Not that good

I like the course, but greens are unexceptionable speed. Long and slow greens.

Really fun course

I really enjoyed this round with my wife. She and I found it to be reasonably priced for what you get. Could use some new cart paths but overall the tee boxes fairways and greens were in decent shape. Played the sand and bay courses. I loved the layouts. Challenging but fair. Par 3’s are just outstanding holes. Definitely would play again.

Please don't mow while I'm putting

The mower was playing the same holes as we were towards the end of the round. Mower didn't stop when you were on the tee, while approaching or while putting. I was over my ball putting when the mower passed about 10 feet from me. Unique experience. Course was in good shape. Fairly open course with a few challenging holes

Very nice course

We played Piper & Bay and both courses were in excellent conditions. We would play there again if it was a bit cheaper, we used to be able to get better deals in the past. We love their 3 courses: Piper, Bay & Sand. I would recommend the course.

Nice day, well-organized

1st time playing here, played Sand/Piper. Drop bag off, staff brings them down into bullpen area where starter herds the cats into who, where, and when, Greens are excellent, water borders many holes but does not interfere. Can run the ball up into most every hole as greens are elevated slightly. However most fronts are wet and ball will grab. Even saw a few gators!

Good Course, but...

This is a really good course. The conditions have improved a lot since last year. We've been playing it for about 15 years when we are in the area. It's not the most scenic course and the guy checking us in was upset we got such a good deal on GolfNow. He actually had an attitude. Other than that, the cart/bags guys were awesome. Slow front nine but the back was real quick. Will definitely play again.
