Long ride for a nice course

Played MDCC for the first time. Long ride up 429 but worth the trip. Course was in good shape and interesting layout made for an enjoyable round.
Will definitely return. DO NOT confuse this good track with the other nearby Mount Dora course.

Cool day at White Heron

Got a great golfnow Tuesday deal for my buddy and I. Weather was cold and windy., high 40's to start. Joined a couple for first 2 holes and left them before they reached the 2nd green.
Followed a deuce for the rest of the round but rarely waited for them as pace of play was rapid. We finished in less than 3 hours, playing gold tees for practice in the windy conditions.
Course condition is not as great as the February opening but overall would recommend to anyone looking for a decent course to enjoy. We always have fun at this course. It will test your game.

Great day in the sun

Was able to get a great golfnow today for Grenelefe East on a perfect weather day. Was joined by a Brit on the third hole and waved through by a senior couple on the 5th hole. Teed off at approx 11:15 and were done by 2 PM. I swore 2 years ago that I would not return due to horrendous conditions, but saw recent reviews and decided to get my own view of the course and have played 6 times since October. Congratulations to the limited staff who have done their best to revive this course. I highly recommend this hidden gem SE of Haines City. Played last Saturday and enjoyed food and beverage in the bar. It was all good, served by a friendly staff. A must play! Best advice: keep it in the fairway or your score will rise quickly!

Pleasant Surprise

Played Grenelefe 2 years ago and vowed that I would not play here again for quite some time. Read recent positive reviews and decided to give it a shot. Was pleasantly surprised with the upgraded course conditions, despite some bad spots on some greens which were consistent in speed. Fairways were green and in good shape.
Overall, an enjoyable experience with 2 fine Canadian visitors who also enjoyed the round. Will definitely return and recommend this course to all.

Another great day at Providence GC

Played another enjoyable round at Providence, despite windy conditions. Course is in excellent condition as the overseeding has come in and the greens are in perfect condition and quick. Got a great Golfnow deal which made the round even better. Have never been disappointed playing this course and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a high quality track for a reasonable price.

Great day spent near the beach

Decided to try Bay Club after many years. Opted for the West course and joined a deuce on the 1st green. Had an excellent time with the 2 fine men from Lancaster, Pa. Had a lot of laughs resulting from some not-so-great shot attempts.Weather was perfect for late October and course was in great shape and very fair and playable.
A shout out to ALL the staff who were very cordial and helpful. Much appreciated guys and ladies. Had such a great day that I returned the next day to play the East side. Same warm reception and service, including a rack rate discount. Will definitely return. Thanks to all.

Time well spent

Booked a Golfnow Hot Deal and was well worth the time and costl. Course was in excellent condition considering the lack of measurable rain for the past 100+ days. Greens had been recently aerated, but were consistent and not difficult to read break. Unfortunately, as result of errant shots, I discovered a few bunkers which needed a little work, but they too were predictable. Started the first 3 holes as a single, but was soon joined by a member, Marty, who also was originally from the Philadelphia area. We completed our round in less than 3 hours, as we were basically alone on the course. He had me meet him at the community clubhouse for cold refreshments after our round. I will definitely return to Ridgewood Lakes in the near future as playin this course was time and money well spent

Another enjoyable outing at WCCCC

Played WCCCC on numerous occasions but never during CPO conditions. An earlier evening rain storm drenched certain areas of the course, which prohibited carts but not enough to inhibit shots in fairways, bunkers, etc. Numerous path areas were wet and muddy, but, overall, well worth the Golfnow price
A later predicted storm arrived during the back 9, which ended my round. The fine folks at Golfnow provided a small rebate to ease my pain.
Course is still top notch and is a must play during normal seasonal conditions. The gentleman at the pro shop was friendly and accommodating despite the gloomy morning. I was to be paired later but allowed to start at my discretion as a single.

Just enjoy playing

Have played Mystic Dunes numerous times over the past 3 years and have seen the conditions deteriorate to a very poor state. Now add residential construction and the mess it brings to the mix and conditions are even worse. The course is basically an enjoyable and challenging track and this is why I return despite the conditions. Also, could not pass on the deal offered through Golfnow.
Best advice is to just enjoy the opportunity to play golf and meet new friends. The great bar, located in the clubhouse, makes it an enjoyable spot to rehash the round

A must play

I have played the Champions Gate National course several times and never been disappointed. The course is always in perfect condition from fairway to green and the staff is welcoming and professional. As a single, was able to get an early start, as the starter has been considerate enough to arrange a foursome. This is a "must play" for anyone who wants a picturesque, challenging course and a guaranteed enjoyable experience.

True test of skills

Have played Deerfield numerous times but got a great Golfnow deal. This course is a challenge even for the advanced golfer due to its length, tight fairways and fast greens. It is a true test of skills, as you will need to think your way around and not just pound the ball around the course. Discretion is the best way to manage your game at this course. The views and course condition make it a must play for anyone who wants a great course at a reasonable price. After your round, the bar/restaurant is a great place to relax and enjoy some good food and drink.

I have played the Seaview Bay course numerous times and have never been disappointed. Everything about this course makes it a "must play" for anyone who loves golf. Besides the excellent course conditions, layout, fantastic greens and amazing views, it is an iconic venue rich in tradition and history.

Avoid this course

Arrived in lot and no one was available for assistance.
Went to pro shop, paid and went out to find starter. None available. Grabbed a cart and loaded up. Finally found outside staff, grumpy old man who asked where I got cart. Told him I located it in lot near pro shop entrance. Stated" Oh I wish you hadn't done that" I explained that at most courses,with no one available, you load your cart and head to the tee. He stated" Well we don't do that around here" That is for sure, because with staff like him and sparse, bare fairways, I will never return Greens were fine, 7 on scale of 10

Greens ???

First time playing the course. Was impressed with overall appearance, however greens were terrible: sparse, lumpy, painted green with chemicals, Would not hold good shots. Poor excuse for greens. Price was high considering that there were basically no real greens to putt on.
Very impressed with all staff, especially The Starter. He was very friendly and concerned with making our round an enjoyable experience.
I was asked to delay my tee time, but was rewarded with FREE draft beer with hot dog. Fantastic food/beverage.
Would recommend course but would advise to check on conditions of greens.

Great new course

Very new course with a beautiful layout. No facilities yet but will be fantastic when completed.
Course in amazing condition for a one that is open 1 month. Well manicured. Greens were in excellent condition and extremely fast and consistent throughout all holes.
Was a great experience. Would recommend to anyone who wants to play a great course.
Will definitely return for a demanding test of golf skills.

Hunters Creek

Played the course in the rain. Nice layout but course in poor condition. Thin layer of grass on fairways, Some greens were spotty and fringes were lumpy. Par 3 yardages were definitely not what was stated on scorecard.
Definitely will not return. Course needs quite a bit of work.
