I Recommend This Course
I've played it a lot because I like it.
The course starts out like it's going to be simple on #1 and #2.. #3 surprises you. #4 may be one of the toughest 4-par hole around (and look out for the gators), and then #5 is a tougher 4-par. #6 is a give you no breaks, angled 3-par. #7 is a straight-away longer 3-par, the only hole with no water. #8 can grab you like #17 at Sawgrass. #9 is one long, tight and tough 4-par with a small, well-trapped green.

Won't Play Again
I was visiting the area and only had time to play 9 holes. The condition of the course was good but having so many par 3 holes I only used my PW and Putter which isn't much fun for me. I also felt like the pace was pushy. This is truly just a tourist course and not for me.

Very good par 3/4 track
Condition of this course was above average for time of year. Some challenging holes with strategic hazards will test the skills of most golfers. Could not beat the price for a Sunday morning.

Could be very slow
Scenery is very good. Course condition is fair. It could be a nice 90 minute golf if the pace is decent. Expect to skip one hole if you play behind some very old folks. It is not their fault; you are just unlucky that day.

Great little course
This par 30 course has relatively easy holes as well as a few challenging ones. It's fun to play and a great value, especially if you play at a hot price time.

Cranes Bend Not Worth the Effort
Cranes Bend is basically a par 3 course, not very well conditioned and the pace of play was horrible. Don’t waste your time or money. The Reserve and Legends are far better golf courses

Not as easy as you think
9 holes and we played twice. The par 3s had elevated small greens so if you didn't hit them your ball often ended up in a hazard. The par 4s were a reasonable length and tight for driving. Overall the course was a good test and the greens were OK and provided an enjoyable experience.
