holes go left to right, and right to left. Greens roll consistent and are in good condition. Sand traps are also in great condition. Very good for the money, and good overall.

This course has great greens.

Im not sure what kind of grass the greens have, but they are nice. They are fast and true, but also hold for good wedge shots. The sand around the greens is well maintained so it is easy to get the ball to stop. It is definitely difficult to two put if one doesn't have a good putting game because the greens are so quick. Overall the greens are almost the courses defense, but I would definitely recommend this course for someone who isn't a beginner.

Beautiful Scenery, Difficult Layout

This course has serious elevation changes, but the greens are very nice. Overall this course is well maintained. One definitely has to take into consideration the elevation change and choose clubs wisely. This course is difficult but the greens are very pure so if your a good putter you can still score well here.
