Second time around...

Brought two of my high school buddies who live in the Villages. They were impressed with the course layout and the greens. Bev cart girl(Felicity) was a treat. Great service in the lounge after golf. Zoey was great. Great value. Worth the drive. Will play again. Starter and pro shop staff friendly.

Great round and great conditions!!

An amazing opportunity to enjoy a beautiful course. It was evident from the very first tee that a great deal of effort Has gone into maintenance and care of this course. The greens were immaculate. The Fairways were much improved. The tea boxes were fantastic. All I can say is take the short drive over to Silver Spring shore and see for yourself. It’s well worth the trip and worth much more than your charge to play there.

Good value-very slow

We played on a Friday mid-day in early March and found out it is one of their busiest times. They were about 15 minutes behind schedule getting us off the tee. They were short of carts and we had to wait till for one to come in just before our tee time. There was not a starter so we were kind of on our own to figure out the order at the 1st tee. Painfully slow play for the front nine. Opened up on the back but overall close to 5 hours. Very nice layout and the greens were in great condition. The fairways and several of the tee boxes were pretty rough...see pics. A nice layout, especially liked the back nine. Number 18 is an interesting par 5 to finish. Proshop and lounge staff were friendly...philly cheese steak sandwich was good. Given the green fee pricing, it is a very good value.

Poor Pro shop and facilities

The course itself was ok. The fairway grass was a bit sparse in places but generally playable, and the greens were in good shape. The issues were not with the course. There were three of us and they added a single, which we had no problem with. But, the pro shop guy insisted that the single had to ride with one of us. I argued a bit to no avail, but I was not happy. Also, the young guy they added hit from the back tees and we are all seniors, so we hit from the silver tees, which caused us to have an unusally long round - close to five hours.We're not good, but we're usually pretty fast. I can't imagine that it was fun for the single either. Also, on the turn, I went in to use the facilities. I went into the locker room to find that the men's restroom had four urinals and four toilets - AND NO PARTITIONS. Yes, a row of open toilets. I found another restroom on the other side of the building -PARTITIONS BUT NO TOILET PAPER. I'm sure they'll say that they are renovating, but if they are, from the looks of it, they're taking their time.

Great value

Course was in good condition. Greens ran very smooth. Not bumpy at all. However, they were a little bit shaggy wish they were a little faster. Some attention needs to be made with the bunkers standing water, and some of the bunkers. Many of them are little thin on sand. Aside from that it’s always a fun challenging round of golf there.

Always a great challenge

Course is in very good condition. Greens were great, however a tad slower than previous times played. Love the challenge just wish more attention was directed to bunkers cart paths and bathroom facilities out on course. Bathrooms are deplorable. Definitely will be back

Fun round

Great course. Like many Florida courses the fairways are quite thin. However, when you get to the greens, they are like a plush carpet! I would like to be faster but they roll true just a bit slower! Go have some fun. Good value

Slow pace of play

Their tee-times are spaced 6 minutes apart. We had to wait 45 minutes to tee-off because of this. Way overbooked. They need to change to 10 minutes intervals. Once we got to tee-off we waited for every shot. We were a foursome so it’s not like we were extra fast. Will return once the snowbirds leave but will never play in season again. They also left groups start on 10 so as they finished that 9, they had to be placed between groups already waiting to start play. This is no way to run a course. For the few extra dollars you make with 6 minute spacing, you upset every golfer.

Pretty good course.

Greens were beautiful, but fairways were hard as a patio grass. Neat course with a good balance of hazards

Bring your own TP

I hate to start a review about a golf course with a comment about bathrooms but honestly they are horrible. They should just invest in some port a potty’s. The 2 bathrooms are falling apart. No toilet paper or paper towels. One had a nest where an animal was living in the wall. It’s a long course. Nature will call. How hard is it to maintain four bathrooms?
On another note the course itself was in great shape. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great shape.
