I Coułd Be A Member Here!

I always enjoy playing here. Pro shop reception is always friendly and respectful. Good practice range and putting green. The tees, fairways and greens were in good shape as one would expect at a private club. Sand traps were not in consistent condition. The layout is good and winds its way through Lakewood Estates. Lots of challenging par 3's and 4's. Par 5's are OK but not as strong as the other holes in my opinion. The neighbourhood is sketchy in places but is well set back from the course. If I spent more time down here in the winter months I would get a membership. Easy walking course as well.

Great experience

Course was in good shape. Some ground under repair on the fairways but overall good condition. Nice layout with wide enough fairways for playability. Greens were in good shape. Staff was very friendly. Great practice facility. Bar at the end was also a good experience. I will play here again!

Weathered the storm.

I play there because I had a free afternoon and I was close by. The course got pretty beat up from the hurricane, many trees down but looks like they've been doing a lot of work to clean it up. played pretty well, greens were in good shape they had no power inside but that wasn't an issue. The staff was terrific. Pleasant and helpful. It's not Bayhill but I played from the tips and it kept my interest. It wouldn't be a destination course for me but good enough to play every now and then.

Old style layout

Nice flat course. Greens were slow but rolled smooth. Heat index was very high and course didn't run a beverage cart and wouldn't allow coolers. I understand they want to make money, but a cooler for cooling towels wouldn't have hurt.

Started off as one golfer. Several groups let me play though. BUt, then got caught up with two very nice ladies and finished out with them. It was fun.

Course and club is an old venue. I'm sure at one point that it top of line but it is dated. They need a facelift on the facilities and the course. They are doing maintenance on the course but it is dated and needs refreshed. That said, I would still recommend. It was a great day. Not another golfer that we saw on the course.
