Great shot maker course

Played while on vacation in Orlando. Great resort course in great shape. Not a long or wide course but easy to navigate and fair. Shotmaker course with plenty of water that comes in play. Beware of 18th hole, tough island green which looks pretty daunting when you step up to hit. I would highly recommend if your in the Orlando area.

Must must play near Orlando

This course is absolutely one of the best we’ve played. The staff went above and beyond with helpful info and insights to the course. Conditions were wonderful. We would highly suggest playing here to anyone. Restrooms and water were very well placed! Challenging but not stressful. Didn’t at any time feel pressure on pace of play. We will be back!!!

Great course

Very enjoyable course. Staff friendly and accommodating. My only down point is you could use more signs for where you’re going. And water in the course. Definitely would play this again.

Great Target oriented risk and reward course

this course is a pleasure to play as it is maintained perfectly

The course itself is very challenging and his target oriented with plenty of bunkers in strategic locations as well as water obstacles and forced carries

Leave the driver in the bag and work on strategy and risk and reward

I would highly recommend this course but bring extra golf balls especially for the island green

Great course great layout

I played this course on vacation to Saint Augustine and did not know what to expectupon arriving early the starter team to me up with two locals who had knowledge of the course and allowed me to get out early this was great and extremely helpful to me

My playing partners were Alex and Mike will play this course on a regular basis and explained to me that this course is forgiving yet challenging based on risk and reward

I was very pleased with the course as it is very well-maintained from Fairway to Green there is plenty of water obstacles and you can decide whether to risk a shot in the water or to make a better strategic decision

I would definitely go to the scores on my next trip to the area and would highly recommend it to others

Great course great layout

Played here on vacation this year. Great course to play if in Daytona area.

Friendly staff and great facility. Starter got us out right on time and pace of play was just perfect.

The course itself is in great condition and a pleasure to play. It is not an easy course by any means as the greens are all protected by bunkers and raised mounds. Water comes in play on almost every hole with several forced carries. The tees are set perfect especially for the ladies offering them a good chance to score.

What I absolutely Love about this course is that each hole is unique and has so much character. Risk and reward is the name of the game here Birdies can be had but a mistake can cost you

A blast to play and Friendly Staff. We will be back again !

Great experience

My girlfriend and I have been meaning to go here on one of our Daytona vacations and finally made it and we are so very glad we did !

From the moment we arrived every member of the Staff treated us like family and we felt very welcomed in this great facility. The starter pointed us out to the range and gave us ample time to warm up and Agreed to allow us out as a twosome instead of pairing us up as that made her nervous. That was very much appreciated and calmed my girlfriend down a bit.

As for the course itself (Jones) WOW

Amazing course conditions. Everything was perfect Greens, Fairways, Bunkers, etc. Great job to the grounds crew and staff for the best conditions I have ever seen !

If you golf this course for the first time the Fairways are wide with little trouble except for bunkers. Bring your sand wedge because there are bunkers everywhere and some are BIG.

We had great conversations with the Course Ranger a couple of times during our round in passing and he like the rest of the staff made us feel so welcome to be there.

Great facility, great staff, great course and conditions A Must Play

We will be back again and Thank You to the Staff for a wonderful experience.

A gem of Upstate New York

My girlfriend and I have been wanting to play here for a while but have not had a chance up until now,...and we are SO GLAD we went !

Right from the start when we arrived, the Staff was extremely friendly and helpful, which guaranteed we would definitely come back again. The facility is well maintained and everything is in great condition for the Fall season in Upstate New York. We were not pressured at all and was able to take our time and enjoy our day on the course.

The course itself is Fantastic. I am not a long driver anyway compared to most but even with that I learned quickly that the Driver is Not the best option on the majority of this course. With that being said, if your a guy who can drive a ball 300 plus yards, you may consider putting the cover on that one when you go here. This course is truly a thinking man's place, which favor's the Smart golfer who is willing to layup and use strategy instead of brute muscle.

There are plenty of challenging holes in store for you to include many dogleg's and dangers along the way. Like I stated above, you need to think on this course in order to be rewarded so precision is a must !

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking for a challenge or who simply want's to spend a day among the beauty of the Adirondack Mountains.

Must Go...Great place to play

Went here while on vacation in Daytona, could not have had a better time !

Staff was friendly and helpfull. We were off at our tee time with no issues at all. Facility was well kept and clearly marked. We were linked up with 2 nice Gentlemen to play a foresome which was a blast as they were terrific to hang out with during our time there.

The course itself is well designed and challenging, but playable even for high handicappers. If you like the challenge of plenty of bunkers and water hazzarrds on all borders then your in luck. We are from Upstate New York and are definately not used to amount of Water hazzards and sand bunkers found on this course, so this made the day very exciting, but like I said, a lot of fun. The course is also in a Golf Community, so it has residential homes all along the fairways, so that was kinda new to us as well.

The tees are well marked and the Fairways are in great shape and well maintained. As for the Greens, they are in fantastic shape, but hard to read, which made things challenging and fun.

If your visiting like we were on vacation and want to play a round of golf, I would highly recommend you go here, it's a must play in my book !

Play here if you get a chance

Went here on a Sunday afternoon recently, but we play here on a fairly regular basis, so we knew what to expect right off the bat.

The Staff is always friendly when we go here, which is one reason why we keep coming back. We even ran into the Course Pro at a local Restaurant, and he took the time to say hello and chat with us for a while.

