Very Nice.

Class A facility. Perfect for visitors to Orlando. A+ Amenities. 2 very nice tracks. Greens are nice but a little slower than in summer conditions. Over-seeded tees, fairways and rough, sticky rye grass, thick around the greens, but consistent throughout the courses. The wind is always a factor on both of these courses and is rarely calm. Lots of long irons into a swirling breeze at large green complexes. These are PGA caliber courses, minus green speeds.

Pine Barrens

Played here on Sat 11/18 for $35 hot deal. Normal price is $69. Course in great shape. Greens slow....I mean slow. It's because of the overseeding. If they were running 8 I'd be surprised. When will they finally make this course world class and add Champions turf to the Pine Barrens greens like the Rolling Oaks. I've played here at least 4 times this year, and always, the Pine Barrens greens are slow or slower than the Rolling Oaks. You come to this facility expecting greatness and these greens on the PB are just not great. I love this place but with these greens on the PB, it ain't world class.

The Woods

The Barrens is ready for aerifcation. Needs it. Rolling Oaks is great! If they made the greens just a wee bit faster it would be perfect! Love this place!

One of the best in Florida

Always a treat to play World Woods! Great shape as always. Greens are running about 9.5 but are pretty true. Fairways and tees are very good! Pine Barrens is a test for all!

Crowds are Back

Played on Sunday 11/8 at 11:23. Had a $40 special. Course was good. Fairways and tee boxes nice. Greens nice but slower than I would have expected probably about a 9 on the stimp. Pace of play was not nice. Almost a 5 hour round. This place was booked up. Love this facility and will return.

Tough Track

A real test from the tips. Need to play it a couple times to score well. Couple tough carries off the tee. Conditions were excellent. Greens are plush but a little slow about 9. Little bit wet. Really nice layout by Ron Garl. Will play it again!

Jovita North

It's Lake Jovita North! You get what you expect. Conditions were very good. Fairways nice. Greens were nice and fast, not perfect, but give them a couple more weeks. Really close. Rough is thick and tough to find your ball. Hit it in the short stuff! A decent value at $40+. Range balls extra.

Love the "Ridge"

Great day at the Ridge. Fairways great. Tees good. Greens good, not great. Just a little slow about 9-9.5 stimp. Understandable after all the recent rain. Great value for $20.00. Staff excellent!!

Great Value

Played on Sunday 5/24 at 1:48. $12.00. Finished in 2:50 great pace. Course was in decent shape. Greens were decent little slow but not bad. No bare spots and rolled smooth. They are going to aerify soon. Fairways are decent, some weeds but overall not bad at all for the price. Good layout.

Way To Go Eaglebrooke!!

Played on Sunday 1/11. $50.00 at 11:54am. I used a Deal Caddy I bought in November for $25.00 so it was an excellent deal. Just FYI, I wrote a review of this course on 12/29. I had mentioned some hardpan bunkers in front of several greens, 8, 14 & 15. Guess what, they were perfect today. Thanks to the staff for the hard work. Course was in great shape with not one complaint today, I did shoot a 77 from the blues with a birdie on 18. 3 iron from 186 to 8 foot and sunk the putt. Happy Dance!!

Nice Course

Played on Sunday 12/28 at 12:18. $41.00 Free Range Balls. Course conditions:
Fairways: Excellent Plush Overseeded.
Greens: Above Average 11 on the stimp. Overseeded.
Tee Boxes: Above Average Overseeded Little Shaggy
Bunkers: Not so good, not bad, but some are really thin with a very hard base. Notably in front of green on 8, 14 and 15. They need more sand or a good deep raking. Don't recall them ever being this hard.
Layout: Above Average Wonderful course with no 2 holes the same.
We played the Blue Tees, supposedly 6690 yards, but seemed longer with no roll on most tee shots. The Blue Tee box on 15 is not for the shorter hitter, over 200 yd carry to fairway into the wind. I carried to the fairway, barely, only to have another shot over water from 220 yds. I was short with the 3 wood into the hardpan bunker in front of this green. Fortunately I knew how to play the shot but my buddy took 3 shots to get out thus blowing a decent round with an 8 on this hole. My other partner took a 6 on the Par 3 14th after taking 3 shots to get out of the hardpan bunker in front of the green.
Staff, Clubhouse and Pro Shop: Excellent Everyone was super.

Pine Barrens

Played on Sunday 11/16 at 11:30am. $39.00. Weather was perfect. Course conditions: Fairways: Good, overseeded Tees: Good, overseeded, a little bit shaggy but not bad. Greens: Good 9.5 on the Stimp I'd say, overseeding completed last month. The course is in overall great shape very green conditions. Get out there now because the snowbirds are headed south.

Almost Perfect

Played on Monday 5/26 at 2:17pm. $20.00 Great price. Played in 3 - 3.5 hrs. Course was in good shape. Fairways were very nice. Greens were slow. I've seen them in better shape, but they were okay enough not to ruin an otherwise wonderful round. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. Lovely faciility.

Definitely Worth the Ride

Tee'd off at 12:20 on Saturday. $29.00. Played in a little over 4 hours as a 3some. Course in good shape. Greens a little slow running about 8.5 but plenty of grass and fairly smooth. Fairways have good grass but if you miss a little the grass gets thin. Lots of big trees so you need to hit it fairly straight to score well. Quarry holes are very nice. If the greens were a little quicker and just a little more grass in the rough this would be a 5 star course for sure. The staff was very friendly, cart girl was right on time all day. We will return.

Greens Better Than Pine Barrens

Since they put in the new Champions Bermuda greens, they are much better than the Pine Barrens. No need for the overseed that tthey do on the PB. Hopefully they will someday upgrade the greens on the PB to the new Champions Bermuda. Course was in great shape, fairways were plush. Greens rolling about 10 and smooth. This place is golf heaven for me. For $42 you cannot beat it. Only complaint was the 50 degree weather, yeah I know, quit complaining.

Nice Track

I've played here many times. I've never been here when play was slow as we mostly play in the off season later in the day. They often have the 1:00 shotgun on a weekend. Most times we played, there was at most 8 - 10 groups on the entire course. The course is reasonably difficult with a couple tough par 3s. There are no water carries off the tees but a few sideways drives could find a hazard for sure. Greens are good not great, they have not been as good as they were a year or two ago. 10 on the stimp meter and they used to always be around 11+. Too much rain this year.
