Great course but needs better amenities

I like this course - lots of water challenges (16 of 18 holes), but fair. Things were wet from recent rains, so a bit sloppy. Very wide over-seeded fairways. The on-site restaurant closed in 2023 so there is very limited food and beverage service other than the beverage cart. Harmony is very isolated, so few other food options are nearby The fairways had a few damage areas from birds (an ongoing problem) but overall they were very good. The rate we paid was a special deal 64% discount - the regular rate would have resulted in a different (lower) review.

Good course at a good price

I like this course, but it's also a great deal for the price. Greens are fast and contoured and in good shape. Fairways are overseeded for winter and very nice. Rough is not overseeded and is fair to poor but easy to hit from. Pro shop is undergoing renovations, so restroom and pro shop and snack bar are under construction. Bring a snack or go elsewhere to eat. Both on-course restroom facilities are in poor maintenance.

Pleasantly surprised

Haven't played here in 5 years, but the course is in great shape and a good deal for the price. The greens are very undulating and challenging, but smooth and fair.

King's Ridge a pleasant outing

Greens were excellent, but fast and had lots of undulations - not many straight putts. Fairways were a bit thin, but fine. Traps were well groomed. The only negative is that the rough didn't really exist, just closely mown weeds and grass with some sandy bare spots. The course recovered very quickly after a brief heavy mid-day thunderstorm. I recommend playing this course..

Great course

Only negative is that their Windmill restaurant was closed - an outdoor grill substituted for lunch (included in price).

Excellent course

As always, Celebration golf course was in perfect condition. Coupled with a great layout, we had an enjoyable outing. I hadn't played Celebration for over a year, but I look forward to coming back more often. The only negative is that their Windmill restaurant was closed, with only an outdoor grill and tables as substitute. In the past, the on-site restaurant has been a great complement to the course, so despite the good burger we got, we missed the restaurant.

Nice course

First time playing the course. Quite hilly compared to my usual courses in Florida. Several holes have blind spots where the group in front of you can't be seen, as well as the hole layout, but other than that I have no complaints. Greens were excellent, as were the fairways.

Another pleasant day at LBV

As always, the course was great, and the weather was cooperative. Other than my errant shots, nothing to complain about. This is a great golfing experience.

New greens

We played Providence today with their new greens. The new greens are good, with only a couple greens having small bare spots near the edge. They are a little slower than normal for Providence, and they are firm. Some are a bit uneven in places from poor mower cutting, but not a big problem. Overall, great shape. The course is wet in several places, and the rough is uncut on several holes, resulting in lost balls that shouldn’t be lost. Because of the few wet holes, the entire course is Cart-Path-Only for the month of September! This is why I give is a "don't recommend" rating now. The trap conditions are mixed - some good, others wet or unkept. Fairways were generally very good.

Pleasant Executive course

We played from the back tees, at about 3500 yards, expecting an easy outing, but the course has several interesting holes that make it play harder than expected. Several holes have moderate carries over water of about 150 yards, many sand traps, and some narrow fairways that require precision. Driver can be used on some holes, but a layup might produce a lower score. Each hole has a water hazard of some sort. The greens were a bit bumpy due to a mix of winter and summer grass growing together (late March) but were in decent shape and reasonably fast. The fairways were good. We played in about 3 hours. In my opinion, the forward tees would turn the course into a pitch-n-putt, but the back tees make it a golf course, just smaller par 61.

Nearly Flooded Out

After 9 inches of rain in the preceding days, the course was more than wet. Cart Path Only was barely OK, as the cart paths were under deep water in many places. We received a replay coupon due to the conditions, which I had to ask for, but grateful that it was given. This is a great course, but not on the day we played. I look forward to returning.once it dries out..

Pleasant Outing

This course has enough water on it to challenge your ball supply, but it's still enjoyable to play. Fairways were in decent condition, although the cut height was a bit uneven between individual mower stripes. The greens were moderate speed, and most were in very good condition, although a few had some problem areas. The traps were not raked, and were hard-packed sand, probably the biggest negative about the course condition. Not much in the way of food service for lunch, so we go off-course to eat and drink.

Tough conditions with little rain

This course is a great course, but in need of rain. Greens were very hard and bumpy, making putts over 5 feet a game of chance, and requiring a bump and run approach, as most direct approaches would not hold the green. Fairways were generally good but had some bad sections scattered throughout. With predicted another week of temps in the mid-nineties and no rain, conditions will likely degrade before improving.

Great course at a great price

We like this course, and look forward to each return visit. The only negative I have for this recent round is that on several of the greens the previous hole locations were slightly depressed, indicating poor technique by the greens people. Otherwise the greens were in great shape as were the fairways.

Grass was fairly thin throughout. Greens were recently sanded and had some rough spots. Course conditions were better in 2016 than now (Feb 2017).

Much improved in 2017

I played this course in 2016 and vowed never to return. Rumors of improved conditions made me give it a second try this February (2017). The rumors were true. The course was in great shape. With lots of doglegs and sufficient water hazards, the course layout is great. The fairways were over seeded for winter and in excellent condition. The traps were in nice shape. The greens on this course are very tiny - a big drawback - but they were smooth and true, albeit slow. If they would cut the greens a little shorter, it would help. For the $35 I paid, it was a good deal. Pace of play was also excellent.
