Very Nice Course amazing houses.

Really enjoyed this course, it was in great shape from tee to green. It is fairly open but trouble lurks every where if you are a little wild on your shots. Staff where friendly and pace of play was pretty good. I will definitely add to my list of frequent courses to play in area,

Challenge the wall!

Great course layout. Many holes you will surely remember. Staff was very engaging. With no rain in months, the courses are truly challenged indeed. Cheval is not far off. Please stay afloat during these tough times that the USA is having. If you enjoy nature.Cheval is the place to go.

I love this course

Cheval has always been one of the premier courses in Tampa and I take every opportunity I can to play there. The greens rolled true. Overall the course was in great condition. The staff was helpful and friendly. Can't wait to play there again.

Not worth the $$ better values close by

Having played Cheval last week arrived home to Ct & played gold this past weekend. Coming out of a mild winter our courses here are in much better shape. Greens at Cheval need work . Fairways need fertilizer. Disappointed in the overall condition!!

Wow

After a bad experience in the summer of 2018, I decided to give a second chance and it was an excellent decision. The course was in perfect condition, it is a golf course with beautiful challenges, the playing time was exceptionally slow. My bad experience corresponds to the time of the rainy season. At this time of year, I highly recommend this course, I am a handicap 4. From the back tee off is a good game test! We will be back at Easter!

Good course but greens are in tough shape

I realized its early in the season but holes or dead spots make the greens tough to putt. Pace was great for afternoon play and we had a few challenging holes.
