Golf , Florida Sunshine and Friendly Staff is Priceless!

I first met Dee Dee & Jeff only about a month ago but I feel like I’ve known them forever. Jeff & Dee Dee are very nice people and they made me feel welcome and I’m not a Golfer but I may try it now that I’ve met
Jeff & Dee Dee and their staff. I’m giving Placid Lakes Golf & Country Club and Staff “A Hole in One” In my review.

Rough Shape

Love this course and love the staff here, but this course is in rough shape right now. Both fairways and greens have very bad weeds mixed in and extremely dried out. The restaurant closed again so once golf is over, it's over and there are no options on the turn for food. A shame as it's convenient and a nice lay out. Sure hope they get things together soon.

Playing in the rain

We booked the game through Golf Now and our foursome arrived at the club. It was cloudy but not raining at that time. We played 3 holes and it began to rain. We called the clubhouse and tried to arrange a rain check but were told no since we booked through golf now. We managed to play 10 holes in drizzle and light rain but then it started to rain heavier so we just went home.
