Overpriced

The course was overpriced. Temporary tee box on, 10 making the par 4 a par three which they failed to mention. The tee boxes and fairways were in poor shape. Thought we were getting a GolfNow “deal “ for $100.00. It’s a $40.00 course at best. Staff was very friendly and greens were in good condition but very small.

February play

Not very friendly in clubhouse, cart guy in lot was best for information and very helpful. Starter seemed knowledgeable but a little more in tune with helping regulars than first timers. Did advise to stay below hole which was good. No staff to get slower players to speed up. Some greens not in great shape. Other courses in area better kept for less dollars.

Not worth any money !

This course is awful. Rude staff and the worst course conditions you can imagine. Greens are ok but fairways, rough and tees are brutal. Imagine paying $125 and you’re not allowed to use the range !!! Yep, it’s only for members. Pace of play was great but no chance I will ever play there again

Don’t waste your money!

One of the worst golf courses I’ve ever played. Fairways were like hitting off horse track. $140 they should be prosecuted for Larceny.

Horrible waste of time and money

First of all this is a municipal track that should be no more than $40/50 a round and that's being kind. Worst conditions of any course I have ever played in Florida. Tee boxes are laughable and the fairways non-existent. Greens are good but that's not even a saving grace! Don't waste your money, play a real course. There are so many actual good courses in the area...

Not happy with Club House Personnel and Course

Woman at pro shop was not friendly at all. She gave me the impression I was bothering her when I checked in. She barely spoke to me. Course was also a big disappointment. Greens had burnt out areas, one green actually had a sizable area in front that was roped off and marked "Ground under repair" Fairways were void of sufficient grass. My playing partners paid $125.00 each. I played courses near Sarasota for $60.00 that were in better shape than Boca Royale.

Way too much!

I can’t believe that, for the price, they don’t let you use the driving range unless you are a member.. the course was full of weeds and in poor condition for the price they are charging.. I played many local course for less that were in much better condition. Nice layout though, but I would not recommend this track.

Overpriced by $75

Course is average at best. I only enter this review in the context of the cost of the round at $125. Course is in less than average condition No GPS. No Driving Range. Some greens are in very poor condition. In addition, the Pro Shop do not mention that one hole was under repair. I do not think that this would have changed our decision to play, but I believe this should be communicated.

My two cents. Better to price this course at $75 and have golfer return again versus pricing at $125 and having golfer write a bad review and never play to return

Course was challenging, but several greens were undergoing repairs

Enjoyed the course and found it challenging with water coming into play on many holes. Several greens were under repair and #10 was changed from a par 4 to a shorter par 3. Overall, we enjoyed our day and will return.

It gets worse.

Can't use a driving range because it's for member only. Paid $127+ for a round that I couldn't practice. The conditions were worst, the fairway was bumpy and muddy. It's just a waste of money. The .ball laid on grass, so your divot is hard mud. They want to go private, that not smart because people leave to go home. Maybe six months away will give them time to repair as their problems.

PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT THIS COURSE

The buttons don't work correctly. I'm 12 handicap and I golf 4 times a week.

Disappointing

No range to warm up the swing. Round took 5 hours, with wait time on nearly every shot. Construction on 10 hole dropped a par four to a three with a sand area on the green. Disappointed given the price of the round. Lots of doglegs that keep driver in the bag.

Would not rush back

The fairways had very little grass, so most lies were very tight. When we got to hole 10, we could not find the tee boxes, even though we had played the course last year. Couldn't find anyone around to give us directions so we went into the bar and they told us that they had moved the tees way up. They had actually turned the par 4 into a short par 3, like 120 yards, so the slope and rating is not correct on the card. With fees and taxes we paid nearly $80...... this is not a $80 course.

Fast Play

The course is not overly long or difficult. We played in under four hours. The grass is sparse in some places. The grass on the greens seemed to putt different on the front versus the back.

Very disappointed with conditions. Tee boxes were average, fairways very poor and thin, greens were good. Sad for a course that should better than most.
