Must have been something in its day

You can see the "age" in the design, but that is not a bad thing sometimes.

Time has ravaged it a bit, however. The cart paths are worn and in need of repair, the carts are limping along, the tee boxes could use a good trimming, and boy oh boy does this course ever need an irrigation system!

(and a ranger!!)

That being said, if someone could put a bunch of $$$ into it I'd play it again. The layout is nice, the water is in play but not hidden in any way, and some of the tee boxes were (at one time) probably really special with the added elevations and features.

Maybe I'll try it again after several days of rain. :)

Crane review

My wife and I played on 3/26 Enjoyed the round.
I have to say, and maybe it’s due to the amount of play. The course has gotten over the last couple of months. The conditions of many off the greens and the Tee boxes has deteriorated. They are probably going to wait till after the season to aerate both and reseed. But overall for the money, it’s a decent run. I will go back and play at Hope conditions on the tea boxes and several of the greens improve.

Nice course, not so difficult. Greens are OK, some parts need more work to looks better.

Bad

The course is in bad shape. Greens had trails of sand to hit through. Did not enjoy it at all.

Tough

It’s $40 to play winter golf in Florida. Just know… Burnt spots on every green. Tractors on the back half courses. Very rough track to play. Balls will land in fairways and roll 100yards into the water because the fairways are concrete.
Course is very poorly managed.
There is not a starter.
At the end of the round, my group was chirped by the staff employee for not leaving a tip for the cart getter. Very odd experience and would recommend if you cannot golf at your local mini putt course.

Needs improvement

Gave CW another chance seeing there was a good hotdeal... aside from playing a full round under 3 hours (solo) it was disappointing

Greens were sanded and in bad condition. Several burned out / bald spots throughout excepts for a few on back nine. Tee boxes (middle) were in poor shape.

Having played w this track several times before and when it was Evergreen, this is the worst condition yet. Shame, the layout is decent. Hope they get this back on track

Kinda Just is What it is...

I get it, its winter in Florida and i just paid only 65 bucks to golf, but come on. To start there is no starter so beware. The locals will take advantage if you don't speak up. Second the greens look like they all have diseases. It's sad because its a nice property and the track has potential. Its worth about 20 bucks here in a couple months. They would be better served shutting it down for the summer and just getting it cleaned up.

Disappointed

Course is not well maintained. Fairways were bad, greens were in rough shape and tee boxes were very bad. Decent layout but they don’t take very good care of the place.
