Nice course layout with lovely greens but would benefit from bigger budget for course maintenance and presentation. Food was expensive and unimpressive.

This course has a great layout. Several of the par 4s are short, and playing off the yellows, it was important to play for position for the second shot. The greens were in good condition, the ball rolling nicely. Large greens left some very long putts! Plenty of water to avoid, and plenty of wildlife to distract you. A few bunkers were flooded or bare. I look forward to playing the course in summer conditions.

We tee'd off as a 2 ball, but joined up with the 2 ball ahead of us, as we were waiting on each tee from the start. Things did not improve, and the course manager actually came out to the 18th tee to apologise. He said that their were a group playing as two 4 balls that had slowed everyone up. I think a course of this status should actively encourage players to speed up if they are behind (a very generous) a 4.5 hour pace.

This spoilt the whole round for us. The course had a nice layout, but not as good as nearby Grand Cypress, and did not justify it very high green fee price.

Location of the club house seems to have been an afterthought as it provides no views of the golf course. And the course layout offers no opportunity to start on the back 9.

We were offered no compensation.

Excellent course, nicely matured. Lots of water but enough room to avoid unless you are tempted to take a lot of risk. Greens were very fast. South 9 holes particularly pretty. The building site area kind of ruins the view on a few holes.
