Nice course. Clubhouse staff seemed to be on a power trip

I booked a 10:30 hotdeal on a Thursday. We got there 30 minutes early and checked in and asked if we might be able to get out early and we were told no as it was part of the early bird deal and we would be paired up with the other twosome who booked the hot deal. So we sat for 30 minutes with no one teeing off. It did not make any sense other than they wanted to punish us for booking a cheaper tee time.

The course is a nice layout and the greens are quick. We are here on vacation and would play the course again but hope someone else is working in the clubhouse.

Course is getting better... staff not so much

My my complaint is that the staff charges you tax on top of what Golf Now indicates you pay at the course. I book quite a few rounds on Golf Now and The Ponds is the only one to do that.

The course does have some hole that demand accuracy. In particular #1 on the Red course with a small green and water all around. There are a few tee boxes that are pretty beat up but in general the course is in very good shape.

It is a lot more crowded this year as a lot of folks too advantage of the great deal on 1st time season passes. But with 3 nine you can get on most days. Sometimes you get extra groups stuck in before you on your second nine so they may want to work on that as well

Green everywhere

We played in a 30+mph wind on a cool but sunny day. This is a very nice course and very green. Nice clubhouse and a friendly starter got us off to a good start. The course played much harder due to the wind but it was fair. Good tee boxes and fairways. The greens had just been airiated a had sand on them but still ran true.

We will be back hopefully on a less windy day

Nice course reasonable price

Real fun course. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are in great shape. Some of the traps near the green are deep so stay out. The Golfnow rate is great and a solid value for the level of the course

Bring your A game and wind pants

The course is very scenic and the conditions were excellent. Better hit straight or bring lots of balls. Very few parallel fairway mostly desert surroundings. More houses on the back than front.

Limited food and no beverage cart on the day we played.

It was very windy when we played which was a challenge but for sure we would play again

Fun course they are working on the conditions

We had an 11:30 tee time but were esrly and they easily got us out early as there were few people playing. The starter was very nice and tolf us that a new management company has taken over and are working on improving the conditions.

The fairways have a few weeds and the greens need some work but the course is very playable. The layout is an out and back with some interesting holes.

Golf Now had a rate of 20 with cart which is very fair.

We will be back when we come to Florida in January.

Great Value

Staff very friendly we were early and got us right out. The couse has 3 nines and we played A and B. The fairways are narrow so best hit straight. Some water but not much for Florida..no houses on the course which is nice. Now the fairways are not pristine and the greens are small and need some work but certainly playable.

For we paid I felt we got a great deal.

Nice Course at a Great Price

My wife and I for the Hot deals rate of $14 on Sunday Aug 11. We arrive about 20 minutes early and got out right away. The course in moderatley hilly with lots of trees. The tee boxes are in OK shape and the fairways and greens are in great shape. The fairways do have a few bare spots and a weed here and there but not bad. Most of the greens are elevated and they are fast making for some tricky putts.

A creek runs through the course and you have to cross it a number of times (I managed to find it a few times). Two holes run right next to the Rum River which is very scenic.

The course is not real long but it does give you a fair test of your skills.We will play again!

good conditions for the way sping has been

Greens, tee boxes and fairways were in very good shape for the way the spring has been. The greens were quite fast an rolked smooth. We got out at 12:30 and got our round in 3 hours. We only had to wait on the last 3 holes and had no one directly behind us. A fun round at a good price thanks to Golf Now

Fun round of golf

My wife and I played on Friday 1/10. The course was crowded but we still managed to play in 4 1/4 hours. The greens and fairways are in great shape. Lots of traps filled with soft sand and water on a few holes. The forward tees do not give a huge break but still very playable for shorter hitters.

Bag drop, clubhouse, practice area and starter all were great. We had a great time....At full price the course is a bit spendy but you get a much better price on Golf Now.

Enjoyable round on a great course

We booked a 12:27 tee time to get the afternoon discount. The course is a bit spendy but decent value. They have a temporary club drop and clubhouse while they finishing the remodel of the permanent one. Less selection of merch now but the remodel is supposed to be done soon.

The starter got us out 20 minutes early and as a twosome. We followed a single and has a foursome behind us. After a couple holes it seemed we had the course to ourselves. The course is fairly wide but there is plenty of sand to grab errant shots. My wife plays the forward tees and they are very well placed. I played the white (middle of the 5 sets) and they were very fair with only a couple forced carries. If you hit it straight you will be fine...my slice was full on and I did lose a couple balls into the water.

All-in-all well worth the drive from Orlando.

Great course and better value

Almost all you need to say is weekday greens fees $30..and booking on Golf Now you get free range balls. The course has 3 nice with the white and blue being fairly wide and open and the red being a little tighter. We played white - blue and the fairways and greens were in great shape.

Just a quick drive from Orlando and well worth it

Fun course but it needs some work..

First off it is a great value when you book on Golf Now. My wife and I play here every year during our golf vacation. We notied this year that the course is in worse shape this year.. Some fairways are a bit sparse as are a couple greens. Still fun to play. Water on a few holes but no huge forced carries. We will play again let just hope they do some work on the course

Nice change from the flat land courses

Green Valley is a nice change from the normal Florida flat land courses. The fairways are not lush and green..but there are no bare spots and are well maintained... Te greens are in great shape and run smooth...but not too fast.

You start out with back to back par 5's with #2 playing up hill.

It is a fun course at a reasonable price <$30.

Nice layout but needs some attention

I booked a great on Golf Now. I got there a bit early and got out as a single right away. The course has a nice layout but I noticed that the grass needed to grow out. It was not a problem but seemed sparse. I was later told that the course was closed last year due to watering violations during the 2011 drought.

I did enjoy the course

Wide open spaces

Had a midday tee time and thought I would be a quick round... not the case. We moved along but it did end up being a 5 hour round. Played as a single but got paired up with some nice folks.

The course is link style so it would be tough if the wind decided to blow. It was a fun course without any real tricks. GolfNow had a great price ans it was well work the price.

Conditions were what would be expected at a muni course not bad but not great.

I will certainly play again

Great layout needs some maintenance

Nice course but they need to do some work Sand space in some traps and your could see the weed stop fabric. Sand bottles on the cart empty. It was just the little details. Greens fee not a good deal at full price but on golfnow a good value.

I will play again but not at full price

Sad to see the conditions

This course is so close to downtown Austin it is sad to see the conditions. There is a move to close the course and redevelop the area.... one would guess high end housing. Big loss in my opinion. The course is a fun layout with a number of challenging holes.

It would be a shame to lose this course
