Loved the ocean breeze

It was a hot, muggy Sunday but with the ocean breeze moving the air, it was very comfortable. I just wish my game was better..next time..lol.

Hi, Keith. We apologize for the miscommunication about your round. 2-star feedback is far worse than the 4-star review you wrote for us last month. We have posted on our website, social accounts, and tee times notes about the current course conditions after the storm and ongoing rain. It is unfortunate to hear our efforts were not enough to translate this update to our golfers. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to work towards other ways of informing visitors about updates at the course. Thanks for playing Spessard Holland Golf Course.

A very enjoyable round.

This course is wonderful. To think that a full on hurricane came through here little over a week ago, the course was in terrific condition. The ground crew must have worked day and night to get this into it's present condition. It is a huge credit to everybody concerned. Check in was easy, and very friendly, as was the starter. The course itself suited is fine. As two visiting seniors, we are not impressed by long slogging courses. This is quite short, and suited us perfectly. My only criticism, and it's not of the course, it's of golfers. How can a single hold up a two ball for an entire round. By playing two balls, and by moving at a snail's pace. Thats how. The only advantage of this was that we had plenty of time to look at the views. Some of which are spectacular. All in all a very enjoyable round, that unfortunately had the gloss taken off it by one ignorant player

Thank you so much for the incredible review. We will notify our team that their hard work is not going unnoticed after the storm. Last weekends heavy rain has again put a lot of water on the course so we will continue to work towards full recovery in the coming weeks. Thanks for playing Spessard Holland Golf Course, we look forward to seeing you again soon!

This course has a great backdrop of the Sebastian River. More water hazards on this course than you would think, all man made. Most fairways are straight, greens in good condition.

Nice track, nice location

Course is well maintained and I would suggest it for anyone..Is is a shorter course par 62, but there are enough challenges to accommodate a lower handicapper, but expect to do well here.Staff is always friendly and helpful.Will play again soon.

Terrific Greens / Accuracy Required

Spessard was is wonderful condition. Especially the true rolling greens.

Don't let the shorter length of the course fool you into thinking it is a piece of cake. Accuracy from the tee & approach shots is needed to score well. Many holes are better played with an iron tee shot or fairway wood off the box. Know your club distances!

Friendly staff & clean welcoming clubhouse.

Nestled between the river & ocean... you'll get nice views & a light breeze.

Great round

If you're anywhere near this golf course. Make sure you plan on playing. The views of the Indian river are spectacular. Many of the holes are very challenging. One of my favorite in the area. Hard to beat the golf now deal.

No Refreshments

Course was in fair condition. Pace of play was very slow. No ranger to move things along. Foursome in front of us was horrible and looked for balls on every hole with water with their ball finder. No cart girl and restaurant was closed. No alcohol because they don't have their liquor license yet. Guy in proshop was less than helpful. The highlight was with the guy on the bag drop. Veteran and truly a gentleman. Enjoyed our conversation!

Spessard Holland

A short but challenging course with tight fairways, obstacles, trees and water. Can get fooled into thinking a 300 yd par 4 is easy! A challenge for your game.

Greens have recovered from aeration

Greens are in good shape from recent aeration. It's a short course, but tricky. Definitely not easy. You can get in trouble if you don't pay attention at all times.

Nice course

I haven't played this course in over ten years. Went out with my 9 year old son and we had a great time. Even though this course is short it is challenging.. Greens and fairways were fine. Finished 18 holes in 3 hours. Kids play free. We will definitely be back.

Nice short challenging course

Had a 12:05 tee time for three. Our third was running late, no problem with starter
pushing us back twenty minutes.
Fun short course with friendly staff.
Greens in very nice shape considering the drought we have been in.
Only gripe is at the turn we wanted to grab a hot dog and a beer but the grill was
lights out and closed ( 3:00 PM)
Look forward to playing here again next
visit to MB.

Tight layout

Course is in decent condition especially considering the long term lack of rain. Greens are very nice, however this is a tight layout. Good course for players who prefer shorter courses.
