Deer Island Country Club
Played On 02/23/2023Great value in Central Florida
This is a very good golf course and a great value. But be warned: from the white tees it’s 6200+ yards, slope 139, course rating 71.3. There’s no shame in moving up a tee. The greens this week were not as fast as I’ve seen them in the past, but they were very playable….not slow, just slower than usual. Water on every hole, and lots of alligators. We saw a 12-14 footer on hole 7, and by the time we were on hole 11 the wildlife folks had an air boat on the pond to remove him. Mating season is almost here and he was a hazard. Staff is friendly and knowledgable. Clubhouse is small, home towny, but has full bar. Sandwiches served, but limited menu….no burgers, fries, etc.. The beverage cart was a bonus as no carryons are allowed.. This is not a beginners course, but choose the right tees and you will enjoy it. Bring an extra sleeve of balls. Course was full, but we still played in under 4 hours. I think it’s better than any course in The Villages and at ⅔ the price. Enjoy!
Wild Rock Golf Club - Wild Rock Championship Course
Played On 06/13/2016very special course
Wild Rock is a wonderful golf course, beautiful and challenging. It's crucial to play the right tee boxes. Even from whites, there are several forced carries that may be difficult. Greens are fair, and fun, with undulations that sometimes run counter to prevailing topography. Views from the highest elevations allow you to see far into the Wisconsin heartland. But two caveats: A can of beer will cost you $6, and if you accept the par 3 challenge (bet x amount and if on the green double that in pro shop credit) you will not be able to buy balls or markers...shirts, caps etc only. They don't tell you that on the course.
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Deer Island Country Club.
