fairways are worn, spotty grass, greens were worn out,, more mid-summer burn-out condition than winter/spring condition as area courses are usually pristine for the snow-birds this time of year..

Worst course conditions I’ve ever seen

Obviously the owners don’t care about golf.
Weeds growing out of the fairway bunker’s fairways and tee boxes all beat up...Greens in very poor condition...Weeds everywhere. Will never play there again...

Some fairways dirt and dead grasss
Greens looked painted and scalped, like putting on Concret
Many golfers on other courses will not play due to course condition, they are a conversation piece on the golf courses
Great lay out wish they would do basics

Rumor is they want to sell so they don't want to put any money into course

Ehhhh......

Wow what a mixed bag....first arrived in plenty of time for 11:50 tee time only to find out they were out of carts...did not get to tee off until 12;25. Staff and starter were nice and professional. Greens though a little bumpy were lightning quick and probably the best part of cart -- although a few pin placements were looked like they were placed with no thought (i.e. blatantly unfair). Fairways, bunkers and tee boxes were abysmal...little or no grass, bunkers going to weed, basically horrible. Those factors along with the face they ran out of working carts before noon leads me to believe this course is in trouble, Which is a shame because it is a great layout.,...can not recommend in its current state

Scenic but odd

Course is rough around the edges but has some natural beauty to it. Scenery is amazing but the grass conditions were pretty tough. Very fun to play a wild hilly course like this in Florida. The starter is a pretty snide character, best just ignore his sarcasm and do not engage. The bar and grille is worth it also.

Course condition

This course could be the jewel in the crown of Central Florida BUT it has not been taken care of as it should! The fairways are full of a crablike grass and pretty bare around those spots. The greens have major fungus problems and are really bumpy! Making a 4 foot putt is even harder on them! The course needs a greens keeper that can fix the issues and owners that are willing the invest a few hundred thousand dollars to make is a great layout! The elevation is at 85 feet with lots of rolling terrain so the views are wonderful. Too bad about the overall condition as it could be great!

Challenging layout but needs attention. If the fairways and greens improve then it would’ve a tough track.

The course was in bad shape. Fairways were very dry and sandy. Greens were very bumpy due to other grasses intruding into the greens.
