Revised Rio

Rio has been through some modifications, a few extra bunkers, etc. Restaurant had a much needed overhaul and they now have carts with GPS. They do need to modify the sensors on the carts to allow driving in the rough and tree lines without shutting down or slowing to a crawl. It would speed things up. Greens were in great shape and rolled true.

A Royal Gem

One of my favorite courses in Central Florida. RSC is always in great shape and is a fun layout. We travel about 35 miles to play here, but it is well worth the ride. We did get stuck behind a foursome of young fellas who didn’t know golf etiquette, rules, and had no sense of urgency while we waited on every shot though. Wish a ranger would have come around and had them pick up the pace. The were scrambling too. Rated staff friendliness low because the gentleman behind the counter had some attitude which was unnecessary. Highly recommend the course and it’s 3 nines.

Reworked

Wow! So many changes to the course since last time I played it. Green complexes moved, water relocated, green size increased ( rare these days), and some bunkers removed and some added. Great condition and it was nice to be able to put this course back on our playlist.

Better than it used to be.

Course was recently aerated which happens but there were also a lot of weeds and bunkers had hardly any sand. Course plays longer than yardage.

Tight and wet

First time playing this course. Greens were in good shape but wouldn’t hold an approach shot. Tight fairways and water everywhere. Carts were fast and beers were cheap.

Greens were in excellent condition. Fairways looked like they had a lot of recent rain but were fine. Two negatives 1) no usb in cart 2) course didn’t show up on GPS search.

Good deal

Used a hot deal in this day. Tee time was 1125 and was paired up with 3 others. Pace was very good, but can be slow on this course often. Back 9 has a bunch of par 3’s, that may be why. Good value course.

Royal gem

One of my favorite courses in Central Florida. We drive nearly 40 miles but it is well worth it. The layout is superb and management has done a great job with upgrades during the pandemic. This course has 3 nines ( British, Scottish, and Irish). We played all 3 and pretty much had the course to ourselves. My only gripe is they want to charge $10 for single riders, that is not conducive to social distancing, and we had a frontline healthcare worker with us.

Friendly fire

Played Falcon’s Fire twice now in the last 4 weeks. It’s in great shape and now at a reasonable rate since there are few tourists in town. This course usually runs $80 or more, we played for $28. Nice layout and fair to play.

One of my favorites in the area. Always in great shape and greens are true. I love the 2 different courses in one. Front 9 plays like a links and back is traditional Florida.

Consistent

Ventura is always in very good shape. Even with all the rain we have had the last few days. Cart path only on about 5 holes but that was fine. A little slow on the front but once we paired up with 2 others it helped a lot.

Short and sweet

This course always impresses me with how well maintained it stays. Summer time is best to play because it remains booked solid from snowbirds. This date was cart path only due to amount of rain lately but pace remained excellent.

One of my favorites

I love Northshore. The set up of 2 totally different 9’s is a great concept. Links style on the front and Florida classic on the back. Always in great shape. They could have used a starter on the day we played because it was crowded and needed to be timed out better.

Course is in great condition. Will be even better next week. They just over seeded the winter rye last week and it's looking good. Greens are in good shape. Multiple maintenance crews out working. Short course but fun. Allows short irons into the green.

Northshore is my favorite course in Central Florida. The 2 totally different nines are a nice touch. Fairways were not in great shape this time but our weather and hurricane has caused havoc. Greens are in great shape so I can overcome fairway issues.

Tough one

Played here for the 1st time in a few years. The price was right as it usually goes a lot higher. Course was in good condition considering it has been so wet. Wind was kicking which really made this challenging layout even tougher. Some very technical holes, especially #2. I will play it again this season.

Post storm

Ventura was in great shape considering we were hit by a hurricane 5 days prior. The course was still very wet and a few trees were down but they did a great job having it ready. Short course but a fun layout usually leads to good score. Greens are in great shape.

Played this course on July 8th without knowing it. It was in great shape. Greens and fairways were fantastic and the price was real good on GolfNow. I will play this course again when I visit the area next.
