Oh no not the Prince!

Played Prince and King, DONT PLAY FHE PRINCE. tee boxes fairways, traps and greens were in poor condition. Especially #7. I thought of taking pictures but didn’t, regret that decision too.

Somehow a group was put in front of us when we made the turn, two new golfers. Terrible.

Staff is the best thing going for it.

Full course, slow play, poor conditions and no beverage cart.

Disappointed

I don’t know why I was excited to play this course but it was a let down. Poor signage coming in, poor signage on the course, and no hole signs or map except the card.

The inside staff and starter were very nice. The snack shack attendant didn’t seem to concerned on leaving a positive impression.

I won’t be back.

Glad I found this place

From the ladies in the golf shop, to Keith at the bag drop, the starter, and the folks at Mulligans, this is a great place to play. You can see they are working to improve the course conditions. The pace of play is excellent even though the course is very booked.

What a nice surprise

I’m coming back...pace of play was fantastic, 3 1/2 hours, greens were very nice, pretty wet around the greens and some fairways. Staff, from the bag drop, the starter and club house were helpful and friendly. This course will get a lot of repeat business

It was fine

nice par fours. Starter and club house attendant were very nice, thank you. The bar and “restaurant “ were not worth the stop. I don’t think our business was appreciated by the bar tender, she preferred to sit and talk to her friend. Maybe that’s why it was empty.

Nice

I’ve played here many times as a local snowbird. Pace of play today was great. Staff very nice. The cart guys did a great job of tweaking the pairings, I was a single, to optimize the pace of play. Course conditions are pretty consistent, , some poor greens, it’s what it has been for many years. Range was beat up but that’s what is their norm.

The Best

The LPGA complex is the best golf course within 45 miles of Daytona Beach. It is really a 5 star facility. All those other courses with 3 or 4 stars are so over rated. What is more surprising is the horrible conditions of the rest of the golf courses in the Daytona Beach area.

If you want a great layout, great course conditions, and wonderful golf golf experience this is where you will find it.

Plan 4.75 hours

Staff very friendly, best thing going for it. Pace of play typical 4.75 hours for Halifax, it’s always slow and crowded. That’s the pace a play you expect for a very difficult high end course but shouldn’t be for this course. They should change to ten minutes before each tee time, but of course then they would lose the revenue from all the snowbirds. I called the golf shop when we had three groups on the fourth hole but that didn’t help. Remained that way through out the long afternoon. Sand traps excellent, greens are poor, fairways minimal grass, tee boxes crowned. No way it’s 4 stars. It’s a value on a $30 hot deal but no way at the regular green fees of $45.

Play here!

A few people said to play here, I’m sorry I waited so long to take their advice.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the restaurant. Excellent service and quality of food.
Range was very nice, good balls and grass, Halifax Plantation pat attention.
Course had a nice layout but it’s strength is overall condition. Tee boxes, fairways, traps and greens are some of the best in Daytona. Happy to play on the greens, a little slow but full and in great shape.
Give this place a play, you will be very happy with it. Puts to shame many courses in Daytona, specifically Halifax Plantation, Riviera, Cypress.

Nice

Best greens I’ve played, a little firm but so nice. Nice course layout, friendly staff. Could use better signage, I was lucky to play with some ladies that knew were to go. Fairways, traps and tee boxes were good. Stay off the cart paths or you might break a tie rods on the carts. Great value.

A shame

If the greens were even decent this might be the best course besides LPGA. Fairways were excellent, tee boxes pretty good, nice layout, but oh my the greens. I believe some were painted green over dirt.

The staff was excellent, from the bag drop, shop staff, and starter. I would suggest you have your bev cart personnel go against play rather than with the flow of play.

Really if they get there greens together this will be a great place to play.

It was ok

This course has a very nice layout. Greens were in poor condition. Tee boxes average, fairways average, traps good. Pace of play here is always an issue. We had three groups on most holes, one one the box, one in the fairway, and one on the green. Pretty much all day. Range is in poor shape. Putting green has a few rough spots, indicative of the greens. As a hot deal, good value at $30.00. I would never pay the full price of $47.00 to play.

Great layout

What a great layout. Tee boxes and fairways were in very good condition. Sand traps seemed light on sand, club may bounce off the hard bottom. Greens were very poor, patchwork repairs, thin grass, prevent a nice roll. Staff was decent but never saw a starter or ranger. Restaurant staff seemed under staffed.

Fantastic

I don’t know how all these other dog tracks can score four’s, but this course is clearly a 5 star, the best in the area. Played the Hills course, conditions were excellent, pace of play fantastic (teed of at 2:45) off the course by 6. Staff was excellent. Only negative was the putting green speeds were much quicker than the actual course greens.

Just ok

The staff advised that course conditions were wet, very wet. Fairway grass is extremely thin on grass, some tee boxes were more sand than grass. Traps and greens were good to very good. No hole descriptors to be found anywhere. Played with two locals who were great partners. They felt lace of play was slow for this course. We played in just under four hours, seems fast for Florida.

Don’t waste your time or money

I played here a couple years ago. It was a hot deal at $25, don’t know that it’s worth that. Tee boxes and greens were nice, and it means the best part of a mediocre course. Traps are horrific, more like pea gravel and sea shells. Place was packed and pace of play was just short of five hours. Ridiculous.

Don’t play on Monday

I don’t know what others saw in this course. Greens were nice, sand was nice, and layout is nice. Everything else is marginal. Every Monday there is a group that has a shotgun outing. Pace of play was very poor. I think one of the guys said they play one other day. I got the hot deal at $30. Per player, it later became available at $14. Tee times on golf now could not have been accurate as the shotgun took up 9 times before us yet golf now indicated they were available. Goal of the course according to the mission statement was to be the best in Tallahassee, great goal but a very long way from achieving the goal.

pace of play sucks

I have played this course several times and the pace of play continues to get slower. Plan on 5 hours. Snack shack after number 9 on the Hills course was closed, no beverage cart available on the back nine. Staff is aware of the poor pace of play but seems nothing is in place to pick up the pace. No ranger, no monitoring of pace of play. Very disappointing. The perception is that the management isnt going to spend the labor dollars to improve the hospitality end of their business.
