Hernando Oaks

Hadn't played the course in over 2 years so wasn't sure what to expect. Pleasantly surprised. Fairways had what looked like rye grass which was nice, course compared to what you normally get in a Florida course this time of year. Greens were a little fast but putted true. Some of the tee boxes did need some work, but overall nice course. Will be back

Good price for the course

The fairways were in better condition than most courses within 60 miles, with lots of grass. The traps were in relatively poor condition but there was heavy rain a few days prior. The greens were in very good shape but slower than other courses, so perhaps they could be cut a bit shorter. All in all, it was a very good course for the "hot deal" price. We love the layout.

My Favorite Local Course so far

After 27 years of not playing golf I am back at it. Hernando Oaks is a challenging and beautiful course. The greens are huge and the fairways have a lot of rolls and are not flat. If you don't reach the greens in regulation, it will be hard to score low.

The property is very quiet though very near high traffic areas. You feel like you are in a secluded area.

Though the course gets a lot of play, the rate of play was good. The traps were full of water, but we just got 5" of rain in the area 2 days before we played. I cannot blame the course for that.

The Brand new Yamaha golf carts were some of the best I have ever used. I will definitely play this course regularly.

A very good course in very good condition.

The conditions were very good greens well kept overall, the day we played was wet due to quite a bit of rain the days before and the bunkers were pudding. This was of no fault of the staff of course, and you could see the bunkers were well tended in normal conditions. I fully intend to play this course again.

Challenging layout

Layout of this course will challenge your skills. The greens were rolling true. Tee times were overbooked by Golfnow and pace of play reflected that.

Windy Day

Check in was quick and efficient. Starter promptly started us as a twosome. Another twosome caught up and joined us so we didn't wait on the groups ahead as much. The strong wind made play interesting but we finished in slightly over four hours. Fairways had grass in various conditions but thin around many greens bringing the five iron or Texas wedge into play. The greens were fast and a little tricky in the wind. The bunkers are hard and need work. Off of the fairway, don't go there.

Pleasantly Surprised

Nice layout. Greens were perfect. Overall course was very good and a good value. Would have given 5 stars if the pace of play wasn’t over 5 hours.

Slow Play

Have not played this course for over a year. Last time I play left after 9 holes because of slow play, things have not changed much. I had a tee time for 11:00, was going to be behind a shotgun that would be done after hole 8. After the last group of the shotgun went thru I thought it was our turn to tee off. NO a group of 8 women (members) but in front of us. Ended up teeing off a 11:50. The second group of women who we were behind were extremely slow, at least two or more holes open ahead of them, and never offer to let us play thru. Waited on every shot. Round took over 5 hours. Never again will I play this course...

Tee times need work.

Showed up at 1015 for our 11 am time. Found a shot gun was out on the course so they said they will push us 15 min. Not a problem. We got pushed back 40 min and then 2 foursums came up (Members as we found out from the starter) and they just bullied there way in saying they had an 1130 am time. Starter just let them threw. Ridiculous. And of course they were the slowest players. Round was close to 5 hours as we waited on every shot. No Marshall to push them along. We were a 3 sum but they had no intentions of letting us threw. No etiquette. Never doing that again. Sad because it's a very nice course for the dollar. The pro shop and starter just need to be stronger and not let the Members get there own way.

Getting Better

I played this course back in November. They really have done a great job working on the tee boxes and fairways. The need to really encourage players to call in food orders on the turn as we had a 40 minute traffic jam and their clubhouse. Brand new carts as their last ones had duck tape all over the seats?
