Very Nice Course

I am going to be a little biased here because I had one of my best rounds ever. I always liked EC. It is wide open and no water in play until the last two holes. Course was in really good shape and the greens were smooth and fairly fast. Playing as a single, starter made sure I was paired with an appropriate group which is important to me. Too many courses don't really care and will send you out alone if the tee box is open. It was an enjoyable round. It is always a busy course so, don't expect a 3-hour round. You will take the whole 4 hours plus some.

OK Course

Played holiday afternoon and noone was on the course. Finished in less than 3 hours. Could have been faster but cart only went about 5mph. Strange. 6,000 yd white tees seemed shorter. A couple short par 4s and only one longer one. I think they moved some tees up without changing scorecard. Happens at a lot of courses it seems. Lots of water in play if you miss a shot. Greens were way too fast. Need to be watered or something. Not worth $60 this time of year but afternoon $45 rate is OK. Also, put the ball washers back out. The pandemic is over.

Mundane Link Course

This course reminds me of Harmony - course deteriorating and houses aren't even built yet. You would think the developer would have the course in Augusta National condition to attract homebuyers. Fairways were nice, green OK but rough was way to high. Lost a ball two feet off the green. Areas around greens and tee boxes were covered in weeds. High rough resulted in slow play looking for lost balls. Also, like Harmony, scorecards did not represent total yardage from different tees. Played the 6,000 yard white tees and it was more like 6,300. Starter said green tees were 5,700 yards but card said 5,300. How much does it cost to order new scorecards? Play was slow on a hot summer day and there is no shade anywhere to wait. Plant a few palm trees near the tee boxes.

Very Nice Course

Pleasantly surprised by this course. Read reviews prior to playing and wasn't expecting much. Don't believe some of the reviews. The course was in great condition considering the torrential rains the last two afternoons. Traps were wet and a couple holes were cart path only. Still the course was well maintained with perfect greens and weed free tee boxes. Playing the 5,500 yard tees avoids long carries over water on numerous tee shots. I hit the ball about 210 yards off the tee and 5,500 yard tees were driver/wedge on most par 4s. You need to hit it straight though. Excellent value with summer time prices.

Immaculate, Fun Course

This is a private course that allows some outside play during the summer month. Course was in immaculate condition. Greens, fairways and even the rough up to the OB lines were just immaculate. This is a shorter course with short but interesting holes and narrow fairways. Would be fun for short hitters from forward tees - no water carries.

Tricky course in beautiful condition

Short par 66 with 4 par 3s and a par 5 on each 9. Lots of water and short doglegs so you need to know the course and manage distances. First time out play the shorter tee boxes because there are some longer carries over water on par 3s. If you don't hit enough club on a par 3 most likely it will roll back into water. A decent 200 yard driver would only need to use driver on one or two holes. Course in great condition with perfect greens and tee boxes.

Nice Course

Nice layout for a links style course. Tree lined fairways. Tee boxes very sandy not much grass. Fairly tight fairways. Some shot placement needed, Longer par-3s. Course was not crowded at all. Driving range. Biggest complaint is there were enough signs to the next tee. Not always obvious where to go next.

Couse is just in poor condition

Our home course was having a tournament so we decided to try out this course again. Last year, it was in poor condition. This year the same. Greens are horrible. Tee boxes are all sand. Fairways are hard as a rock. Sand traps not cared for and few rakes. Scorecard yardage, tombstone yardages at tee boxes and reality are all different!! I had my own GPS so it didn't matter for me. Seems like par-4s were all the same yardage - 320-330 yards from the whites. Clearly, they are trying to make course easier for the average player.

Better than some of the reviews

Pleasantly surprised because some of the previous reviews were critical of the course conditions. Fairways were nice. Greens were nice but slow - need to be rolled. Rough was tall and you could easily loose a ball. Traps could use some sand. Very nice layout. Most holes were fairly easy but one par-3 on the back was really hard - water right and back, narrow green, trap left. Finished before 2pm but restaurant was already closed. Apparently, management was in transition so, condition should improve. We played the Oaks course.

OK for the Price

Wonderful setting and very scenic winding through houses and condos. I suspect it has seen better days but for the money it was a decent deal. The greens were very slow - hard to get used too. It rained the night before so the sand traps were washed out. The score cards were out of date because tee boxes were obviously moved up to make it easier. Score cards didn't even match the tombstones at the tees. No map of course on score card or description of hole at the tee box. Not everyone has GPS. Fairways were decent but the rough was thick enough to easily lose a ball. Lots of weeds in the rough and different types of grass around the greens. Overall fun to play. Saturday morning round took 4:45 to play. Fortunately, lots of shady areas to sit under while waiting to tee off!!

Nice Course

This is a very nice course and a great value with the GolfNow promotion. It is a unique setting meandering through the RV park and you are not back at the clubhouse after 9 holes. Greens are in great shape. From the white tees this course seems to play long even at 6,000 yards. There is a 436 yd par-4!! Lots of water in play if you are not inclined to hit fairways.

Hit the ball straight or else

A lot of people don't like this course but I do. Not as long from regular men's tees as other course sin the area. You have to hit your drives fairly straight or you are OB or in water. I happened to be pulling some of my drives that day and had 4 stroke and distance penalties!! Some easy par 3s but some very challenging holes with long, narrow carries over water or brush - 9th and 18th are especially hard but I happened to par those two holes that day. So, as is always the case, if you hit your shots, it is an enjoyable course. Very nice clubhouse and staff. Greens are going to be redone this spring.

Relaxing Day

Played on a Friday AM and was paired with another couple. A little hectic in the clubhouse - ladies league I think. We played the Lakes and Dolphin course. They must have played the River course because we never saw them again nor any other golfer in front or behind us!! Fairly easy course from the Senior tees but still 5,800 yards. Greens were a little slower but to my liking. It was a very relaxing round. The highlight was a large alligator lounging beside a pond in front of one of the greens. This is a municipal facility. Clubhouse was probably built in the 60s or 70s. Nice change of pace from the inland courses.

Nice Course, Good Price

I don't have anything bad to say about this course. Played Sat and Sub early AM. Plenty of golf carts and driving range next to first tee. Friendly staff. Greens fees were $15-25 less than Viera/Melbourne area courses playing at peak times. Tee shots need to be precise otherwise water comes into play on a couple of holes. Some waste areas also come into play. Hit my approach to the 12th green short, it hit the hard waste area in front and it bounces all the way over the green into the lake behind the green!! Better to hit the correct club!!. Beautiful clubhouse.
