A challenging course inside of a beautiful gated community. There are many scenic golf holes and a good variety of layout and hazards. It is a nice track and will likely play again.

Good Layout, Been In Better Shape

In fairness to the course, it has been a brutally dry winter with draught conditions, and they are working on addressing some issues. All the tee boxes are in poor condition and need to be resodded now. Most of the white tees were moved up from their typical locations. The greens were very slow but are in good condition. I hope they can fix the tee boxes and thin spots in the fairways quickly. This can be a fun course to play. The other county course, Bufalo Creek is in much better shape.

Nice Public (County) Course Worth Playing

MGC is a fair, but challenging course to play. The course conditions were good except for a few tee boxes. The only complaint was that a foursome started in front of us on #10 at the turn which required us to wait before teeing off and played slow which made the back nine less enjoyable than the front.

Thumbs Up

This was a very fun course to play, the wind made it extra challenging on the day we played it. The course was in good condition, the greens held nicely, and had undulations that added a layer of difficulty on some puts. At the right price, this is a must play course if you are in the Lakeland area. The last two holes are great finishing holes.

Upscale course with downscale services

I played the Golden Palm followed by the Blue Monster a couple of days later. Both courses are nice, the Golden Palm was a better value. Where the resort falls short is with their amenities. To be fair I was aware of this from reading previous reviews, but I will share my experience. First, there isn't a bag drop near the cart area and they charge $10 to park your car that requires a shuttle to the cart area with your bags (gratuity expected). The start was okay and with a very nice practice area. The real rub was after finishing the Blue Monster on the second day, we were expecting a shuttle from the cart area to the area where another shuttle takes you to the parking area. We were told we would have to carry our bags to the parking lot shuttle which was several hundred yards away. My playing partner commented that he was 70 and didn't want to carry his bag and accessories that far. The response was pretty much, sorry but you have to carry your bags (after the first round we did have someone shuttle us to the parking lot pick up point). Once we got to the parking lot pick up point, there was no shuttle. After waiting for 5+ minutes in the heat, we got frustrated and walked to the parking lot. Based on this experience, we will likely not be returning to play here again.

Awesome course worth playing, very challenging.

This is a very challenging, but fun course to play. The fairways were in good condition and the greens were in excellent condition. Some traps needed grooming, but I will attribute that to covid precautions (although there were rakes out). The course was hilly with several greens that were extremely elevated and there are many blind shots. The only complaint I have as a first time player is that the score card did not have the hole layouts, so from the tee and even on occasion the fairway is was difficult to know the layout of the hole. In fairness to that, the fairway landing areas are mostly generous. I would definitely play this course again if I return to this area.

Nice course, definitely worth playing.

The was a fun and challenging course to play. The course conditions were good for this time of year. The front nine has a lot of elevation changes, while the back 9 is flat with some of the holes along the river. This was my first time playing the course, so this added some strokes due to lack of course knowledge, If you are staying in Williamsburg, It is worth the trip to play this course.

Nice Public Course, Worth Playing

Other than a cool and windy day, it was a fun day on the golf course. The tee boxes, fairways, traps, and greens were all in good condition. There are a number of very good golf holes and was a challenging but fair course to play. This track is on the repeat list.

Nice track, worth playing.

The layout on this course is very good with many very good golf holes. The greens were lightning fast, more so than previous rounds. The course was in slightly poorer condition than the last time played, maybe from all the rain in November. Some of the fairways are very thin and many of the sand traps need sand. Overall, I enjoy this course and I hope the course conditions will improve to make this a premier course in the area.

Many scenic holes. Water comes into play on many holes and bunkers are strategically placed throughout the course. The greens hold pretty well and are fast.

If you can live with a some rough edges, this is a fun course to play and one of my favorites. It could be a premier course in the area and it is apparent that they are working to improve conditions.

One of my favorite courses

This is a fun, but challenging golf course that covers a lot of ground. The greens are in very good condition, but fringes, fairways, and tee boxes need some improvement (crab grass).With that said, it is apparent that they are working to improve the course conditions. This could be one of the best courses in the area with continued improvements. The staff has always been responsive and customer oriented. I recommend supporting this course and enjoying it.

The course was in excellent condition. The International is challenging, but generally fair if you hit good shots.

I will likely play again when in the Orlando area.
