This is a nice course in need of some watered fairways. The greens are in fair condition.
What is mostly disturbing about this course is the individuals jumping in front of groups during the round. This has now happened to our group three times playing this course as well as one group of 4 playing at the pace of a snail with two open holes in front of them.

Great course for the price

Found a special price and was a little worried about what we would find. When you drive up don't let the exterior of the clubhouse scare you, the course is much better than that. The staff were friendly and helpful. Pretty much water on every hole but still fair. No hidden holes...what you see is what you get. Course in good condition.

Good layout

It was a short but heavy rain the night before so the first nine was pretty pretty wet. Fairways on the back nine are in fine shape. Some of the greens are patchy. Definitely a fun and challenging course to play. Staff was good and informative it was our first time there.

Construction & Slow Play

The staff were trying to do their job and it's not their fault but the bridge leading to the first tee was destroyed, but it was inconvenient nonetheless. The range was closed so I couldn't warm up. When I asked about any chipping and putting green the pro shop attendant simply didn't answer. Cart path only on certain holes due to weather which is to be expected. I was a single golfer. I wasn't paired up with anyone and none of the groups ahead would let me play through so my round took 4+ hrs when it should have been 3. Where is the ranger? Why would you let me play behind a group of 11 people who are in a league? It was a frustrating day.

Chuck the starter was a rude and slightly incompetent, I arrived as a single and he wouldn’t allow me to have a cart. He stated “Golf Now only reserves you a tee time and half a cart, you’ll have to wait for someone to somehow up”. It was dead I sat in the pro shop for 40 minutes until a random single off the street came in and they allowed me to grab a cart.

Round cancelled

The course ended up getting closed due to weather the night before. I was unaware of this until I drove 40 minutes to the course. I was also told everybody was called and notified that the course was cancelled but me and other people I talked to never received that phone call.

Greens were in fairly good shape... fairways needed more grass. Jen Cully is an excellent LPGA teaching pro based out of Apollo Beach GC. I absolutely recommend her to improve your game...men or women!

Fun golf day at Apollo Beach

We and our friends from Canada had a nice round.
For me, it play a little long... but that's my problem.
