Good value

Greens in great condition. Fairways could use some help. Rough is rough. Bunkers overgrown on edges/walls. Forgiving fairways. Tee boxes very beat up. Tee boxes marked by one marker, sometimes hard to see.
Cart paths diverge into dirt paths- very bumpy.
Basic carts- no gps. Gas powered.
Shop has some shirts and snacks. Sodas and beer /white claws available, decent price. No free ice- $2.99 for a bag. No service on the course. Bathrooms near 7 and 13, also inside the club.
Grab a scorecard when you check in- they’re not preloaded on the carts.
Was $35 on GolfNow for 18 on a Thursday morning 7:24am.
They have a putting green by the club and a driving range between holes 1 and 10.
Would golf there again. Course was fun and cheap. A lot of hills.

super course

The layout was great. Front side requires a stright tee shot due to narrow fairways, Back nine was a littjer grier with less grass, But still playable and enjoyable. Had a great time.

Practice course

Needs cleaning up, and could use water on fairway to get some grass to grow! Greens were pretty nice

Good Value

Course is what it is.

Greens run at 8-8.5 on the stimp. Some rough spots but they do a good job of keeping the pins away from the troubled areas of the greens.

Fairways spotty, but if you play ball in hand you can find a good patch of grass.

Bunkers are washed out and overgrown. Not sure what they are planning to do with them. Fill them in or let them grow out to become grassy bunker areas.

Layout challenging off the tees. Great visuals and challenging enough for any level of play

It was ok for $35

Tee boxes and Fairways need improvement. It is very dry in Florida which does not help, but overall the course is in rough shape. Greens are ok and layout is challenging.

Decent public course

For the money it is not a bad deal but no water in the ball washers, torn towels, and some updated maintenance is needed.

Great value and layout

This place must have been something back in its day. Great layout but very neglected course. Gonna take a lot to clean it up. Greens were good and fairways were ok. Tee boxes need something to be desired. What makes it a 4 star is the layout and pace of play. Nobody on the course and we paid $24 per player. Can’t beat it.

Bargain

For those looking for a cheap, quality, uncrowded round of golf this is the place. You can tell it was something else at one time. Great layout but overall condions need something to be desired. Playable though because the greens were pretty good. Tee boxes were unkept and fairways were not kept up. It was like the course went financially under and is barely being kept alive. The carts were in terrible shape and dirty. Couldn’t believe the beautiful huge oaks and towering oaks. But with all the negatives the positives about the course stood out. Bargain at $24.00 perplayer

Good conditions for price

Greens and fairways are in great condition. Rough and sand traps need some attention. Liked the layout, lots of trees and limbs, stay in the middle.
