Course was ok, no mention of the 6th hole being closed off for the entire fairway being renovated by the staff or the booking app.

Nice course

Nice course. Greens are very fast and course in good shape. A few holes need some fairway love but pretty nice on the majority.

Course was in good shape we could see where the greens were punched previously but were growing in nicely did not affect ball roll on any of the holes.

great value

We played this course on a Sunday and other than the twosome ahead of us we rarely saw another golfer. The greens looks like they were punched 3 weeks ago but they were relatively true to putt.
The only negative about this course is the lack of water and restrooms on the course

Close to St Pete Beach

Eckerd college home golf course is convenient. Greens were just top dressed making it difficult to rate course. Good variety of holes and straight forward design making a circle.

Great course: getting a little dry, but overall in good shape. Sand traps could use some fresh sand in some of them.

A lot of fun

We played at 1:22 pm. Course was not too busy on this day. Conditions were fine, fairways were for the most part very good, although some were a little bare of grass. However, the greens were lightning fast. A couple of greens needed work! But just move your ball and all is good. Very nice layout. The circular layout is unique, no parallel fairways. Water on a lot of holes, but easy enough to stay out. We had a twilight rate, and a reduced rate on rental clubs, as they were not the best, but not bad. Would recommend for sure. Staff the very best.

Course is past its prime

Very tired looking. Not like pictures. Really not a four star for the price. Played Mantee Golf Course a couple of days before and it was in much better condition than this course but rated lower on GolfNow from reviews.

Fairways and greens were average at best.

You can get a lot better for the price.
