Back at Old Vincennes

I've played here many times and know about the tight par 5's, long par 3 #10, etc. The greens were in good shape and only 3 fairways were burnt from the winter. The rough was juicy
The bar is a local hang out, so don't expect quick service.
I noticed several employees lacked manners and congeniality.

Such a shame

I've played here several times. I normally don't care for the front nine since the back is so well layed out. The course was in horrible shape, the fairways never came in. The back was even worse as they've now plugged the fairways. The greens were slow.
I'm so glad I got this round with a hot deal.

Same ol' place

It's been a long time since I have played here. The par 3's are still a bear, some tough par 4's and the par 5's are reachable. The fairways still haven't grown in from the harsh winter and the greens were hard when receiving a chip but slow to putt (not a good combo in my opinion). The recent rains prevented the rough from being mowed; it is definitely juicy and thick.

Such a shame

This course had a nice layout but the conditions were horrible; the fairways were burnt out (was told they froze over the winter and didn't recover) and the greens were very slow yet hard enough to not receive a chip let a alone a new iron shot in.
I've played courses this year that had fairway problems and they only charged $12-15. To pay$40 here was outrageous!

Such great potential

This course had a great layout but the fairways were only half there. The greens were great though. I enjoyed the par 5's. The terrain was hilly, so knowing how the ball would react off of hills kept us guessing but still fun.
I can see this course being a really good one if the fairways were in better shape.

Mountain golf without the drive

This was a pleasant surprise find in the North Metro area. The name belies the course as it is hilly with a few blind shots but beautiful vistas at every turn. The greens were a bit bumpy but the fairways were nice and the layout spectacular.

Another gem in N GA

This course was in great shape and had a great layout. Of course, it involved rolling hills plus it had a meandering creek to add some challenge. The par 3's were very demanding but the par 5's were all reachable in 2.

Mow!

I've played this course a few times over the years and always enjoyed the conditioning. Yesterday the fairways were nice plus the tee boxes and the greens were slick but the rough was out of control. We lost several balls in the rough including a couple just two feet off the fairway.
The par 3's are a brutish, except one, and the par 5's are reachable in two, except one.

Tough winter

I have played Quail many, many times. I know what the course is capable of and return time in and out; however, the course is in terrible shape now. The fairways are still dormant and the greens were bumpy from the aeration not taking.
I'll give this course another shot but not until later in the year. I was severely saddened by the conditions as was the personnel there.

Pleasant suprise

This course was a pleasant surprise. There is plenty of water but the holes are laid out well and the par 5's are reachable. The greens were very fast for this time of year. Obviously, the fairways are dormant but I'm thinking later in the spring would be a treat.

Twin? River?

It is hard to be fair because the conditions were unbelievably wet. The only river we saw was an underground river coming up through each fairway. That was the wettest golf course I've been on in FL and we probably shouldn't have been allowed out.
There seemed to be a good variety of holes. The par 5's weren't long but were interesting.
I will say there are extremely long walks between holes, so not a great walkers course.
The driving range and chipping area looked nice.

Nice local option

This course was in decent shape(fairways were mowed, greens weren't deadly slow, the sand was thin and easier to gauge plus there wasn't much rough) and had a nice layout. The boomerang shaped par 5 made me think!
There is a café which I didn't visit but the lounge was a welcome sight!

Worth the drive!

What a beautiful piece of real estate. This course was phenomenal; the layout is fantastic and challenging. The course conditions were inspiring.
We got rained out but couldn't stop talking about the course on the way home. We will be back!

Yes, it's a Waldorf

What a treat it was to play here regardless of the weather. The valet, pro and bags guys were all friendly. This course is definitely one of the nicest I've played in the Orlando area.
The fairways were very nice, the greens weren't perfect but you could tell that they had the potential to be awesome instead of good.
There was a good deal of sand, unfortunately, it was wet and difficult to play.

My new favorite Orlando area course

This place was a joy to play. The greens were slow but that was the ONLY bad thing I can say about the course. The layout was nice, the fairways were great and even the practice facility was good. What a treat and a very affordable price!

World class golf

What a treat is was to play the Slammer and the Squire. The greens were nice and the overseeding of the fairways made them perfect. The course had a nice variety of holes. The apples in a barrel were a nice touch but playing such a nice course on a hot deal was fabulous!

As Florida golf should be

Great golf course! It's a little short but can be a challenge. Conditioning was good, ie: greens had speed, fairway were nice and tee boxes not torn up. A couple of holes were tricky and blind but overall a nice layout.
Only detraction was staff but that won't stop a nice round.

Need to play here again to know

This course was tight! The first hole had jungle up the right and water up the left. The rest of the day continued with these options. I was disappointed in the conditioning. The fairways were gouged. I don't mind dormant grass but there were spots that grass wasn't growing. I also disliked the greens. I don't mind fast but they were hard and fast; they needed to be punched.
I would like to see the course in better shape before I went back again.

Great potential

The course has a wonderful layout but lacked the finishing touches to be a real gem, like bad spots in the fairways, inconsistent bunkers & odd patches of rough.