As for the course itself, it is well kept and in great shape everytime we go. The Fairways are in perfect shape, and the Greens, although fast, are a blast to play on. Each hole is clearly marked and each one brings a new adventure for players of all abilities.

If you have never been here before, there are plenty of exciting challenges for you. Some holes have ponds to contend with, others have straight fairways but plenty of trouble to get into if your not carefull. There is a great mix of long holes, as well as short but challenging par 3's.

If you like a challenge, yet a very playable course for the weekend golfer, try this place out, you will NOT be disappointed.

Dont expect much here

Booked a Tee Time here on a Sunday afternoon as my Girlfriend and I had wanted to play this course, and the $10.00 price was a great value on GOLFNOW.

We did NOT expect much after reading the reviews,however, went with an open mind,....but has a Horrible Day here !

The Pro at the shop pointed us to the cashier which honored our GOLFNOW reservation, but stated we would be required to play as a foresome since GOLFNOW books foresome deals,....not what we had in mind, but fair enouph. The Staff was ok, but I would NOT call them friendly at all. At other facilities we had felt Welcomed, here we felt more like a bother to them,....perhaps thats a new sales technique I have not heard of ?

We did get our cart and were hooked up with the other GOLFNOW customers to start promply at our tee time. Luckily, the other two who we were matched up with, Dan and Tom, were great Gentlemen, which made for a good experience. We were Hurried onto the course in no time, which made us feel a bit rushed, but apparently thats the cycle.

Once on the course on the first hole, we noticed what appeared to be water splashing on the first green, nope, it was sand. It was soon clear that the greens were in bad shape to say the least. We noticed about half of the 18 greens are kinda, to really bad, and the others are nothing to brag about.

As for the course itself, it's not very memorable, just ok to be kind. The Tee's are bit confusing, as they are not all clearly marked and we spent a bit of time looking for which tee to hit off of. Perhaps some signs or markers should be posted to help people, hey just sayin !

We did find a Porta Potty near hole 6 or so, this was very clean, best part of the day as we soon discovered that there is a rule you must go directly from the 9th to 10th hole without stopping for a break, unless you consult the Course Pro for approval. I suppose I understand the general idea of this, to continue the ryhythm with no bottleneck, however, cant a guy use the restroom and grab a soda. ??? We were not planning on a four course meal, just a 10 minute break.

Along the way, we watched several carts come across our fairways, apparently on thier ways to other holes, or who knows, maybe Billy Joel was in town doing a concert ? Either way, it seemed kinda rude to have this happen, but Course Members have thier perks I suppose.

Now lets talk about being rushed on this course. Three times in the 18 holes I had a ball hit behind me while I was playing, some within 30 yards or so. Afer the second one, we confronted the member and asked why he did that, and where he came from, as there was no players behind us on the hole. We were told to speed it up, and he complained about the condition of the course and the Membership being down lately. Hey I'm no genious, but seems he answered that one.

As for positive aspects,.....The Porta Potty was clean and the friend's that we met, Dan and Tom were a pleasure to play with.

The GOLFNOW deal for this course is well worth it, just be warned, dont expect much.

Great time at this course

Booked a Tee Time here on GOLF NOW as my Girlfriend and I have been wanting to try this course all year,....well worth the price for chance to play at this course.

The facility is very well kept, and the Staff is very friendly and helpful. We especially appreciated the staff showing us to the practice green and answering any questions that we had.

The course itself is very challenging, yet a lot of fun to play, with challenges at every hole. There is a nice variety of long and short pars, but each and every hole on the course offers unique challenges to overcome, which was the most fun. The course itself allows you, the golfer to have to think as you may run into water, then elevated fairways, then streams, and so on.

The entire course is extremely well maintained and very nicely laid out by the staff. Some holes offer benches to watch others tee off, or just to look at the Amazing scenery.The design of the course, and the Beauty that it allows you to observe is, without a doubt, well worth the trip in itself.

A definate Must play

My girlfriend and I went here during the week as the GOLFNOW price for a teetime was hard to pass up. We were not let down by our day at this course !

The staff at the facility was very friendly with checking us in and giving us the course information and had us on the course in no time at all.

The facilities and grounds are very nice and include clearly marked directions and cart paths all along the course. Most if not all holes have flower gardens at the tee locations as well as some benches to observe the views of the fairways.

The course itself is extremely well maintained and in great shape. The Fairways and Greens are in perfect shape and offer challenges at every turn. The Greens specifically are a lot of fun to play on, and you WILL find them challenging with a lot of diferent layouts to be found.

What we found the best about this course was the layout of the entire course and the scenic views. The designer of this course took thier time to make a layout that was made specifically for Golfers, as it offers new challenges at every turn from the tee box to the green as well as Breathtaking views all along the way.

We will go back to play there again as soon as we can, and would highly recommend this facility to Golfers of all skill levels.

Great course to play

Booked this Tee time from GOLFNOW as it was a great value. As an intermediate Golfer this course was pretty challenging, yet a lot of fun to play.

The Staff was very friendly and helpfull and the Faciliities are well kept and well laid out. We did not try the Food so we cannot comment on that.

The course itself is extremely well cared for and a pleasure to play on. The Greens themselves are challenging with many different variations. The course offers a lot of scenic views as well as a nice variety of challenges along the course.

My Girlfriend and I would definately recommend this course to anyone who is looking for a new challenge or just a day to play and relax at a beautifull couse.
