Wide fairways

Course has very generous fairways so easy to get your FIR stats padded. Greens are fair with minimal slope. Some water, but does not come into play that often. Staff are extremely courteous. Biggest detriment is the highway noise as the course is adjacent to I95. Will play again.

Wide fairways

The fairways are super wide thank heaven as the day was extremely windy. Winds 25 to 35 MPH. Was very thankful when the round was over as the constant wind wore this 75 year old completely out. Greens were in decent shape and there is some water, but it does not present a problem if one knows where it is. We have played this course several times in the past and quite enjoy it. Staff in the pro shop and maintenance area are extremely friendly.

Greatly improved

The course has improved dramatically in the three years since we last played it. The fairways have been over seeded with rye grass, making the fairways very playable. The greens were also in decent condition. Hole number 7 has some water issues but that is understandable with the amount of rain Florida has received this year. Proshozp was also friendly. Could use a Marshall and/or starter. Overall an enjoyable able experience and will play it again

Drought makes for fast fairways

This part of florida is in the midst of a drought. Fairways are fast and getting thin. Maintenance staff are doing a great job in keeping the course playable. Thanks to the staff

Wide fairways

Fairways are wide with no blind tee shots verforgiving do not let the water scare you as it only y comes into play on a few holes. A fairly easy design makes for good scoring. Course is well manicured but is drying out because of the drought florida us presently experiencing. Will play again soon

Keep coming back

We play this course at least once a week while in Florida and it has not disappointed Greens, fairways, and bunkers in very good condition. Some tee boxes a little chewed up but certainly acceptable. Cudos to the management for having the foresight to put money into this gem. As a golfer who recognizes good agronomy practices I appreciate the changes that have taken place over the past few years. Thanks

Drying out

Course I has dried out from the lack of any recent rain fairways and greens in fair condition .but roughs are getting quite sparse. I still hate all the blind shots. Always have to check to make sure one does not hit into the group in front. Not a bad course for the price

Best in area

We have played 6 coursss in the Rusty’s area and this is far far the best. Fairways and greens very good and a challenging layout. One has to plot your way around the course. Make sure you play the correct tees for your abutting or the water will wreak havoc on your score will play again soon

Wide fairways

If you can’t hit 12/14 fairways here you need a lesson. Very generous fairways make for nice approaches to the greens bunkers could use some Tec but overall a fun course to play

Dried out

Was quite hot the day we played and the course looked to be suffering - particularly the roughs. In some places no rough grass at all and the bunkers, which I found many, were in very poor condition. In bad need of some maintenance. The 18th hole also needs a bailout area to make it playable. A poorly deigned hole

Course is drying

Due to the recent heat wave these low budget facilities get very dried out. Roughs are really suffering but the greens re still relatively fair. Layout has too many blind holes for my liking as I partially sighted. Making blind shots difficult for me and my seeing partner played with two lovely ladies who made the day fun

Nice layout

Nice layout with generous fairway width. Greens and fairways were a little dried out on the day of our play but overall quite enjoyable. I believe temps reached mid 80’s. I personally hate blind holes and only two if I recall correctly. Will play again when in the area.

Greens were very smooth and a decent speed. First time playing the course so had a few directional problems. Could use some more signage. Fairways were decent but the rough was quite sparse. A lot of blind shots which made it somewhat difficult for first time players.
