The fairways and greens were not in very good shape. The course was slow as they had let too many twosomes out.

The layout was very nice, with wide fairways. It was challenging with all the sand traps. The greens were fast and undulating.

The oncouse washroom could have used some tlc, ie. soap.

Martin Downs -

New owner, Stanley Campbell has made some nice upgrades but while the routing is excellent, course conditions require serious improvement.

Excellent course

Love the course. Need a bit more grass in the fairways. The grenntees are to long First women. It is better to mix silver and green and then it is wonderful. Good challenge and bring spare ball for the water!!! You need to tryptophane that golf and challenge the 18th!!!

Awful experience

We arrived at the course to find that tee times were delayed at least 30 minutes . Appears that the delay was due to either overbooking or not monitoring pace of play. After we teed off (late), we waited on every hole. It took our foursome 2 hours and 45 minutes to play nine holes. As we waited for the group in front of us to clear the green, two more foursomes pulled up behind us - a total of 4 foursomes on one Par 3! At that point, we decided to quit and go home. Then there was a large group partying in the parking lot and obstructing traffic. Very disappointed

A totally neglected former gem

I’ve played this course since 2014 when I moved to Florida. This formerly private club has gone downhill every year. New ownership has pledged to restore it but if anything it’s worse now than when they took over a couple of years ago. Greens roll ok but have been invaded with a multitude of grasses. Its only redeeming quality is the great layout. I would not take a visiting guest to this place with so many superior courses in close proximity.
