Used cart

Mixed Bag

I have been here about 10 times and pace of play is always an issue, but for the price you deal with it, however almost 5 hours on a Wednesday? It was cart path only and the drunk group in front of us had a hard time walking back and forth to the cart, then I saw this group after the round do something I have never seen at a course before. They were all urinating in the lot and yucking it up. Bathroom was 50 feet away. I did say something to who I though was an employee, to be fair he might not of been who said "well when you gotta go you gotta go". New carts are nice but the GPS is all wonky and shutting the carts down all the time. That needs to be fixed. Employees agreed it was a nuisance. I'll go back but if the same things happen I wont go again.

OK for what it is

Short 18 hole course that plays a little longer because of the layout. Extremely walkable. Course was in good shape considering time of year. HIgh Tension wires come into play on a few holes. Pace is slow, and you really need to be aware of your surroundings as many tee boxes are very close to the greens' of other holes. Overall nice course to get get the irons out, you can use driver on some holes but it' very tight. Price is right and staff is friendly. There is a Top Golf type place right next door called Golf 390.

Nice Course

Course was in incredible shape for February. Straight forward layout with not a lot of trouble. I was told by my partners that weekends in the summer can lead to 6 hour rounds. I have no clue as this was my first time. I'll try in the summer and if the rounds are that long I just wont play it again. I hope not though as it was a really nice reasonably priced course.

Tight and fairway bunkers make it tighter

This is a very nice well unkept facility especially this late. No range. They have one close but it’s offsite. If they had a range I’d give it a 5. I feel the fairway bunkers are unfair because of yardage placement and the way they jut into already narrow fairways, but overall a very nice course.

Nice Track

This is a really nice course with great practice facilities and clubhouse. Staff is friendly. Only complaint I have is the greens are very difficult. Unkept well just tons of breaks with many of them subtle and even triple breaking on a 15 footer.

Thank you Rangers

Overall I really like this course and have played it a lot. One negative for me has always been slower play with rangers not really moving things. This day was different. A foursome who thought it would be a smart idea to give lessons every swing eventually has almost a 2 hole gap in front of them even after being talked to. Rangers then moved groups in front of them. Pace was fine after that. Really nice to see

Unfair greens but good overall

Course is upkept well with nice practice facilities. You really need someone who has played the course a few times with you to help on approach shots. The greens are like mini golf. You hit what looks like a decent approach and see where you are and hope to 3 putt.

Overall a nice facility

First the positives. The facility is top notch. Great practice facilities, club house and restaurant. Employees are friendly. Overall shape of course is pretty good. Negatives. Tee boxes are beat up and pace of play is slow. Rangers try to move things along but the course gets way overbooked. Tee boxes most likely reflect the overbooking.

Great 9 hole

Staff does a great job here. It can get backed up but for the price that’s expected. The bunkers have been a problem for awhile but looks like they are working on them. One word of warning. Houses are close and the owners can be very territorial. If you even think your ball rolled their property just take a drop by their staked property line.

Great course but bunkers need work

Overall great for a fair price. Restaurant is good. One huge negative bunkers are horrible. Bad sand is one thing but this is like concrete mix with the rocks that are in there. Our foursome just took the balls out. No sense ruining a wedge. That’s nit picky though like I said the workaround is just take the ball out.

Odd layout

Get there and pay for range balls only to be told no carts to the range or lot. What is this Augusta? Long walks to range and back to carts. Then start filling my cart only to be told “leave space you’ll be riding with someone”. No where on social media does it say no single riders or in literature. After saying I want a refund or let me out in the cart w/o someone I have never met they let me go out alone. Course set up is a recipe for disaster and we almost got hit 4 times. Tee boxes are extremely close to the previous hole’s green. Best I can say is it was a good value. Won’t be returning. 3 other people I was paired with were there for the first time and also said they won’t be returning. Staff was friendly.

Great except for goofs walking on the cart path

Overall great especially considered the time of year. Some oblivious people were walking on the cart path like a Sunday stroll and wouldn’t get off even when told they just kept walking. Club house should have done something, maybe they did and I just don’t know about it

Great Course but bunkers need better sand

Overall this is a great course that has nice practice facilities. Course was in good condition but the bunker sand was very hard. Really doesn’t bother me much as I’ll just take the ball out but it may bother some.

Very Accommodating staff

I arrived on the 23rd at about 11:15 for a 11:40 tee time. Went to check in and ooops discovered I booked for a week later. Front desk staff couldn’t have been nicer as they waited for me to cancel and rebook for 11:40 that day as he generously squeezed me in. Really great customer service

Overall Nice Experience

On vacation and played this course based on a referral. Nice practice facilities and the course was in good shape. Golfers I was paired with were locals and very cordial, however be aware this course is surrounded by a condo complex and many residents are members. It can get a little territorial. I would play the course again

A gem with great staff

In for vacation and played this course twice. Staff was extremely friendly and course conditions were good. Nice practice facilities. Pace of play was a little slower but I was on vaca so I didn't care. If you are staying by the beach in the Clearwater area do yourself a favor and travel a bit to golf here. About a half hour ride from the shore.

We aren’t Pros

First the positives. Course is very well maintained with great practice facilities. Staff is friendly. The fairways are very narrow and the way they have the tee boxes set up it is very easy to hit into people. Heard a lot of “Fore”. The greens are ridiculously hard. If you are the type of golfer that likes getting a good tee shot off then have the approach land on the green then pray you don’t 4 Putt this is the course for you. People in my group and the group behind us were all in the 10-20 handicap range and the lower guys were having a hard time breaking 90. Pace of play was 5 hours for a weekday and I am sure it’s the greens that slow things down. Now maybe if you play this course enough and get the greens down you can score well but maybe the place just isn’t for me.

Nice Course

Very nice course. It is shorter but it plays more difficult than the card would indicate. Course was in good condition, some of the tee boxes were rough but it looks like they were about to move them to better grass. Staff was very friendly and they had beverage carts going around. NIce restaurant and amenities, the only downside is no range, but there are a few places close you can go. Not just a knock on this course but people need to fix their ball marks. Arlington even passes out free tools, no excuse for the greens to look like a waffle iron. Again not the course's fault I'm sure they do the best they can fixing them.

Course has Improved

My first time here this year was a struggle. Bunkers were horrible and pace of play was ridiculously long. This last Sunday was a completely different experience. Round started at 10:50 and ended in 2 hours. Bunkers were a lot better but can still be improved. Definitely will be back
