The title is kind of the review! Course was fine but crowded...moved pretty well considering.
Enjoyed the round but not the time involved in walking!!!

Fun First...

Han not played the course before so we didn't know what to expect but we were happy with what we found!
Nice course with friendly and helpful staff...challenging but not crazy layout...reasonably well maintained but sadly way too many golfers who are too thoughtless or lazy to fix their ball marks on the greens!!! They were soft and receptive but also easily damaged by incoming balls. So I spent too much time fixing other golfers ball marks!!!
Other than that and the wind we had a great round!

Obviously Not at it's Best!!!

The course was in poor condition as are the properties around most of the course. Lots of rain has not helped the badly deteriorating cart paths. The course doesn't seem to have very good drainage and because of that the rough was so shaggy that you could lose a ball six inches off the fairway. It was cart paths only for the same reason and I would probably never play the course again. The fairways and greens were ok but both needed some attention that it seems they had not gotten for too long.

Great Fathers Day Afternoon!!!

Joined up with three other guys I didn't know to have a very enjoyable round of golf and enjoying a beautiful day on a scenic golf course. Shot a good score and ended up with far more balls than I lost!! Saw turkeys twice and also deer twice during the afternoon outing!!
Highly recommend both Eagles courses!!!

Enjoyable Round...

Although the course was busy and the weather a little windy we had a good 5 hour round and enjoyable time!!!
Course was very nice in some areas and a little rough and worn in others but overall the conditions were acceptable especially under current conditions!

Love Having the Whole Course to Ourselves!!!

Rain in the morning but not enough to warrant cart restrictions... Overcast and cool day which is great here in Florida! Had a few light sprinkles but no real weather problems and the course played great! Well maintained and not crowded in the least!
Fast and fun round!!!!!

First Rain in 96 Days

It was so nice to have a cool breezy day with a little sprinkle of rain periodically. Tee off time was late in the morning and the course wasn't crowded at all. Fairways were fine and the greens were good but a little slow. Enjoyed the round though.

Too Many Doubles!

I was hoping for the 70's but had to settle for the 80's!
Had a lot of fun and didn't loose any money but I didn't make much either! Course played fairly if you kept it in the fairway but if not ... as usual there were some challenges! Birdies...yes, pars... yes, but too many bogey's and double bogey's! worth the time and money...nice new carts and some new range balls too!!!

About the Same as it was 10 Years Ago!

Course hasn't changed much over the years...maybe a bit worse maintained but not bad. I haven't played this course in many years but I used to play it a lot. Good round with reasonable pace of play.

We Had a Good Time...

I think that this is a nice course to go out and play a round on or to play regularly if you are living in that area but it isn't worth the drive when you are coming from as far away as we did. The course is not as nicely maintained as it used to be and the greens were very slow and because of that didn't break very much or as much as you would think that they should. The cart path was very much in need of maintenance and was quite rough...kind of made you want to drive on the grass! The back 9 really slowed down a lot with all of the par 3's which was not so great but to be expected, I guess.
Birdies and pars were not to hard to get here even though we were playing from the tips. Generally not too bad though...we had fun!!!

The Course Got Scalped But I Had Fun!

Hard to write this review but since I was not warned in advance that the course had been and was being scalped with some fairways still covered with trimmings I have to say that it was a bit frustrating at times!!! The course was hard...dry and fast and the greens were about as hard and fast as they could be which made the very undulating greens quite challenging and difficult! Pace of play was a lot slower than it should have been and the course policy of not letting you take your to the practice area was also a little inconvenient and weird for a higher end course???
Too many 3 putts because of the condition of the greens but we got to see a lot of aircraft flying over!!!

Cool Day in October!

Rained in the morning but it cleared up and ended up being a nice day except for the wind on the back nine!
Course played fine and the greens were pretty good...the cups were over due to be relocated but they were ok!
