Martin Downs Country Club - Osprey Creek Course

Only three stars for amenities since kitchen is closed for remodeling and there was no courtesy cart on the course. Would have been nice to know this ahead of time. Loved playing the course. Pretty layout with wide fairways.

I have not played at this course in several years because it was in bad shape. Today I learned that it’s actually gotten worse. The greens have a “patch quilt” surface including, the practice screen. The fairways are brown and riddled with weeds and the bunkers do not have sand; rather, they have something that is like a clay. Friendly staff.

Pro shop way out of way. Course is all dried out with weeds growing in sand traps. No play to warm up. No halfway service after 3. No ice at 230. Place has potential but needs so much work.

This course definitely has potential to be a Florida gem. The main issues are the hard pan fairways that are cut so tight it’s hard to control iron play . This course needs to be resuscitated with lots of water. The people at the course were friendly and I loved the snack shack between the 4th and 5th hole. I hope the summer rain brings this course to life.

Course is in terrible shape. Rock hard, could not use a wedge or lofted iron. Greens need weed killer. Entire course needs watering!

For $25, the course was as expected; you get what you pay for! Does course condition really even matter if you are dog water at golf anyway??

Disappointed in the conditions at Martin Downs at this time of year. The fairways and greens need significant maintenance. The bunkers need sand and grooming. Course was in much better condition in 2023 and 2022. The round played quickly at just under 4 hours - only good news. The staff are still excellent. Hopefully the course conditions will improve.

You can't get better for the money. Staff friendly and always enjoy.

Course is slowly improving, it is obvious the new management is working hard to bring this course back to what it once was. Workers all over course working on green and bunkers. My guess is by next year it will be greatly improved. Friendly and helpful staff, keep things moving, have played here a lot and always play 18 holes in just over 4 hours.

Wide fairways, mounds, many sand traps, greens hard to read

The greens were full of sand and not aerated.
No driving range.
Fairways were hard as a rock in need of water

Courses getting better needs more green work great layout
