ChampionsGate Golf Club - International
Played On 03/26/2016Champions Gate International
First class facility and personnel from check in to checkout including valet parking. Very nice clubhouse and practice area. Course in good condition, not perfect but good none the less. Tees good, fairways and chipping areas good, slight roll didn't hurt, greens putted well, on the quick side but have the appearance that they are growing in. They did putt good though. Layout although links style has appearance of wide open fairways but they do pinch down. Greens smallish and narrow but long as other reviewer stated. I had to guess alot on the front nine since my GPS wasn't working but got a new cart for back helping for yardages to the pins. Nice course glad I had a chance to play it!
The Eagles Golf Club - Forest
Played On 03/20/2016The Eagles Lakes
Booked Forest but went out on lakes due to couples event booked right before my tee time at 2:43 PM. No issues going to other 18 the Lakes, paired up with other Golf Nowers for a nice round. Conditions good to above average for all facets of the course. Greens really rolled great. Layout good, but beat me up today since this course is about angles with many overhanging branches and water hazards, not to mention my poor driving today compounded my problems. Pleasure to play for the challenge.
Thanks for the great review, mcglynnjf! We're glad to hear that you had a fun and challenging round on our Lakes course. Hope to see you again soon!

Great course, wish I could play it twice a month, Conditions very good this time of the year almost pristine. Greens are great medium speed with subtle last foot break. Bunkers good condition, Struggled in for an 82, no birdies.

Course I play when in town and it's in good shape right now. Tees and fairways decent, bunkers appear to have new sand so not an easy out since the ball will plug. Greens are great right now, quick smooth and putt true. Played whites today and carded a good score.
Crystal River Golf Club
Played On 03/12/2016Crystal River GC
Appears course has changed name recently.. Mapquest directions and hole markers had it at 7 River Golf CC. Overall an average experience. Layout straight forward, except for 17 which is double dogleg par 5 that can be reached in two as long as you cut the corners both over trees. Conditions not to good at this time. Course is very dry and brown. Greens brownish, bumpy and appear not to be growing. They were relatively quick but did not roll good. Everyone I met was very nice. Scored well, OK course if your in the area but would not go out of your way to play right now.

Played On 03/06/2016Juliette Falls GC
I've been wanting to play this course for quite while and finally had the chance. First class facility in the middle of no-where FL. All personal were great, course layout great, practice facilities great, conditions so-so. Course was extremely dry and crusty in all areas. Greens were a big disappointment, dry, spotty, didn't roll true. Not disappointed in the facility and glad I played it. Great set of par 3's. Food looked good but didn't have a chance to eat.
Forest Hills Golf Club
Played On 02/24/2016Forest Hills GC
Enjoyed the round today since about only 10 REAL golfers were playing from noon to 3 PM when I left. Slightly windy today with 30 - 40 MPH wind gusts but it was sunny and warm in the afternoon. Morning rain drenched the course and was the wettest I've ever seen it. Cart path only, fairways mushy but you could find dry areas. Bunkers full of water where I lost my only ball on #7. Greens were very slow for their standards probably a 8 on the stimp which thew me off making multiple three putts. Hit a PW from 100 yards on #15 and it didn't even get halfway to the green, did I mention it was windy. Awesomet time shooting a 86.
Midland Valley Golf Club

Course has excellent layout with average conditions. Course I've played many times over the years, so understanding the layout is helpful. Conditions OK for winter except for the greens which are difficult to putt since they are pretty beat up. I don't want to knock the course but I hope they get better in the growing season but it won't stop me from playing there since the shots required from tee to green is where I need the most practice and for the price it can't be beat. Shot 78 with a few three putts.
Mount Vintage Golf Club - Chester Course
Played On 02/19/2016Mount Vintage GC
27 hole facility off the beaten path about 10 miles west of exit 5 from I-20 SC. When it opened it was a first class facility that had LPGA events for few years. Course has tapered off in the conditions arena since then but still a solid course for this area. Played Chester original front nine and Independent new nine. Its winter conditions and comparable to the other courses I play in the area, been wet and very windy these last few weeks adding to the fun factor. All three nines have a challenging layout that can frustrate and humble you when you don't hit a good drive to start a hole, many doglegs where you can easily add 30 - 40 yards to a hole or be in trouble, water, OB or in bunkers if you miss on the short side. That being said I only lost one ball mainly from my own stupidity trying to carry a water hazard Chester #9 par 5 with a 3 wood from the rough in a damp area, so the course is somewhat forgiving if you can force yourself to play smart and away from trouble which is abundant. Greens a little slower on the Chester nine vs the Independent nine. Bunkers consistent. Nice clubhouse. Hope to play again when it dries out.
University of Georgia Golf Course
Played On 01/31/2016UGA Golf Course
Wonderful layout. This is a can't miss course if you get a chance to play it. Has the length to challenge any game and the greens to keep you honest. Most holes have a wide open feel from the tee since the fairways are wide. Large greens guarded by semi deep bunkers with multiple levels on each green. Greens rolled smooth and quick with subtle breaks not easy too read. Every hole has elevation changes from tee to fairway and then to green. Nickname is Augusta National West and is well deserved. I've only walked AGS National from outside the ropes but there are many similarities in the course design and green complexes. Great par 3's, strong 400+ yard par 4's and get-able par 5's if you don't try and get greedy. Only gave conditions 4 stars since the grass dormant right now. I can only imagine how great this course is in the summer. Bunker sand was firm and consistent.
Mountain View at Callaway Gardens Resort
Played On 01/30/2016Callaway Gardens Mountain View
Course layout is challenging due to length, some over hanging tress and well guarded greens. Quite a few deep bunkers surround each green and some of the greens were on the small side. Tees in good condition, fairways in good condition and spacious. Greens rolled true and very quick for down hillers. Other than driving it crooked all day my main issue was chipping. Areas around the greens have very tight lies and are damp resulting in either fat duffs or thin runners. Great set of par 3's, two short and two long. Good score can be shot. Can't miss course, would like to play the other side someday it appears linksish from street view driving inn.
Thanks for the great review. We appreciate your taking the time to give a thorough statement. We hope you are able to play again soon.
Twin City Country Club
Played On 01/18/2016Twin City Country Club
Cold windy day so not too many players, I was able to literally breeze through the course in 2 hr's. Initial 11 holes OK, not to demanding but holes 12 - 18 are as good as any stretch of holes in recent memory including two great pars three's 12 and 15. Conditions were good to very good. Chipping areas around the greens were like carpet, ball set up nicely making chipping easy. Greens held approach shots and rolled well. I'd like to play it again when it gets warmer. Strangely a huge tree is directly in the middle of the 18th fairway roughly 200 yards from the back tee? Really no where to play a shot except directly at it, luckily my ball went through on the upper right hand side putting me in the middle of the fairway leaving a 190 yard uphill approach shot to a nice green. Recommend nice track.

