Tatum Ridge Golf Links
Played On 02/28/2024As usual goodvgreens and fairways
Good pro shop and ranger and cart service. Tee boxes starting to falter but love the course. Nice fast greens. There was a league teeing off in between us so we started late. We finished in 4 hours and 20 minutes which is fine this time of year. Feel very at home at Tatum.
Bent Tree Country Club
Played On 02/21/2024Great shape
From my favorite cart guy (ron) to the pro (doug) to the starter we were treated great as always. They paired us up and got us off on time and luckily the group ahead let us thru (rare in Fla) and we played in 3 and 1/2 hours. Greens continue to be amazing for a public course and fairways and tee boxes actually improved since two weeks ago!! Of course $70 is a lot when I was always paying $25 and less for Benttree BUT given what's out there $70 was well worth it because of the condition! They should be very proud of the way they/ve maintained things and the way they treat people. played that course for many years and it's never been this good.

Played On 02/06/2024Greens fabulous, fairways good, staff helpful
Paying almost $70 for a course I always paid $25 for is a bit of a shock but the perfect greens made up for it. Fairways good but some of the tee boxes torn up which should be an easy fix. I made a mistake re. my tee time and the cart guys, starter and pro shop all helped us out. The round ended up being 4 and a half hours but that's expected and we finished before dark. The greens were as good as private courses around here which is amazing.

Played On 12/06/2023Greens great and Staff as well and good price
So pleased to find that the greens were fabulous. Not as fast as I like but more than fast enough. The two dogleg right par fives are not my favorite but in general the course is nice. Also great vistas as there are relatively few if any houses around. Scott in the pro shop is really great at coordinating the first tee and getting you out in a good position. The other public courses I've been playing have not been in this condition. Hope they can keep it up. I'll be back
Heritage Harbour Golf Club
Played On 10/25/2023Gre Considering
They have had some problems with virus on some of their greens. It's really sad cause the greens that aren't affected are great. Most of the fairways are excellent. The staff from the bag drop to the pro shop to the crusty Scottish starter to the rangers are all AAA. Granted, thru GolfNow I got a great price, but it was very worth it. I enjoy the layout a lot despite the routing that they are working on. I can't imagine a better course for that price!! They are working so hard!!
Tatum Ridge Golf Links
Played On 06/11/2023Doing the best they can
I like the layout and the staff at Tatum alot. Everyone from the cart guys to the pro shop are very friendly and helpful. Between their irrigation system broken and the amount of play and the drought, the course is really showing it's wear. Some of the greens are going and many of the collars. I feel bad for the staff because I know given financial realities and weather they are indeed doing the best they can. I look forward to coming back next winter when the greens are back. Tatum has some of the best if not the best greens of any of the mid-priced public courses!!
Heritage Harbour Golf Club
Played On 04/19/2023Back to being a pretty good course
I've been playing the course off and on for a few years. I played several months ago and it was in OK shape but the new routing to accommodate Building I assume, was annoying. It still is a bit much with the distance between holes and the undone, rough cart paths. Having said that, my round yesterday was fabulous. The fairways were really good and better than almost any course I have been playing and the greens were smooth and fast They had seemingly done some overseeding so they weren't perfect but for a public play course really good. The pro shop staff, the cart staff and the rangers are all friendly and helpful. The managment should be applauded for providing a good experience especially with the lack of rain that has other public course really hurting. Some have good greens but not good fairways too like Heritgae has. I'll be back for sure!!
Tatum Ridge Golf Links
Played On 03/29/2023Tatum has come a long way
We used to joke about people playing here because of how poorly it was maintained. Played 2 days ago and the greens were PERFECT!!! The fairways leave much to be desired but I think that has something to do with defective, old sprinkles that they need to fix. Public play courses always seem to be in the dilemma of using as much water they need. Tatum has retention ponds so when then can water, it's not a problem. I hope Pope Golf finds a way to fix the problem cause it would be one of the best public play courses around. It's already so much better than many. The pro shop is also very accommodating as are the cart personnel and the starters/rangers. Very happy about the course not to mention the great folks from Canada I met there.
Misty Creek Country Club
Played On 12/08/2022Fairways shaggy greens ok but beautiful
Just a gorgeous course inside a wildlife preserve. Course has been in better shape. Fairways not usually shaggy like they were. Course has become expensive for the average golfer but I'll be back for sure
Tatum Ridge Golf Links
Played On 11/16/2022Really decent round of golf
From the beginning, the Pro/Starter worked to get us out with another twosome. Sadly just as we started, it poured which slowed up play because some groups stopped playing to wait. The fairways were fine, the greens rolled true but slow due to moisture. Met some nice folks and all in all I'd go back there anytime. Played to gold tees which were about 5400 yards so distance-wise very manageable.
Mission Inn Resort & Club - Las Colinas Course
Played On 11/29/2019Misty Creek Country Club
Played On 04/17/2019As usual wonderful
so great to play Misty out of season. round took way under 4 hours and the course was perfect. Fairways have taken a little bit of a beating but the greens were pure nd fast. They were holding shots as well. Place has always been just stunningly beautiful.
Misty Creek Country Club
Played On 03/24/2019My fave
Always love this beauty. Course was perfect, greens were fast and true. People in the pro shop are great.
The Highlands Golf Course
Played On 03/11/2019Course has taken a beating
I play the Highlands several times a year. Today was somewhat disappointing since many of the tee boxes and lots of fairways were dried-out and sandy. The greens were better than I thought they'd be so that was the redeeming factor. It is a lovely course. The 9th hole is my least favorite golf hole in the whole area so that never changes. Just a terribly designed hole for the average golfer. Lastly, there were actually 4 carts and 7 golfers playing together on the back nine backing the entire course up. Where was a ranger? Not hurrying back.

