Over-rated and over-priced….and weird!

My wife and I were surprised on arrival to find that there was no-one booked on the course for an hour before or after us so we had the course to ourselves and went round in three hours. The course was ok but not worth the price, it wasn’t that special. Worst point was that we were told there was a drinks cart on the course but it never appeared and we really could have done with some refreshments during the back nine - we would have bought some to take out if they hadn’t said there was a drinks cart. The clubhouse reminded us of the film “The Shining” - it was dark, old fashioned, dull and weird. I expected a couple of girls to come in shouting “Redrum” like in the film. There was no draft beer available in the bar either, which was a disappointment after a round with no drinks cart! The price of a bottle of beer and a wine was ridiculously high too. Also a Greenkeeper was rude on the course and pushed ahead of me as I was about to step into the on-course rest room. I wouldn’t visit this place again, it’s over-rated, over-priced and would only have been worth the visit if Jack Nicholson had actually walked in and re-enacted a scene from The Shining!

Uphill in the snow BOTH WAYS

Uphill, uphill, uphill. Wow, very unique course for Florida, even the downhill tee shots hit an uphill fairway. extremely interesting course layout, great condition. I wouldn't want to pay 120 for a round, but with a little hot deal action you cannot be mad about this. You will not be bored by this layout.

Great course

Enjoyed this course thoroughly. I want to play the Colinas course now. Course was well maintained and beautiful setting. I wouldn't pay $120 but it's definitely a nice country club type feel to it. Lots of water, creeks, tree lined fairways and fast greens.

Pretty sad

As someone who loves the game as much as i do. It is heartbreaking to see such an amazing golf course neglected as badly as this one has been. I still enjoyed my round, but found myself imagining what the place must have looked like in years past. I heard the golf course is under new management, and really hope they can bring it back to what it deserves to be.

Poor Condition + Overpriced = Waste of Time

Was really looking forward to enjoying this highly rated course by golf magazines, however, was extremely disappointed.
First of all, the conditions on the tee boxes and greens were poor with bare spots.
Secondly, the pace of play was abysmal, without any rangers in sight to speed up the pace. A 5 hour 15 minute round of golf, with waiting on every hole is totally unacceptable.
Thirdly, the restrooms at the clubhouse were very dirty and foul-smelling.
The nail in the coffin is that they're charging a price of $145 for this experience. 😳

Rainy Days and Mondays

Played following a downpour so course a bit soggy. We only play the Mission inn courses about once per year while on vacation. We felt like it was not up to a level that we had seen in the past ( same time of year). Fairways were not as lush, and had some bare areas. Greens were rolling okay but coloration a bit mottled. Bunkers were clean and mostly raked. Would have been disappointed if we had paid rack rate; Hot Deal made for a fair price IMO. Cart guys always very nice!
We will be back and hopefully things will be better.
