Don't bother

This course is being let go. Greens are terrible and fairways non existent with spotty grass. Frustrating to play if you are a low handicapper. Never again at any price.

Got wet but finished

Second time played this season. I did a lot better with the wet slower greens. I like the layout and fogive the grounds under repair. Just move to some grass. Got through the first 9 without rain but a wet second 9. Nobody in front of us so finished quickly.

not bad the the money

The course was not bad for the money especially in SW Florida this time of year. However, way too much bareness on the fairways and greens were in pretty poor shape. Pace of play was very slow. We didn't even play the back nine

friendly staff.. busy course

The course layout is good,the staff very helpful,but at this time of year extremely busy..Becasuse of a frost delay and our rather late tee time we were given a nine hole free play .If in the area again we would play here. A great value for money spent in peak season.

Needs more Ranger control

We had a 1:52pm tee time and had to wait for almost 45 minutes for a cart. People need to pickup their pace of play. Staff need to police the pace better. Paid for 18 holes but only could play 9. However, we were told to call in to book another tee time to play another 9 holes for free.

Burnt fairways

Nice course a nice layout but in very poor condition. The fairways need resealing and the back nine in particular were in very poor condition with many areas that were burnt. The greens could use more attention as well at least rolling.

What the course was like - Terrible

I cannot say that any funds have been put into the golf course. The staff were friendly , the restaurant was awesome, but, we failed to find a fairway, as it was all patches of hard soil. no grass ... They want your money, but don't invest it back into the course. How shameful .

Over 4 1/2 hours to play 13 holes! Ridiculous!

They need a ranger to get the people moving or get off the course!

Golf Day

First time out to play at Port Charlotte Golf Club. Really enjoyed it a lot. The course wasn’t overly demanding and I liked the wider fairways. Glad there were a few Par 5 holes. Staff were terrific.
Will come again. Lots of fun.

Thanks

Very poor fairway and putting green turf quality.

Threatened to take flags out at 530p and expected carts to in by that time, 45 minutes before dark. No indication of the time limit when we booked.