Played On 02/06/2019Always Beautiful
I hate to give this course great reviews cause I don't want too many people playing it. But, I love the staff and they make the place very inviting. The layout is OK but the grounds are just exquisite and they leave so much including the cart paths natural. The greens they put in two years ago are fast and pure. Love the place
Lakewood National Golf Club - Commander Course
Played On 01/09/2018Great, fair test of golf and super conditions.
I have to say that getting a super deal on Golf Now Hot Deals made the difference. The course is great but the rack rate a bit stiff for those of us who play all the time and are not tourists. This course in in as good shape as any of the private layouts here. Greens are fabulous, fast and true. Fairways great. The course superintendents should be praised. There were some tough pin placements on knobs but since we only played from 5,700 yards it was fine. The course has so many tee locations anyone can play. Also it is pretty wide open so driving the ball is not terribly difficult. This is the best public course around here. One other thing. We played late in the day and usually you maybe see the food and beverage cart come by once if you are lucky. The cart woman came by three times which was excellent!
Hickory Ridge Golf Club
Played On 06/08/2017Great under the conditions
Turns out only the front nine was open due to incredible rains this week. The pro sent me out early with another Golf Now guy and we had a blast. The course was very playable despite the water and the greens were really solid. When we teed off the course seemed crowded because of the 9-hole limitation but in fact we played in just over 3-hours. What I like about Hickory is that it's not too narrow but there are a bunch of challenging holes for the 10+ handicapper. I'll be back several times this summer. Good job with the rain!!
Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to leave a four star review! While only the front nine were open, we are happy to hear you had a great time at Hickory Ridge Golf Course and that the greens were in great shape despite the heavy rains. We hope to see you again very soon - Alexa, appliedgolf at Hickory Ridge Golf Club
Bent Tree Country Club
Played On 02/11/2016Good time
Greens are SO much better. The staff is great and works hard to get you what you need. The only problems are all the consturction and that there are no rangers monitoring pace of play. Our round took almost 5 hours which is WAY too long. However, it was great weather and the course was fun.
The Groves Golf Course
Played On 12/13/2015Once again great fun
This is a wonderful place to "practice". There's risk/reward on several holes and if you play from the back tees many holes are challenging. The staff starting with the cart crew, the pro shop and the starters are all very helpful, accommodating and professional.They really help make it fun. This is not a groomed, resort course. It is a beautiful little gem however!
Esplanade Golf & Country Club at Lakewood Ranch
Played On 11/14/2015Can't wait to go back!!
I had heard the course was in great shape and it was. Very nice layout with most holes having room for us medium handicaps. (13) Greens were very fast and I love that especially when they run as true as these did. Just a great day on the golf course. There was a slow group in front of us but the ranger talked to them and we did the round in 4:15. My only sorrow is that clearly they will be building lots of homes and going private at some point. The lack of homes made it even better. Can't wait to go back..
