Strike Three

What a disappointment to find crappy greens at Apollo Beach! Repeatedly my putts took zigzag turns on the greens; and let’s face it, that course without good greens is a waste of time and money. Some of the problems were unrepaired ball marks, and some was very poor turf management. I know, it’s Covid19, but I’m comparing it to other courses, and their greens aren’t good.

It was fun. Needs ton of work

Horribly maintained. Putting greens nonexistent. Red tees were on fairways in some holes. Short ball course which made it feel like I was a great golfer. Cart path is good. Greens look nice but are slow. Solid value for money. Golfed at noon and had the whole course to myself. Great course for beginners and mediocre golfers. I would recommend bring kid to play here!

Needs a little work

In general, this course needs a little TLC. The fairways need some new grass and upkeep. The greens are also inconsistent. I really like the layout and think it is a fun place to play if your golf skills are mediocre like mine.

Don’t play here

waste of money. course was in terrible conditions. we played on a saturday, and they had a par 5 cut down to a par 3 for construction. on a saturday. the holes that we did play had patches of good grass, patches of sand and patches of dirt. the greens were similar conditions, horrendous bumps and bounces every way. very similar to The Claw which is condemned and falling apart. actual grass, smooth fairways and greens would make it better.

Not great shape

Fairways are thin, with lots of weeds and patchy grass. Not much difference between a fairway lie and the rough (also thin and patchy.) Greens are bumpy - appear to have been recently aerated.

Goat farm

Do not waste your money playing here. We had a 9am tee time and they barely had enough carts left to send us out in. Everything is terribly maintained and the greens are sanded and some of the slowest I’ve ever played. The maintenance crew left sprinklers attached in the middle of the day on one of the greens. There are power lines that overhang directly in the line of your drive on hole 3. There are a few holes that provide a view of the canals and nicer homes with beautiful boats but i would be disgusted to have to look at the garbage that is the Apollo Beach Golf Club. This course needs some TLC.

First time playing this course....

And I have to admit I am super happy with it! I drove up from Bradenton and it was well worth the money and the drive. The greens were a little bit bumpy but I can easily overlook that. The pro-shop staff were great, the concession stand people were also very nice! I will definitely be back!

Good day

My wife and enjoyed nine holes and played ok not our best.
It was backed up starting on the front nine. We both pared the first and moving over to the second hole the threesome in front of us were still waiting to tee off.
After waiting for eight minutes we drove over to ten and were able to play in normal pace of play.

The layout is excellent. Too bad they don’t take care of this course. The only good grass was on the partially covered ,extremely bumpy greens. The fairways were bare.

How did this course get a 4 star rating

Got there 8 minutes before tee time
My threesome was sent out early
Caught up and preceded to wait.....
At the end of 9holes my “group” decided” to have lunch...huh??
So I went ahead as a single
Never saw them again
Course was in lousy condition
Never saw a ranger
The guy working the desk in pro shop never even looked at me..
Oh well..$26 and an afternoon wasted
