Vista Plantation Golf Course
Played On 10/23/2020Executive Course
Not sure how they keep this track in as good a shape as they do with such a small maintenance staff. . Par 62. Greens are amazingly smooth and can be pretty quick.maybe 10 on the stimp meter today.
Nice place to play if your time is precious and you want to work on your short game.
Pointe West a private track across the street should find out how they keep the greens so nice with so little money or manpower.

Played On 10/05/2020Super Senior Championship
It was a pleasure to play this great track. Greens were pretty fast... someplace around 11 on the stimp meter. The club was a great host. I wished I lived on the west coast of Florida so I could join and play this track.
From the bag drop to the range to the pro shop everything was done just right.
Springfield Country Club
Played On 09/19/2020Great Private Club in Western MA
I am a former member and was in town to visit. Played in the open 2 ball in September. The conditions are the best I have ever seen and I was a member for 20 years.
Greens were perfect.
I be a member again if I still lived in Western MA.
Pointe West Country Club
Played On 07/05/2020Update from my earlier March Review.
The new owner has had the bunkers reworked and reduced in size to about 25% of there prior size and location. The cocina waste bunkers have been removed completely. The new bunkers are pretty apparently consistent but they are all cookie sheet flat. This change has significantly reduced the difficulty of this track. They are also making changes to the 16th hole water hazard but that has not been completed.
The new owner has a bit of "rabbit ears" as my earlier review got me thrown out of the club. This after my chasing him around for 4 months to express my concerns for the conditions. Like one of the other reviews he wouldn't meet with me...
Eventually (4 months later) I received a very strange call from the owner to customer which consisted of a minute of his berating me. He wouldn't let me speak to the issues. He never actually told me I was being blackballed. He left that for his membership guy. He is a piece of work.
He had a group of friends from up North down last winter and the conditions for his group were the best I've seen in two years. As soon as they left so did the great conditions. That was my primary complaint.
I think its only a matter of time until he turns his venom on the Greens Superintendent who appears to be in over his head talent wise.

Played On 03/16/2020Nice course horrible greens and bunkers
Course was recently bought by an individual from the bank who got stuck with it from developer bankruptcy from 2007 financial disaster
Like the layout and member but frankly the greens and bunkers are worse than your local muni
Promises that new owner will fix some of these issues. He’s spent a fortune on equipment but so far the conditions are as bad as ever
If you going to okay try to time it when the owners in town as the greens seem to get cut and rolled and the bunkers raked.
If he not in town play at your own risk
Sandridge just down the street. Better greens most of the time
Panther Lake at Orange County National
Played On 03/08/2020Disappointed to say the least.
I have been a big fan of this facility. This was by far the worst conditions I've ever run into. The greens when they cut them did not clean up around the edges so if you just reached the edge of the green you were putting thru fringe like uncut grass.
The bunkers hadn't been conditioned or raked in quite a long time... at least 5 days worth of foot prints and junk
The fairways were in need of a truckload full of divot mix as we ran out of mix after just a few holes. While awaiting our turn to hit we filled divots until we ran out of mix.
The pace of play was really slow. There were rangers out there but no clue what they were doing.
Thank you for your feedback! We here at Orange County National are proud of the steps we have taken to enhance the player experience with our new pace of play policy. However, we clearly missed the mark on that day. Please email rtaylor@ocngolf.com so that we can resolve this matter with you. - OCN Management
Hilton Head National Golf Club
Played On 03/14/2017Real good course just off the Hilton Head Island. Relatively speaking a bargain. Fair but challenging.

Played On 02/13/2017A little vanilla
Okay course. Conditions were okay. Lunch was not a real possibility. Pace of play S L O W.
Thank you so much for such a great review. We are so pleased to see you enjoyed our club. We wish you lived on the west coast too! Hopefully we will see you back again very soon!
