Some good, some not so good

First the positives:
--Layout still one of the best in Central FL. Fantastic.;
--Serene and peaceful - not many homes on the course, lots of wildlife around and just a great place to play
--Greens rolled good and true for the most part.
--Nobody out there so great pace of play
Not so good:
--Fairways and rough not as they should be. LOTS of crabgrass
--Lots of bugs/flying insects. And I played midday, I cannot imagine what it would be like in the afternoon/evening.
Overall worth it for the right price. Would be one of the best courses around if they landscaped better and the fairways/rough were up to par

Interesting first time

Very interesting course. First time here and lost alot of balls because we were not sure of where to hit. Thought we had made good shots, then got there and could not find them. Would play much different next time. Fun layout (once you learn it) Lots of doglegs and trouble in the driving lanes. Good condition and a positive surprise

Great Change of pace

Haven't played in a year or 2. In very good shape. Most of greens are true if not a little slow. Great change of pace to other Central FL courses with the hills and elevation changes and views! Recommend highly! Lots of Fun

Best in years

We play this course every summer for last 30 years. It has fallen in serious disrepair over last nunber of years. While is not back to where it was, it was a pleasant surprise this year! Greens, while a bit slow were tru and actually looked great- only a few bad spots. Not as many weeds on the fairway and fairways and rough could be (somewhat) distinguished-- this may not seem like alot but a huge improvement from years past. One of the best layouts PERIOD you will find anywhere. Thankful it is starting to come back and I hope they continue

Terrific!

Last played this course 2 years ago. While the amenities (clubhouse and roads) still under construction, the improvements to the course itself is amazing. Super top notch. Greens true and fast, rough penal and traps strategic. Very tough, but fair!

Rough shape

Played this course a bunch of times over the years. Very unique and quirky layout. Would not want to play it every day but a nice change of pace. WHEN it is in good shape. It is however in very rough shape right now. As bad as I have seen it. Not worth it when it is in this condition

Thank you for taking the time to review the course.

We just began a major renovation that includes:
- Resurfacing greens to be restored to their original shape and size with Tif-Eagle Bermuda grass.
- Level and re-grass tees, fairways, and rough using Celebration Bermuda grass.
- Overhaul and restore bunkers and dunes to their original shape and condition.
- New driving range tee, chipping, and putting green, all enlarged and resurfaced.
- Improve and repair drainage throughout the course.
- Significant tree enhancements around the property with native trees and wildlife.

We hope you'll join us for another round after the renovation is complete!

Solid

Made the drive down from Orlando due to all the 4.5 and 5 STAR ratings, Worth the price we paid on Tee-Off and a Solid, nice course but nowhere near a 4.5 star course. No idea how it gets rated that, Not in the stratosphere with another Lakeland course CLUB AT EAGLEBROOKE or Orlando area courses like Rosen Shingle Creek, OCN, Omni Championsgate, Celebration, Southern Dunes etc and son on.

Over-rated

Came from Orlando because of the reviews. Not a bad course at all - solid - and worth it for the Tee-Off price we paid. However disappointed because it is NOT a 4.5 Star course as its being reviewed. For example, not in the same stratosphere with Lakeland course Club at Eaglebrooke nor Orlando courses like Omni, O.C. , Shigle Creek, Celebration etc, etc.

Terrific as always. Not particularly long for those long hitters out there, but challenging enough. Great shape and greens are coming back really nicely after the recent aeration. One of my favorite courses in the area

Course coming back

Always thought this was among the best layouts in all of Central Florida. But the last time I played here a couple of years ago, it was in really bad shape. Seeing the recent reviews, I figured I would give it another try. Positives: layout is still fantastic(A+) and greens were excellent (A-). Fairways and Tee boxes (C) while not great were very much improved from last time. Its, still not quite back, but a good value and if it keeps this trajectory, will be among the best.

Not Back yet

After reading some of the reviews I decided to yet again give Kissimmee Bay of shot. Last time I played a few years back it was a disaster. I must say I was disappointed this time. While many of the fairways and Tees were in better shape to be sure, there were still too many disaster spots. In addition, the greens were awful. It was not just the aeration issues…. there were huge sections of many of the greens that were inexplicable. And very hairy and SLOW SLOW SLOW. Baby steps in the right direction and perhaps with some more work it may get back, but I wouldn't suggest falling for the reviews just yet

in Fantastic shape!

From tees to fairways to greens- course is in immaculate shape and condition - among the best in the area. Great golf experience - everyone there is very helpful and the range with free balls is perfect. If it was not for I4 traffic at Championsgate, I would play here more often and this might be the preeminent central Florida golf experience. Unfortunately it is such a hassle getting in and out on I4

Great layout - bad conditions

I would imagine this was a great course at one time. Layout really cool and some interesting holes. However it is in bad shape- greens, tees and fairways need desperate help. If fixed I would be back, but not under these conditions. If in Titusville, play Great Outdoors (I would 7 days a week and twice on Sundays) - WAY better condition

Brutal

Played course 25 times in last 3 years, great layout and conditions usually v good. Played twice in last 3 weeks and absolutely horrendous. Beyond wet. My group lost 8 balls in fairways and in front of greens because they plugged. Workers and especially the GM refused to admit not apologize for it. Junior tournament played right before us, and were complaining up a storm as well after. Having a beer after (spending more money) and commiserating with parents of kids who just went thru heck trying the play the course, the GM came out and told us all to "stop complaining or he would call security!!"! Absolute truth. In 35 years of playing golf never seen that before.

Needs some work, but still great course

Rumors of Timacuan's demise are greatly exaggerated. While there are a few issues with some of the greens, by and large not too bad and they are working on it. Fairways a bit brown and dry but does not effect play much. Still one of the top 5 layouts in Central Florida - unique, challenging, fun and different .

Only issue I have is the inconsistencies of the greens. Some were lightning fast, and others (mostly the ones that had some dead patches) were a bit hairy and quite a bit slower. Makes it tough to read greens when speed vary so much from hole to hole

Great, fun short course

Short and have to play 9 holes twice, but as always fun. ***TIP play the front tees the first time thru and the back the second time thru to mix it up. Greens coming back after recent aeration, almost back the the perfect shape they are normally in

Hidden Gem

Still one of the very good, unknown gems in central FL. The greens were not as good as last time I played, but they were at the end of the aeration, so. Great layout, rest of course i very good shape and staff is amazingly friendly. Highly recommend
