Pace of play a problem

There are no starters, so basically you get in line with however many people you want and tee off. We had a group of 6 {six} teenagers in front of us that all played together. Not one of them could play and balls were flying everywhere. Of course they had to go look for them after every shot. There were no marshals to keep any sort of pace of play so it was a disaster! On a good note, the teee boxes were good, and the greens were excellent. The fairways were a little sparse but playable.

Nice layout, friendly staff

Course conditions are holding up well for the winter. Greens are great, healthy and smooth.
If you like doglegs, you've got them here. Great layout for strategic placement of shots. Greens on front 9 are much smaller than the back, requiring accuracy. Borders Ocala National Forest, making it a peaceful place to play.

Good Layout

Don't let the trailer clubhouse and sand parking lot fool you. This is a good golf course that gets better as you play it with many varying holes and lengths, and challenges. Some areas are a bit rough, and certainly not any different than others in February. If there were water everywhere it's designed to be on the front none, this course would be very impressive, but even as is it was a joy to play. I would definitely play it again and tell others to also.

Substandard clubhouse and parking lot BUT really great layout and the best greens in central Florida.
One of my favorite places to play at a fair cost. I am from The Villages and the winter greens fees are not to my liking so always check and see what Golf Now has to offer.
I can save about $30 playing Lake Diamond vs The Villages courses.

Good value for the money

This course is well designed to offer some challenges. This course was in very good shape as compared to many that are not in the area leaving this to be a good value for the money spent. Not sure if the clubhouse situation is a temporary one or not, but I go for the course and not the clubhouse. I will play this course again.

Nice course design

Well designed course and in good shape for this time of year. Back nine was considerably more challenging than the front nine, but overall, a great place to play. We’ll go back again.

Great layout, great greens

Plenty of doglegs to make things interesting. Course is still in good shape, with the greens being exceptional. Place of play was great, since we came across only 3 other people that day. Fun back nine that borders the Ocala National Forest. A real golf course that has not been built for the sake of housing development view lots. Friendly staff and a great value.
