Good stuff

As good a greens set as you’ll get. Good pace of play 4:10 for a 1 pm tee. Not an easy golf course- water!! Good overall conditions compared to other higher priced courses

Convenience

Improvements since shut down: Fairway grass, bunkering, tees, GPS, staff.
Not: GREENS, increased greens fees , Still bare areas of rough.

Even though fees increased, it’s still lower than others. Average, but playable.

Improving

Course improvements since closed last spring/ summer. Tees and traps, much better additional tee markers added. Fairway turf better but still more needed. Greens surprisingly slow and a little bumpy. They’ve been good in the past.
Great staff, greens fees up but still moderate compared to other insane ones. I

EVERYTHING EXCEPT

Usual good pace of play, tees, fairways - except they have to get water on the greens. As hard as I’ve ever seen them. Pitches running way out. You can hear the landing.
I’m sure it will get better.

Around the Corner

Fairways, tees and rough conditions all top notch. Greens excellent. Range balls provided. Pace under 4 hours teeing off at 125 pm. Staff very accommodating
I can recommend the course at a hot deal or off peak season rate. Getting to the $$$$ rarified air.

Reliable

Always good condition for amount of play. Greens were a little slow. Good turf in fairways. No real problem with pace of play. Value is the average for SW Florida public course which as you know is getting stupid silly. I do recommend.

THE HIDDEN GEM

I absolutely lo……like the course a lot. Fair greens fee. Warm up practice area- separate putting and chipping greens. Driving range. 4 hour round. Good staff. Course conditions Very Good. GPS!
Good mix of challenging holes.
Somewhat off the main road and a little hard getting tee times but it’s a hidden gem.

Surprise

First time. Heard complaints about construction, mostly on back 9. Paleese - not distracting or loud. Get over it. Very good layout - love the greens. Stupid Pricey like all the others but it is what it is. I’d go back. I’m

The Grass

Nice layout. Good greens. Great staff. Tees need work. Here’s the problem: the fairway grass is sparse. Hardpan lies everywhere. Bare areas. Well hit drive finds mud on the ball - we’re not in rainy season?
Play here because it’s close and available. Wish the fairways were better

OKAY

Play here, it’s a short drive. Good layout and greens. Still soft - mudballs occasionally but no rain in weeks?
Tees need work.
Better than 2 years ago but it does need work

Good as usual

Course in very good condition for New Jersey in May. 12 minute starting time allowed for very good pace of play. Very little contact with anyone other than players in your group. Mindful of pandemic. Good job.

Grass On The Fairways!

You can tell there’s maintenance going on. A few courses in area have sparse fairways- good job here. Good course, good value.

Good bang for your buck

Good staff. Good greens. Wide fairways but a little bare in spots. Front nine LONG for seniors at 3300 yds from whites. Overall I like the course and greens fees are reasonable.

Good +

Staff is terrific. T times available. Pace of play always good- ranger took care of a new inexperienced group ahead. Tees well maintained. Good practice area and green. I’d rate the greens the best part of the course.
But... course isn’t eye opening- nothing really stands out Almost every drive I hit collects mud on the ball- not a rain issue. Fairway sparse.
I’ve played here quite a bit because of proximity and the efficiency of the staff.

I came in blind

Had never been here. Good staff. Professional. I was set up as a single with 3 Midwesterners. Terrific guys. REALLY liked this course. Wide landing areas, good tees and greens. Some water but not much in play. Good set of par threes. Putting AND chipping greens. Just a fun course. Coming back.

I’ll give a pass.

Look. I kind of like the course, but its built on a swamp. Heavy rains, uncut fairways, tee boxes, rough. But.... good greens. Friendly staff. I think I’ll wait for the dry out, but I’m afraid it might be a while. Really hard conditions to play in.

Thanks for taking time to review us on Golf Advisor, we appreciate your honesty. That said, we've had as much rainfall this first week of May as we usually see the whole month. We're working hard to keep the course in prime condition, and we hope you'll give us another chance soon.

Excellent course. Open front side, tighter and more framed on back 9. Very good greens. Would play again but..... tee time at noon was 15 minutes late (prob more late afternoon) and expect a round of about 4:45