Great course layout. Greens were on the quick side today and rolled fine. No brainer play if you have the chance.
Diamondback Golf Course
Played On 12/27/2015Diamondback GC
Decent layout, most holes slight doglegs, nice group of par 5's. I assume it will be cart path only for awhile. Conditions OK, fairways over seeded and very green presenting a good visual definition of the fairways and rough. Only issue was the course is so wet any ball with some height would plug. Lost two balls today one in the middle of the fairway and other just right of a green. Greens OK not fast but you did need to watch your speed on the down hillers. Good score of 77 with two doubles so a decent score is out there even with the wet conditions. Did get a face full of mud on a fat sand wedge. That was fun.
Midland Valley Golf Club

Course I've played many times over the years, some course knowledge goes along way here. Great layout, every hole is challenging in its own way, three great par threes except maybe 17 just a blah par three, all other holes are very nice. Number 12 reminds me of Augusta National #9, sweeping downhill dogleg left par 4 with an uphill approach to a tough green. Conditions are just average, tees good, fairways OK grass is dormant here now, greens have the appearance that they have been recently airated. They were somewhat bumpy with some rough patches and just OK, medium speed, was able to hole quite a few 5 footers so mixed review of them. Decent score today 78 with no birdies, Great layout, course has been here for many years so some wear and tear around the edges, worth playing for the shot value.
Bartram Trail Golf Club
Played On 12/18/2015Bartram Trail GC
Course condition good for this time of year. Course was wet today due to recent rains so it played a little slow, virtually no roll in the fairways which also made chipping difficult around the fringes. Greens showing a little wear but rolled great with final subtle breaks near the hole as the putts died. Didn't hit a bunker shot but they were mainly full of water when I looked at them, but are normally good. Minus the triple, double and a couple of three putts the 80 today fealt good.
Forest Hills Golf Club
Played On 12/15/2015Forest Hills GC
Great course with great winter conditions. Slightly wet making chipping difficult since some of the lies were tight and I short sided more than a few greens today. I would play this course twice a week if I could. Great greens not only their condition but their individual challenges.
Lake Presidential Golf Club
Played On 12/06/2015Lake Presidential GC
Great Golf course. Paired up with other Golfnowers for a great round. Course conditions very good from tees to green with some slight patchy areas in the fairways but nothing to complain about. Layout is tough but fair, interesting mix of holes, plenty of room off the tees, with a few forced carries. Greens on the medium to large size and rolled nicely, quick and true. Didn't hit a bunker shot but they framed the holes nicely and some very pretty deep around the greens. Great deal at the Golfnow rate and pace was good at 4:30 for a Sunday. Recommend.
Maryland National Golf Club
Played On 12/05/2015Maryland National
Great course, scenic layout. Paired up with other Golfnowers for a great round. Conditions very good. Tees good, fairways great, chipping areas no issues, bunkers hard and difficult to predict, greens good, rolled true and quick. Generous fairways and smallish greens on the front nine with just the opposite on the back nine. Fairways a little tighter but still generous and greens medium to large. Some nice par threes all playing down hill. Very nice facility, breakfast sandwich good. Recommend.
Crescent Oaks Country Club
Played On 11/08/2015Crescent Oaks CC
Course I've played quite a few times and is good as usual for the afternoon hot deal. Not very crowded today so I ate lunch and got out a little early as a single and played in 2.5. hours. Conditions good all around, a little scruffy around the edges not unusual from most courses where carts and foot traffic are high. Scored well today, front nine not too demanding, back nine is more difficult. Greens were good medium speed and rolled out some. Saw a Bald Eagle on the 17th hole pretty cool. Recommend.
Thanks for the review and great feedback about your time at the course!
