So many people put this course down. The people in the shop are always nice.
The fairways are less then great! Many are pretty bad but we just move our ball onto grass. We played Disney the week before and the Abbey greens are almost as good. Can't figure out how they do it. For the price it can't be beat. PS: I only have one arm and I HATE sand traps but I rarely go into one at the Abbey. Lastly the foliage is beautiful there this time of years!!!!! .

took 5 hours to play 11 par 3 & 7 par 4. Waited 15 to 20 minutes for every shot. On #3 there were 5 groups waiting to tee off. Nice staff but we will not go back!!!!!!!!! ever !!!!!!!

the course was in very good cond. But what really got us was the nice attitude of the staff, From beginning to end we felt welcomed there.
Truly one of our favorite places to eat and play.

I knew when I heard it was reopening ; the price had to go up. Without doubt my favorite layout of any course I have ever played. & I have played over 350 different courses. Since I am a duffer with 18 handicap , I personally was just as happy with the old Sanctuary Ridge for $30... YET I am 1 million % happy it has reopened even if I can only afford to play it once a winter. It's not a good course - it's not a great course. IT IS THE VERY BEST COURSE

From the moment we got there we were treated with kindness and fun. The lady behind the counter was the nicest we have ever encountered in the 181 different courses we have now played in central Fl. over the past 12 years.

certainly not the best course but one of the most fun for a hacker like me 85/90 # 9 I almost got a hole in one on a par 4. If you crest the hill on the left it will roll another 75 yards to the green. My ball was 7 inches away.

You play the same holes twice from different tee boxes. Greens better than usual but we have had a lot of rain for this time of year. Mgt never makes you feel welcomed.

Will definitely go back again as it seems the course is going to get better and better

We had a ball at this course. Wi de open so you could grip and rip. Greens were pretty good. The fairways and tee boxes are a work in progress. The place has a new owner and it seems he is determined to make this one of the best around. Changes don't happen over night. In the meantime it is totally playable and very enjoyable. We drove 66 miles from Lakeland to play it and we are sure to do it again.

under new ownership everything about this course is improving !!!! In a yr or two it will be one of the best around Well worth our drive from Lakeland

As a 6 month snowbird I like to play many different courses. I never planned that this course would be the one I played the most. WHAT CHANGED ? #1 the mgt. & staff treated me better than any other place I play; by a big degree. Then I found that most of the other golfers were down to earth people. The place and people are salubrious - even the neophyte types. Should I survive another Summer in Vermont, I will surely return to this local. Craig the general managed has a profundity about him that welcomes everyone. A good golf course is more than just fairways and greens.

We drove 90 miles from Lakeland to play here. It was our 169th different course we have played in the last 6 years. This one certainly ranks in the top ten. Tony at the desk was very helpful with a time problem we had. We loved the course !If it wasn't 90 miles we would play it often!

What this course lacks in quality is far made up for in friendliness. From the moment you arrive and meet the cart people and the starter YOU ARE WELCOMED !! ( Unlike many top notch courses that seem to say we really don't want you here. ) Then you go inside to the counter and every employee is happy to see you !!! Out on the fairways the maintance people smile to see you there. Sure the greens could be better but the management couldn't be. Even the fellow golfers are a friendly sort. All in all I LIKE IT .

greens are not good but the friendliness of the staff makes up for it !!!!! FUN PLACE TO PLACE UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR PERFECT GREENS
