Fantastic Day

Upon arrival the complimentary valet parking took over, loaded the clubs, point the way and took the car.
Went to see the starter where range balls, chipping and putting area are located, all included. We were given water, towels, tees, divot tool, ball markers. The starter gave us pointers and someone came to check on us 4 holes later to ensure all was well. The course was in perfect condition. The only thing that could be improved was our play. It seemed as if we were the only people on the course, luckily hit a quiet day. Perfect.

Enjoyable day

The day was very windy which made things a little difficult. Greens were fast and generally smooth. Fairways and tees a little dry. Staff was great.

Great Value

We were located in Kissimmee and it was a long drive (30 min.) on I4 to get to the course. Once we arrived we were warmly greeted by the starter who knew something about Canada and we had a good talk with him.
The course was not too busy and we played in 3.5 hours. As a twosome it would have been better to play with 2 others but the 2 in front and the 2 behind all wanted to play alone so there was a lot of waiting.
Fairways and tees were in good shape for this time of year. Greens were fast and putted true despite the fertilizer on top that we were not warned about. Pin placements were devilish on top of ridges and mounds all day. This made putting quite a challenge.
Play from the correct yardage tees for you and it should be a fine day of golf.

Fine for the price

We were able to play for $13 so it was a good deal. We had played this course in years past and the conditions have deteriorated seriously. Many different types of grass in the green, growing at different lengths. Many burnt areas in the greens and fairways. The whole course needs some TLC.

Good Value

The price was right ($40) for a course in such excellent condition. Staff was welcoming and helpful. We were put together with another great couple. Course was in great condition. It was helpful to play with someone who knew the course as the back 9 required course knowledge. Putting green was much faster than the course. I would recommend this course as it is wide open and good for those on vacation who might not have golfed for a few weeks/months. I would return for this price.

Good course for the money

Staff very friendly and helpful. My wife forgot her golf shoes and was able to purchase a pair for a good price. Course in good shape, paired us with 2 others to keep the pace of play moving. Played in 4.5 hours, not bad for a Sat. afternoon and considering the long rides between some of the hole. Greens were a good speed but a little bumpy in places. Fairways in very good condition. Will play there again.

A fun course to play.

This is an older style course and not too long. Good yardage for the ladies. Easy from 6000 yards. More of a challenge from back tees. There are a few challenging holes off the tee that open up after. Short is almost always better than long.

November not the right time to play.

Over seeding in effect which does affect the course conditions. Playing at another time of year would be much better. The grass on the tee box was as long as my tee. Fairways had not been cut in over a week and were quite shaggy, greens not much better. We were able to play for $17 so it was not bad.

Reception in the pro shop was excellent.

Always enjoy the layout.

My wife and I play each time we are in the area. We really enjoy the layout. Over seeding in effect so that has to be taken into account.

Reception at bag drop is great, in the pro shop not so much.

good condition, lots of challenge

The course was in good shape for the most part. The traps needed attention. Lots of elevation changes, the biggest I have seen in Florida. Greens were over seeded but still in good shape.

Big problem was pace of play. We were 30 minutes behind on our booked Tee Time and still took almost 5 hours to play.

Nice layout, a little tight.

Enjoyed the days, greens very very true and quick. No problem getting out but followed mini tour event and not told about that. They were very deliberate on the greens.

Conditions were good and staff friendly. Will play here again next trip. My wife (22 handicap) really enjoyed the course.

Got a great deal on GolfNow for this course.

The course is always in very good condition. Playing from the tips was a challenge (7 handicap) but fun. Fairways and rough were lush, this was a very dry summer and the course was kept green. The greens could be a little quicker. Overall an excellent value.
