Nice Place

Your typical Florida golf course but, worth the drive. Much better maintained than some courses I’ve played . Plus the layout can be quite challenging on many of the holes. Worth playing again.

Amazing layout

The course was in terrible shape. The back 9 looked a lot better than the front. There seems to be some sort of drainage issue on the front nine. The greens were in rough shape. When I went to go inside to the pro shop I could smell mold inside. The person that was working in the pro shop seemed like he has an issue with everyone that walks in. He was very rude to a lady on the phone when I was paying. But you can’t beat the price but the staff needs some help dealing with customers correctly. Also all of the bunkers looked horrible they were in terrible shape. But what can I say for the price it was worth it but there is definitely room for improvement.

Good value for $

Good pace of play. Greens in excellent condition. Fairways OK. Sand traps horrible with little to no sand… took drops out of them. Tee boxes ok. Some broken ball cleaners and benches at Tee Boxes. Could be good course with some TLC, but not bad for the price in the high season.

Review

The course was wet but playable,

A Ranger was needed to remind the golfers ahead of me to play intelligently especially don’t leave the carts on the fairway while they walk up to the green to play out, then walk back down holding up my play.
