SLOW PLAY

Slow play ruined the round. Beautiful to look at, but when you’re sitting and waiting on every shot the view gets old! They need to do something to speed up the pace of play here or it’s going to ruin the reputation.

Best Sebring Courses

Both courses at sun n lakes are the best courses in Sebring. Unfortunately, are also the most expensive. If you want to treat yourself, then this is where you need to go.

Don't waste you money

If you don't mind NOT playing on grass, then you might enjoy this course. No grass on the fairways, and the rough was unkept. The only redeeming value on this course was the greens, which were OK.
I would NOT suggest going here unless it is you only choice.

Value for the money

It's a shame that they eliminated 3 of the holes that used to exist at this golf course, however since they did lower the price, it is a good value for the green fee that they charge. Course was in good shape, pace of play was a bit slow, but we were able to finish in under 4.5 hours, so can't really complain.

Great Course, but consider Golf Now for Reservation

If you're anywhere near Sebring this facility (with 2 different 18 hole layouts, is where you need to play! The best in the area for miles. My only negative is that the course will NOT match Golfnow's rates, which I found to be more reasonable when a "hotdeal" is available. Otherwise, it still isn't over priced, however when you can save a few bucks booking on Golfnow, why not! Either way definitely 2 courses that you'll want to put on your Sebring area must play list!

Good Value

Finishing a round in under 4 hours is always something that I appreciate, and was able to accomplish this today. Course was a good value for the money! We’ll play it again.

Slow, Slow, Slow

Need to get some Marshall’s out on this course! Pace of play was horribly slow. Also, caliber of golfers on this course is subpar. Hit two balls down the middle of the fairway and by the time I got to my ball one of the zig zagging golfers from another tee had taken it!

Value for the Money

For the fee charged, it is a value. Though not in the "finest" condition, it warrants play because it is truly a value. You still have to play every shot and every putt. If you don't mind bumping your ball once or twice, or if you're one of those players who bumps your ball every time, then you will have no problem here.
I will certainly play this course again!

Great Value for the Money

A good layout, greens roll fast and true. Fairways are fair, but you're not paying top $$. It is a true value for the money. I WILL play here again, no doubt. If you value your golfing budget, and you're not playing with an unlimited budget, you'll find the place a reasonable choice!

A definite yes.

I'm not really one to write a review, unless a place is really bad. However, I felt obliged to write this five-star review for the golf course. I play here about once every two years, and I must say I've never had a problem with the golf course. I am a stickler for good greens, and was impressed with the way these rolled. I'm a member at Torrey Pines in San Diego so I really hold a golf course to high standards. If you play here I don't think you'll be disappointed. Some of the holes are a bit longer, even from the white tees, and it is a good challenge for golfers of all skills.
