Awesome as usual

As usual Venetian was in perfect shape. The fairways were lush and the greens were fast and true. The course has recently planted hundreds of trees around the course and it will only add to the already natural beauty that surrounds you. The staff is friendly and the starter Buckey is always there to get you going on time. If you get a chance to play this course don’t miss out.

The best in town

Pelican Point is truly a south Florida diamond. The course is always in pristine shape, the staff Bill, Travis and Brian are alway ready time help and serve you. The starters are friendly and never fail to get the groups out on time. I can’t say enough good about this course. It’s always perfect. Keep up the great work.

Great needs water

The course is in good shape but could use some water and mowed in places. As I live in Venice it’s summer and things can get either wet or dry at times I thought the course was good. Sawgrass as usual was a gem. Staff awesome carts sanitized after each use. Shot my best score ever. Will be back soon.

Another Covid Death

Two years ago this course was pretty good. Today it reopened due to the virus. The course was closed for about 2 months. Since that time it’s clear no one worked on the course. The greens are burnt and dry, the fairway was nonexistent and the rough was mowed but by a blind man. I’ll not return again until I hear that the condition has improved. For a course that was also closed all last summer for renovation they wasted or stole the money. Lot of better course around to play for much less money.

Perfection

My golf mates and myself have played Riverwood many times. As season is winding down in Florida we were able to afford playing recently. The course is totally perfect in every way. You could actually tee off and use your putter the rest of the way if you wanted to. Perfection is an understatement. The staff is as friendly as family. I will always come back all summer and recommend this course to anyone who asks. I would put it in my top 3 course.

Sahara

As we live here year round we play Bobcat often we were disappointed seeing the course conditions today. Many tee boxes are hard as cement and cannot put a tee in the ground. #15 tee box is totally dead and will need replanted this summer even after a fortune was out into the course last summer and the course was closed all summer long for renovations. Try a small portable pump and water it for goodness sakes.

Pristine Perfection

Riverwood is one of those courses that has no rival. Season in Florida is about to begin and many of the course are heavy into maintenance.
The course today was in perfect condition and so was the weather. The staff as always is friendly and the beer is cold.

The greens rolled true and the fairways were cut to perfection. I would recommend this course to anyone.
Myself and our guys will return as often as we can.

Bunker Breaks

This is my fourth time playing this course within a month . The course itself is in great condition . There easily has to be 50 or more bunkers on the course and most of them are unplayable. The edges are caving in and sand is gone. I wish somebody could help offer their services to help the course out. I do have a problem with the guy at the bartender who continues to tell people the kitchen is closed while serving others food from the kitchen. This guys is costing you money. Fire him. Still live the course and will continue to play it regardless of the minor issues.

Beware of Bunkers

This is our 1st time playing Heritage Harbor. The overall condition of the course is great. The bunkers are a total disaster. They should basically be deemed unplayable due to lack of sand and or water in most.

The course just needs a little TLC and it would be one of the premier courses in the area.

I will return and am playing Heritage again Saturday.

Wow!!

Play this course for the very first time the pace of play was fantastic the staff were extremely friendly the only issue I have is that there is no where to sit down inside in the air conditioning and have a cool adult beverage.

The course is extremely long for senior players and very difficult but in excellent condition I will definitely be returning .

A wet wonderland

My dad and I golf this past Saturday a day after a 3-4 inch rain. The course was what Kingsway calls “red li e” only.
The Ted line is very fair and did t cause my dad of 83 any problems. The fairways were soggy but in perfect condition. The greens as always were rolling true and fast.

The staff was awesome with the cart person handing out eucalyptus scented ice towels to stay cool and safe. Now that’s customer service. I am playing again Tuesday and will be back all summer as long as I can continue to play the awesome course.

Punched but perfect

We played the course right after the greens were punched and sanded yet we all had a great time. The course is in perfect condition. We will be back for sure. In fact we are going back Sunday.

Not a good day

I have played Heron Creek many times in the previous years and the course was perfect. This time we played the Marsh and Oaks courses. The Marsh course was being totally renovated as there were areas closed due to being seeded. This 9 holes of the 27 should not be open for play. There were many tomes your drives landed in the areas being repaired and it was just dirt or mud. Many bunkers need more sand or renovated. I won’t be returning for a few months due to the course conditions

A Wet Wonder

We played Misty the day after a torrential rain storm. The course was cart path only but that didn’t stop us from having a great round on a great course. The fairways were soggy but fair. The greens were perfect. If you missed your putt you blew it, don’t blame the green. Going back next week when it’s a bit dryer.

Wet yet a great day

The course Monday was cart path only and we started on 10. Sort of threw off my habits but as always the course was ready to play. KC in the pro shop was as friendly as ever and the lunch was perfect. The burgers are as good as any burger joint. The greens were rolling great as always and the fairways were accepting my aweful shots. Still scored an 88 and I will return again and again.

I would recommend the diamond in the rough for any level of golfer.

Steve3225516,

So great to see that we were able to deliver on the promise of a "resort experience for the day." The burger is GREAT - I would agree. AND I LOVE THE CLEVER DIAMOND N THE ROUGH FOR ANY LEVEL OF GOLFER COMMENT. SO TRUE!

You can always visit KC at Legacy Golf Club. He's doing a great job for us there now and we have a phenomenal staff at Serenoa who are eager to welcome you back anytime..

Best to you and enjoy more golf now that the weather is reminding us why we live (or visit) here.

Is it still possible

Our group has played Serenoa every Monday and Thursday since November 1 this course has only gotten better with play. The staff cannot be any more friendlier the free lunch and beer does not even seem possible .

The greens are always in great shape the fairway still are green and lush I still haven’t figured out how to play number five yet but hopefully before season ends I’ll have it mastered great job Serenoa, keep it up.

Say hi to Ron the starter and don’t forget to tip you cart girl and the restaurant staff. They keep the food coming and the beer pouring.

Better Then Most

As the busy season begins to wind down in southern west coast Florida I cannot believe our group found such an awesome course. Anyone who complains about the greens or fairways hasn't played much in southern Florida. The staff in the pro shop are the friendliest in town. They are always willing to help you with your golf swing or just listen to your stories.

The course is still in excellent condition considering we haven't had any significant rain for over 30 days. Sure there are some brown spots. But have you been to Bobby Jones recently?

The greens still roll true and the fairways are green and soft.

Keep up the great work Serenoa. We will return again and again.

My Day at Serenoa Golf Course.

Once again my friends and I played Serenoa Golf Course. The staff is excellent and most cooperative. The food is terrific, best cheeseburgers I've had in Florida. Golf carts are always in great shape and have never broken down after numerous rounds of golf. The course is in great condition and challenging for all levels of golfers. I love the course layout as all the holes are interesting and challenging. Great place to play golf
