Nice easy course with great scenery

I played here for the first time last week. The staff was friendly particularly the starter. The course along the Indian river was in good condition. Holes are relatively short but with a lot of water hazard. We had a good time!

Challenging but fair

Great layout with excellent greens. Typical crabgrass rough difficult to hit from. Some holes provide ocean to river views! We (twosome) played 18. Holes in 2 1/2 hours. Will definitely go back.

Nice ,but....

It's an older course, but does have a lot of good challenges, water, distance on a few. And there are some interesting animals. But the grass could be much better,off and on the greens.

Wet weather

Sunshine turns to rain

It started to rain after 9 holes. We waited for 1/2 hour
and decided to ask for a rain check. Since we had paid with golf now there were no rain checks. We tried to play on and got soaked. We quit on the 11th without getting to the green.
You must be sure of the weather before booking with Golf Now.

We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. We apologize that GolfNow was not able to refund or rain check your tee time. We know that sometimes when a round has begun or a part of it has been played that they can offer partial credit so it may be worth reaching out to the Golfer Care Team to see if this option is available to you. Thanks for visiting Spessard Holland Golf Course, we hope to see you again in the future.

Course show some small signs of the hurricane

The course is 95% back to normal. Just a few wet areas. We played with no delays. Greens are a touch slow but ball was rolling true. Overall we enjoyed our round. I beat my teacher so it was a great day for me.

Need Better Directions on Course

For the price it is a nice course but wouldn't cost much to add a few direction arrows with hole location so you don't get lost as we did both times.
