My husband and I teed off at 8:07 paying for 18 holes through Golfnow.com. Staff was very friendly when we arrived. There was a women's group that went out earlier in the morning but unfortunately, they did not keep up with the pace of play. We were waiting 3-5 min. from holes 6-8. Holes 9 & 10 we waited 10 min. to tee up each hole. We decided not to wait to tee up on hole 10. Instead, we headed to the club house as it was not a fun time waiting in the heat. We asked a group of women that were waiting ahead of us on hole 10, where the clubhouse was. They apologized and all three had mentioned that they did not know why there was such a long hold up.
I went into the clubhouse and explained the situation to the gentleman at the desk. He shrugged his shoulders. We left but were extremely disappointed that he did not offer us a rain check to come back again and play the back nine which we did not even get to experience.
So, I hesitate to recommend this course to anyone. It's a very nice course but no consideration for our undesirable experience. Especially with so many other executive course around.

My husband and I love these courses. Every week you play different courses i.e.:2 out of the 3. Challenging yet fun as course is always in great shape.
Their pro shop is one of the finest in SW Fl. too. Friendly staff in the shop as well as starters and rangers.
We love these courses and will continue to go back again!

I only rated this course "Somewhat Challenging" do to the poor conditions of the greens. They had been aerated I would guess about a week ago. Still had the sand in the squares and limited grass for putting. Extremely bumpy!! Otherwise, I think this could be rated a "Moderate" course.
I would definitely come back and play again as I liked the layout very much with the narrow fairways.
The Pro Shop staff members were very friendly and loved the shirt I bought my husband. It was on sale to my surprise and great quality!
Try the Lion's Den for lunch. The food was superb and so was our waitress.
Give this course a chance for anyone that has played it while they are trying to improve it. The weather reeks havoc with any golf course. They are at least trying to improve the conditions. So kudos to them!!

Eleanor is always so friendly and accommodating.
We love playing this course for a change of pace as only has one par 5 and a couple of par 4's. Otherwise a challenging par 3 course.
Lots of fun and in pristine shape. I highly recommend this course for a change of pace. Sharpens your iron play for sure.

My husband and I love this course. It is somewhat challenging and excellent iron play. Dave and staff are always accommodating. We just wished we lived closer.
The food is awesome too if you can get your game in by 3:00.
Highly recommend this well manicured, and fun experience.

My husband and I played this course yesterday and found some holes really challenging. It's a beautiful course, well maintained with rolling hills. We enjoyed walking it.
Dave checked us in and was very pleasant.
We would highly recommend this course to walk. You miss the beauty of it in a cart we feel. :)
Don't forget to eat at Kevin's Restaurant next door. Awesome food and really nice staff!!

My husband and I will take the 45 min. ride to play this course as we just love it. It is a moderate to difficult par 3/4. The yardages are usually under 100 yds. for the par 3's.
A nice setting, Dave, the pro is great! The food is out of this world not to mention great prices!
You can NOT go wrong playing here then having lunch.

My husband and I loved this course. Small and quaint with a couple of challenges. Everyone in the clubhouse as well as golfers were very pleasant. We enjoyed this course that we will go back but only when the weather is nicer. We played with 15 mph winds and 38 degrees but sun was out.

This was a nice looking course but needs a ton of attention. The fairways were really hard! Needing lots of rain. You could actually hear your ball hit the fairway from 250 yards away. It would hit then take these crazy bounces do to the fact the grounds were so hard.
The hazards with tall grass looked like wheat. They were so dry!
The women's tee boxes you could barely stick your tee into as well. My wife has a handicap of 19. Mine is a 8.
I think if they watered this course, it would have played like a moderate course.
We might play it again after a rainy spell of like 2 mos.!
It's too bad as it could be a great enjoyable course to play. Invest in irrigations systems.

The pro shop staff was absolutely wonderful. Very accommodating and friendly. However, the greens were filled with weeds. Very, very bumpy and could not putt whatsoever. The fringe was lumpy and bumpy and sandy with no grass, no fluff. This is the reason we felt the value for what we paid was way over priced.
The food was excellent. Waitress nice. We would have given it a 5* had the greens been better maintained as well as the fringe.
