Wooly Greens

Coarse was busy on a Wednesday afternoon. Looked like mostly Senior Citizens were out! Greens were slow and wooly. We got done in 4 hours. Paid 10 bucks so we couldn't complain to much. Got done at 4:30, couldn't get any food at restaurant. Was interested because it was packed when we got there. Pretty much got what we paid for.

Great course to work on your game.

I really enjoy playing here. I always play early afternoon. Pace of play is always fast. It's a very forgiving course, wide open fairways. Greens roll nice. They are doing some maintenance to a couple greens. It is an excellent course to work on your game. And the cost to play here, you can't beat it.

playing at the local beer bar

this is a very bad course !!
Maybe I was there at the wrong moment, but a lot of drinking on and of the course !!
Bad tee box, bad greens, fairway with a lot off holes and divots, very slow play.
Stopped after 9 holes....
10 $ per player was not even worth it !!
will never return !!

Good value

With all the rain we have had in the Lakeland, Bartow area the course was in very good condition. Fairways were good and greens were rolling true. There were some wet areas but none that came into play if you stayed in the fairway. Was first off in the morning and played in exactly two hours.

Nice, Moderate Course

The only difficulty we had was that the greens had been recently aerated and were quite slow. Other than that, it was an enjoyable round.

OK Muni course

Played as a single and several groups were
Nice enough to let me play thru. Old course with many great trees, that can put you in jail. Not a fan of the raised, domed greens, but that was the design in the day. Visiting Lakeland so trying different courses in the area. Played for $20 with cart, so good value. Would probably not play here again and would try other courses.

The tee boxes were down due to an early morning tournement

I was having a great time although all the tees were removed due to an earlier tourney. When I came around to hole 14, all the sprinklers were on... Come on it was only 3:15p.m. When I shortened my day, and informed the pro shop, they said nothing and continued to sign in the next person. I am just amazed that I golf a few times each week, and rarely do my golf days go without issue. Maybe I have a black cloud over my head. Well regardless, I will keep swinging and simply learn to accept those things that are out of my control. On a good note, considering the lack of rain, the course was in fairly good condition with exceptional fairways...

We enjoyed are day of player thanks

This course is one of the best for the value that we have found in this area. I booked through Golf Now but for what I was charged by Golf Now which was more than what I paid when I booked the same 18 hole round right in the pro shop so not a great deal. Only complaints is that the dining area closes a 2pm and that is way to soon.

Not really my favorite course.

Considering the time of year and traffic on the course, it is in pretty good shape. All.employees are pleasant and equipment in satisfactory condition. To be quiet frank, I do not care for the built up, domed greens. Better courses do not have this type green on every hole. No doubt I will probably play more golf there anyway.

Greens were the best we have seen in this area

Exceptional value for your money. Greens and fairways are in great shape. Pin placements made the course that much more difficult. Enjoyed playing here and will be back soon.

Slow play

The corse is in fair condition considering all the play it gets. Unfortunately the play is at a snells pace. I see a lot of five and sixums wich slows the pace as well. I think the ranger could do a better job. Oh wait, I didnt see a Ranger.

We booked an 8:30 tee time and got off right away. The course was in good shape and we got around in 3 hours. We got an excellent rate through GolfNow and look forward to playing the course again.

Very crowded but once we passed the third hole never waited again. It's a golf course and I love golf, but it would not be in my top ten courses. Had a good time as I always do at golf.

Not a Fancy Club-but good value

Front nine had small elevated greens. Back nine had larger greens and some water hazards. Many greens well protected by deep bunkers. Also, there were a few hidden bunkers along fairways. Course was not over seeded and dormant Bermuda greens were pretty fast.

Course was over crowded with too many slow groups. They could use a ranger to keep them moving.

Lots of wildlife on course. Highlight was a large group of wild turkeys.

Ate lunch in Mulligans restaurant which had good food.
