Looking so much better

The fairways have been over seeded and look great. Number eight green needs to be replaced. This is my personal favorite golf course to get your confidence back in your game. I see good things happening here don’t stop.

Progress is being made

A few months ago i was ashamed to call this my home course, but im glad to see work being done to get it where it needs to be. To all the people complaining a hole is closed or there is temporary greens.. that happens when you have to replace greens. Deal with it and in time the new greens will be good.

Horrible

Absolutely disgusting staff! The fact that their course is complete junk and they act like it’s top notch is a big “NO” for me. $8 for anybody just riding with you, to cover the gas, at least that’s what I was told. THE LADY IN THE PRO SHOP NEEDS TO BE FIRED! She seemed annoyed to provide services. She actually had the nerve to tell my gf that she needed to cover up more because she didn’t like what she was wearing. Umh i didn’t see any dress code posted and who the “heck are you”! She was just riding with me on a slow Sunday afterNOON with thunderstorms over us and NO ONE else on the course! Not to mention I “paid for her to just ride!” I would have let that slide but on top of that I asked a simple question “ Me: hi, do you offer military discount ?” Her reply: “ do you see where we are at, we would have to give everyone a discount if that was the case!” So, in other words because there’s so many of us our individual sacrifices don’t matter in her eyes. Like I said, high standards, low quality all the way around, course and staff! Greens are horrible, they even had a hole setup on the fairway grass like you can putt on that! Ridiculous! I played there often but now I highly recommend looking elsewhere!

Worst course in Central Florida

This course has got to be one of the worst maintained courses I’ve ever seen. Tee boxes are ok but a lot are mostly dirt/sand. Weeds everywhere and divots galore. The worst part about the whole course (besides the maintenance crew who barely does their job) are the greens. The greens have got to be the worst I’ve played on. Hole 15 literally has a mini bunker on it. Sand all on the greens and extremely patchy. You will never get a good roll on these greens. Maintenance crew has got to do better. They were literally weed eating the water when me and my buddy drove by them. Carts are weak as well. The only good thing I can say about this course is the customer service from the front desk was great. Maintenance crew needs to be fired though cause they clearly can’t keep a course looking well. If I could vote 0 I would. Never go here. There are plenty of other courses that are way better for nearly the same price. I wish I would’ve taken pictures cause it was awful.

Fun short course.

Pretty fun course for a 62 par. The greens were dead a lot on the back 9. Making putting even more frustrating. Golf carts felt slow. But had a good time.

Less than expected

Another golf community that wants money with as little aintenance of the course as possible. Tee boxes full of weeds. Fairways the same. Some greens were actually full of dead grass. The course is very short also. This course is on the verge of being unplayable.

$20 tee time, got exactly what I expected.

I would NEVER bash a course that is clearly barely staying afloat but the customer service that I received from the “gentleman” in the pro shop was disgusting. I booked a quick round for my father and I on a slow Sunday morning. Upon arriving at the course I was greeted and I explained to the pro shop that I would have my little sister playing with us as well (9 years old), and was told that it was only a $8 addition, great. I also had the gentleman add on a bucket of range balls after I asked if there was time for us to hit a few balls before our round, in which he explained that the course was slow and we could take all the time we need. Not 3 minutes into hitting balls on the range with my father and my sister a p’d off 65 year old pro shop cashier comes storming out to explain to me with far too much aggression that I have done wrong by paying for the “ride along” fee of $8 when I should have paid the “junior green fee” of $9. Mind you not a single one of the greens has been maintained or seemingly watered for weeks if not months, water features where there shouldn’t be water features and honestly an overall subpar course. After explaining to Mr. High Cholesterol that $1 was no issue for me and that I didn’t appreciate his tone I was then told that for next time that I should “do the right thing” over a $1 misunderstanding on his part. Not worth the $20.

They are working hard on a few greens. There’s still needs to be a lot of work on the course to get it back to 100%.

Not bad for the money

Looking much better than last year. #8 green is terrible. A few other greens need a lot of attention. Overall I still like this course. I’m playing it today again.
