A little pricy

Thought @ $99 it was a little pricy. But found the course in pretty good condition. Very playable. Greens very soft so anything that hit the green stayed (can we all just fix our ball marks - geez). Did find the greens as very slow which I don’t recall them being this slow in the past. Should be on your list to play.

Hate to say this …

Wow - hate to say this because I really like this course and staff but … I found this course in really really poor condition. Weeds tee thru and on green. Greens unputtable due to weeds that were longer than the grass - bumpy doesn’t describe. It is a fun layout. The challenge normally comes from hitting the greens with approach shots which is fun. Should have just stayed home or just gone to a practice range for the day.

Conditions

I have played there many many times. I love the layout. The current course conditions are poor. Normally the greens are pretty good, seeing some weeds. Fairways, tee boxes weeds. It has been much better in the past. Hopefully it makes progress.

Try It You Will Like It

I have always enjoyed the the times have played there. Will provide you a challenge with some length of several holes; course was in overall good shape; greens solid and roll very well.

Fun layout

I enjoy the course layout. Provides variety. Fairways a little sparse. I am guess the recent cold weather had taken its toll. Greens are fine.

Good last out

I have always enjoyed playing this course. It's fun challenging but doesn't best you up. Our pace of play was great being one of the first groups out so no problem there.

Great Place To Play

Played a number of times. The staff is great. The course is interesting and the ownership continues to make improvements and we will see more. Great value, the biggest issue they have is the 3rd green. It’s not in good shape and I am sure they will figure it out. Greens overall can be quick and roll pretty well. Greens have some size so there is a variety of pin placements. Course also drains well and holds up to some wet weather. I enjoy it, it’s fun and enjoyable place to play.

Great Layout

I think you will really enjoy this course (we played the Norh & South). Just outstanding, greens are challenging and hitting the greens with the approach shot is a must or you will be left some very difficult chip shots to get it up and down. Greens were just great smooth and quick.

Need To Play This One

Very good layout - variety of clubs needed. Greens were a little slow probably still recovering from the recent punching. I would encourage you to play this one if in Orlando.

Great Test - You Should Play

Had an early tee time - found the course in very good shape - tees, fairways and greens - great. Greens very smooth and very quick. Fairways are soft so maybe not as much roll you may be use to.. Greens are very large make sure you know were the pin is (it could be a club or two difference). This is a great layout and should be on your list to play.

Good Value - Getting Better

Had not played there in a few months. Course conditions are getting MUCH better. You can see the changes (some small) and the conditioning. Still need to figure out #2 (fairway) and #4 (just more looks than anything). Good value.

Good Place To Play

I would recommend putting this on your list of places to play in the Orlando area. Staff are nice and helpful. Nice layout (they had punched the greens in the last couple of weeks, but they are healing nicely). Good value, fun to play. Not overly long from the whites, but feel free to move back.

Improving Conditions

The ownership and staff efforts to bring this course back to higher standards is noticeable. It is a great layout and will provide multiple challenges. If the conditions continue it should be a stop on your tour of Orlando golf sites.

You Will Enjoy

This is fast becoming a favorite. As the other "upper end" courses in the Orlando area are declining this course is actually rising. Some elevation change - par 3's are strong, fun to play with challenges but it is not unfair in any way. Conditions are rapidly improving (greens especially #3 - it is 95% there). White tees can be a little short but when the wind comes up it will play longer or just go to the back tees which are playable as well (most back tees unless you can drive it 290+ and straight aren't really playable). Laid back just enjoy playing - $ is a very good value.

Nice Place

I have played there just a few times over the past six months. Its a good layout. The course was in pretty good condition considering that it is the middle of winter in the Orlando area. The first three greens looks like they have done some work on (not really and issue) the other greens are just fine. Pin placements on the greens are what can give this course its "teeth"; green complex's have some undulation and therefore some quickness. I think you would enjoy if you play.
