Every time I decide to give this course another chance, it’s a miserable failure. The course’s drainage is abysmal. I live right by this course and know the amount of rain we’ve received is not equal to the SWAMP this course always is. Fairways were water logged. Greens were horrible. Looked as if every green was hit with a hammer 10,000 times. No one repairs ball marks including the “greenskeepers”. Huge patches of dirt all over every green. It’s like putting thru a mine field. I will NEVER play this course again. The prices they charge are highway robbery. So many other choices around town that beat this course 100 to 1.

Course was in very good shape. Definitely worth the money. Pace of play is usually a bit slow but not too bad. Pro shop staff is very accommodating and super nice. We had to leave the course on hole 5 because of an emergency and upon throwing our clubs in the car, the pro shop attendant came out to inquire why we were leaving. We told him and he immediately went in to issue us a rain check without us asking. Total class act. Thank you “Crash”! We will definitely be back to use that rain check.

Let me start by saying I am rooting for Eastwood because I have always loved the layout and it used to be a marquee course in East Orlando. But, the reality is that it’s just not in good shape. The greens are VERY good. You can tell they have spent a lot of time on them. Unfortunately, they have completely ignored the rest of the course. The fairways are decent but the rough is just ridiculously long and thick. There were many holes where ankle deep rough was right at the green. Literally, ankle deep rough and 1” further was the beginning of the green. Tee boxes were ok. Pace of play was outstanding because it was a ghost town. We played in 3 hrs. Sad to see only 5 carts lined up outside the clubhouse. Thank goodness the back 9 was a bit better because I was ready to call it quits after 3 holes. Eastwood should stop concentrating so much on greens and pay more attention to fairways and rough. There is more to a golf course than nice greens.

Anyone saying that Twin Rivers has improved 100% is delusional. The only thing that is marginally better are the greens and the traps. They are better than they used to be. The rest of the course is still awful. The fairways were torn up with huge wheel ruts everywhere. The course had lots of standing water everywhere. Yes, I know we’ve had a lot of rain but this is due to terrible drainage. The course just looks in disarray. I have stayed away from Twin Rivers for years because I have never had a good experience there. Today was no different. 5 1/2 hour round is inexcusable. I think I will scratch this one off my list again.

Rich in history but poor in everything else. I'll start by saying I understand this is an OLD course but the conditions are unplayable. They do not spend $1 on maintenance. The "fairways" were nothing but weeds. I almost lost 3 teeth fillings from the millions of potholes all along the cart path and the so called fairways. The gentleman in the clubhouse couldn't even bother to change the pin placement card that was 6" from him. I would not play this course again for free and if it was at the end of my street. Save your money. Anyone who says it is a value for the money is in denial.
