Nature Walk Golf Club, as its name would suggest, sprawls across a scenic landscape blanketed with majestic oaks and Florida pines. The course boasts well manicured fairways as well as immense playability, both of which have been factors in its growing popularity. While the layout may not satisfy golfers looking for monstrous pot bunkers and lengthy par 5s, it does provide a fair amount of challenge. A number of sparkling blue lakes come into play throughout as well as bunkers that closely hug the greens. Nature Walk Golf Club is both gentle enough for beginners while being a great casual round for more seasoned golfers. The warm atmosphere, excellent conditions, and easy of play can be enjoyed no matter what skill level. Golfers can also utilize the extensive practice facilities, which include a driving range, a putting and chipping green, and a pitching green complete with a practice bunker.

Worst greens in America

They are making so much money off the ball machine. They are not putting any money back in the course for the greens.

The greens are rough, but overall for the cost, it is scenic and has some challenging water holes.

They have definitely done some work since last time I played here. Fairways and tee boxes are looking better! Greens are starting to look better!

Putt & Pray

Great executive course (par 61) that will just improve as the weather warms up. Consisting mostly of par 3's, there are plenty of par 4's to make it worth bringing along a driver, or at least a 3 wood.

It's only flaw are the greens - all need some TLC. I can't imagine they could be any worse than they are now. They're either all sand or a weeds/sand/grass combo, which means you basically putt and pray.

Regardless, we enjoyed our round so much that we played another 18 holes, and will look for another opportunity the next time we are in the area.

WARNING: Be aware of balls coming from the driving range as you approach the 8th fairway and green and the 9th green.

Beautiful layout course

Always Pleasant, Friendly staff. Golf Course is well laid out and a great length for seniors.
Unfortunately, the only problem is the greens need lots of TLC. But we still come back every Winter and play it.

Practice makes better

Not much to say about this course except it’s an executive practice course with low maintenance, fair greens, and a value for the money. If you need iron practice this is the place to be where if it’s not crowded and your by yourself, work on you iron play

Weather Great, Golf Not Good

Not a positive experience. Greens were simply not playable, brown with clumps of odd grasses all over. First time I had to play bounces on the way to the hole. Hopefully just a winter problem. Cart path only due to previous rains, sloppy everywhere. At least we were allowed to play. Most of driving range netting is gone which allows for balls to enter course on hole # 9. Two balls landed on our green as we were putting. This Danger should be taken seriously. No amenities except for bathrooms which were clean.

Don’t trust the pictures you see

Staff is friendly, but… Tee boxes and putting greens could really use some attention. Some fairways are even bad. Every time we have played here you can bet you’re going to be stacked up waiting. Be careful not to get hit by range balls coming over due to the nets being torn up and gone. Overall, the place needs some work!
