Front vs. Back

Course conditions were just okay. Greens were somewhat slow and the sand traps need attention. Pace of play was great on the front (1 1/2 hours) however, the back nine we hit a wall. It took 2 1/2 hours. Followed threesomes that thought they were in a longest drive contest and didn't tee off until the group in front of them were on the green. When they finally did tee off their balls went about 150 yards.
I think I'm done with this course for the rest of the year.

Tranquility Personified

I don't understand why but, we almost had the course to ourselves. We only saw other golfers twice the entire 18 holes. The course and surroundings were pristine. The pro shop and restaurant are very nice as well as the personnel. We definitely will return!

Better than Last Year

The course was not as crowded as I remember from last year. We were paired with two other men. One was from Germany and a lot of fun to play with. Conditions were great. Greens were fast enough at 10 on the meter and grass was green all over. Weather was warm but the wind kept it bearable. Shot a 91 from the blues! Will definitely go back again.

Worth the hour drive

This course is the best I've played so far in S.W. Florida. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was surprisingly green and manicured. I was happy to have been paired up with someone that has played here before because he told me what was ahead before I hit. Water played a big role. Definitely want to play it again!

2015 was better

We played here in late March 2015 and the course was green and lush. The greens were perfect and scored well. This year however, we were somewhat disappointed. The course was not as green and well maintained like we remembered. Leaves littered the tee boxes and greens and the whole course seemed a bit scruffy. We will play here again next time we are in Florida though. The staff was very personable and helpful. Off course amenities are very nice.

Pleasant surprise

This course is probably the best one in the area for the cost. It is in very good shape however, the greens need some attention. You can make it as challenging as you want depending on which tees you use.
I am telling my friends not to miss this golf course!

West to South

We played the West course (9 holes) then the South course (9 holes). The west was the easier of the two. The South has a lot of water in strategic locations that made it difficult. Both nines were in good condition and the fallen leaves were only in the rough so it was important to keep your ball in the fairway if you wanted to find it. I lost 5 balls but found 6 so I felt ahead of the game so to speak. My score was 5 shots better on the west than on the south.

Beautiful up north feel

This course offers it all. There are friendly holes and some holes that will eat you up if your not careful. I birdied one hole and had a par on eight holes however, there was a few double bogies as well. The landscape is hilly with beautiful trees. This was our 4th. time playing here and there will be many more to come. The restaurant has probably the best hot dogs I have ever had!

Good Shape but Slow Play

The course was in a good and green condition. The sprinklers were on in several places so we had to tee off from places other than the tee box. There were a couple very slow twosomes in front of us and also one Dad trying to teach his two sons ages 5 & 9 to play. It was agonizingly slow until they let us play through.

Enjoyable Challenge

I used to play here twice a month for 10 years back in the late 90's early 2000's. It is just as nice now as it was then. The only difference is now there are a lot of areas protected with tall prickley plantings. Keep your ball away from them and you'll be okay.

Surprisingly Plush

We were pleasantly surprised that the course was so green and manicured. Especially after playing so many courses that were burned out due to the heat and lack of rain. The pace of play was great. We teed off at 12:30pm and finished the 18 holes by 3:40pm.
The hot dogs are good too!

Needs Maintenance

I think the grass has a disease. It was very splotchy. The fairways and rough were undistinguishable.

Slow Play

Although the green fees were great, it took us over 5 hours to play. If the foursomes in front of us walked any slower they would be going backwards!
