Great course and friendly staff

First time playing golf in the area and had a great time. Staff were friendly and the course was in excellent condition. The layout wasn’t too challenging but still fun. Would recommend to anyone looking to get in a fun round.

Soggy but still fun.

It poured buckets right when I got there, but within 30 minutes had lighten up to a playable drizzle and completely stopped 1hr latter. So the course was a little soggy but still had a great time. The greens were super tiny so accurate irons were needed to get a GIR.

Good challenging course.

I find Wentworth is in my normal rotation if courses I usually play. Challenging enough, good layout, and some quirks to make it interesting. Plus staff is always very friendly, even to us “Non-members.”

Great value

Lansbrook is a nice course. Condition are good, some of the fairways are narrow, but what i like the most is the undulation greens, they make you actually work for your putts. Would recommend.

Great value for a challenging course

One of the best courses in the area, Waterlefe is always in great shape, a good challenge for the better golfers, and for the price you really can’t beat it. Definitely would recommend for anyone who enjoys a good golf course.

Worth playing again

Couple of years ago (before the new owners took over) this course had become unplayable. Greens completely destroyed and hardpan all over. Because of this I swore off cove cay a few years ago. But due to how close it is, the layout which is challenging, and a good price I gave it another chance and was happy to see this place is back in good condition. Greens have come back and fairways and rough are filled in again. Now expect Augusta type conditions, but for anyone who remembers how bad it got, thoes days are over.

Nice quick round.

played as a single and once I was allowed to play through on the 2nd tee by a friendly group had a open course to play at my speed. Finished in 3 hrs. Course was in great condition and was a fun course to play on. Some of the par 4's were a little too narrow with houses on each side, but overall the right amount of balance between fun and challenging.

Enjoyable Donald Ross course.

Having not swung a club in a few weeks, this course was perfect for me. Wide fairways and open spaces prevented me from having to hunt through mangroves and heavily wooded forest preserves to find my ball (and I had my share of bad shots) Took all of 3 hours to play 18 which I always appreciate, even with some rain slowing me down on the back 9. Pro shop guy was friendly and worked fast. Would love to play again soon.

Good local course

Finally was able to get golfnow to accept my reservation for East bay and do I wish I had tried harder to get a tee time before. course was fun but not too challenging. Greens and bunkers were in good condition. And even though there were plenty of people on the course (saw a lot of singles) it only took 2.5 hours to play. Having just moved to area this will be a convenient course for me to go to again and again. Staff was friendly and helpful. Do appreciate having a driving range also.

great course to avoid the crowds.

Trying to avoid the crowds this time of year so spent a little more then my normal cheap courses to play here and was it worth it. Course was pretty open and besides one foursome I had to pass up, had no issues with slow play. In the end finished in just over 3 hours. Course was nice and green all over. I usually didn't go for this course as it was a little far for me but if I can avoid the crowds the next few month here I will again.

great value at a good course.

Had a good time at Lansbrooks, There was warnings about the possibility of being out of golf carts but got paired up with Jim who had a cart already. We got worried as an elderly two-some cut in front of us on the 1st tee, but Jim got the starter to talk to them to at least see if they would join us to make a foursome since the course was pretty crowded. they refused so I asked the starter would at least let us go ahead. The starter agreed and made them let us go first. the course was in okay condition. nothing to brag about but really nothing to complain about at all. A good public course to play. the layout make the round fun but nothing too challenging. Jim was a great guy to play with and even though the round took about 4.5 hours I enjoyed the round. For the value it's worth going to.

Great course close to home

every now and then Bardmoor deals show up on golfnow.com and finally decided to play it since its 15 minutes away. Had a great time. The course was in excellent condition and even with some people on the course still got through in 3.5 hours. If I see another deal pop up I will definitely pick it up.

don't skip this excellent course.

Most reviews put the Pine Barren course at world woods as the higher ranked course. But Rolling Oaks is just as enjoyable. the fairways might be larger and easyier to handle, but the greens are very challanging and require setting up your approach shots to score well. The undulations make putting more then just an afterthough and if your not careful, you might be 3 putting often. I think for a compeititve round the rolling oaks is the course to play.

Creative design makes for fun round.

Don't drive up to Lutz often but a good deal on golf now sent me there and I'm glad I went. Course was open and headed out as soon as I got there. But what made this such a fun day was the course design. This isn't the typical strait, flat and narrow fairway course but had turns and carries along with some elevation changed that made it unique compared to most courses in the area. Loved the par 3 thriteenth hole where from the back tee you had to hit the ball through a narrow clearing of trees to a blind green. Can't tell you how exciting it was driving through the preserve to find out my ball made it to the green. The stratagy needed on this course will definately bring me back.

great deal, and pace of play great.

Usually this time of the year for golf is rough for us locals. usually the snowbirds fill up the courses so prices are high, and pace of play is very slow. But Northdale was a great deal and only took just over 4 hrs to play. This was such a great deal I went and played the course again the next week and had another great day. Very much worth the price.

most enjoyable course I have ever played.

There is a reason this is a top 100 golf course in the US. Great layout that makes you choose different ways to play course, excellent condition. and undulating greens that make your putts roll all over the place. Plus the views of each hole are a memory in themselves. Some daunting, some beautiful, others just make you wonder how they could have ever come to be. This is a must play for any golfer and at the price right now, you have to take advantage.

Last minute deal worth the price.

Grabbed a last minute deal on golf now and was well worth it. The course was in great shape for this time of year. Greens rolled true and even though the weather was hot, course still had a number of groups out there. The course was fun, but not too lengthy. Friendly staff.

play a bunch of Jack Nicklaus holes without traveling the world.

I had a great time at Bears Best Atlanta during a recent trip. It was cool to check out each hole to see where the original hole was. Loved the 6 hole (original 12 hole at Muirfield villege). I don't think it's a course I would visit often as it is a little costly, but for a one time visit, well worth it. Staff was very friendly took care of you.

Great value for good length course.

Got to finally try new course that just came on golfnow a few months ago. Paid only $11 and was worth the value (with cart). Good length course (6329 from back tee's). Had enough of a challenge with water, tree's and some doglegs to make you think, but nothing the average player can't handle. Did catch a few slow groups, but they were quick to let the single's play through. The greens look like they had been aerated recently so the putts were pretty bumpy. Hopefully with the recent storms this will improve soon. For the price a great course to come out and have some fun.
