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.

Ranger needed

The front nine played in 2 hours. About the 12-13 hole things came to a halt. We were so backed up that we took a ride forward and found a foursome with 4 holes open in front of them. I attempted to call the pro shop but I got a recording saying line was busy. When we mentioned that there were four holes open shed to the slo pokes they threw a hissy fit and informed me that they are residents and play at that time weekly and they know the course better than anyone. This course needs a ranger so these interactions between players are not necessary.

Still OK

Crane Watch is a nice layout with enough water and bunkers to keep you thinking - but enough space to keep you swinging hard. I've played it twice within a few months. There has been a lot of talk about the owner making improvements - but the tractors sitting on the golf course appear to be collecting dust. Traps, tee boxes and fairways are average. Greens are hit or miss - some with bare spots, some with weeds. Staff are friendly and its a laid-back crowd. No starter at all this time.

Tired

Staff is friendly. Practice facility is probably the best thing at this location - good turf, balls & targets with practice chipping/bunker area w/green. Middle, middle-forward and standard/senior front boxes are heavily used. Lots of debris and leaves everywhere off the fairway. I guess for less than $50 per person, including the cart it is suitable.

Worth playing here

This was my third time playing this course. Enjoy the layout and it is good value based off other courses in the area. The pace of play was reasonable. The staff are awesome and want you to have a positive experience. I am leaving the area but will definitely keep it on my list for next year when return.
