Another Fun Round

Staff all very friendly and helpful. They need more golf carts, as we had to wait for a cart for our afternoon round. Takes away from practice time,

Played North and South Course. Condition of fairways, sand traps and greens were average. Greens slow and bumpy, fairways thin no grass North course worst of the two. Layout is interesting and challenging. We got a hot deal rate otherwise we would not play this course at their rack rates.

too tricked up

The course is very narrow with water and sand. A lot of blind holes and doglegs that you have no idea where the green is. It is a shame because the course is in good condition, I would never pay full price for this course.

Zero organization and overbooking

Paid for 18 holes managed 9 in about 2.5 hours. No starter on the north course at 16:00 keeping order restored . Pretty cowboy-esque set up. I ended up going whenever I could squeeze myself in. Pace of play was atrocious.

Good value for late afternoon price

A lot of blind shots and water. c
Course was in good shape but for the average golfer you are going to need a dozen balls.

Friendly employees

Almost every employee was very friendly to interact with! Unfortunately, rain closed the course before we could finish. Thanks to the general manager & 1 assistant, we were offered a complete rain check or refund. Thank you for that. We play this course every time we come to Florida, which is often. Happily recommend this course.

Very slow play

Front nine went well, but it appeared they added several nine hole foursomes in front of our foursome on the second nine. Result was a painfully slow nine with two to three foursomes waiting on tees.
