Great value.

Nice layout, course as not pristine but challenging and fun to play. Staff is great and helpful, especially Joe and his brother. Consider how overpriced most courses are today this one is a good choice.

Wide open. Good course

Not very scenic, but a decent course. Play here when others become too expensive.

Enjoyed the Day

Would have given this course an excellent rating except that the fairways need work. Very sparse
which made it difficult to hit off of.

Perfect weather

Tee times too close together

The course is decent, greens are fast but pace of play ,,,,,,well over 5 hours very frustrating. The tee times are just too close together so you wait a long time for every hole…you lose your rhythm!
If they would fix the pace, we would play more often!

Fun

Wind was blowing so fun downwind but a tough
against. Love the layout. I'm 71 and I play the men's or white tees. Mostly mid to short irons on approach.par 3s are very good. Although there water on a lot of holes it's not in play mostly. Friendly staff. Provide 6 pack cooler with ice no charge if you get a 6. Great practice areas with chipping,sand and driving range. Putting area located by firsts tee.

Fun for all

Pretty good shape considering all the rain we had. Played s little longer as a result. Fairways and bunkers in good shape. I like the layout and unlike most Florida courses, there's room off the tee and limited water features to contend with.
