Slow

Just a real disappointment with how beautiful the course is. 5 hour round golf just is not acceptable. I was playing with a resident who lives there and he got so frustrated that he went home after 9 holes. If I was a member I would have done the same thing. They need to do a much better job with keeping the pace up. Just a miserable day when your constantly waiting. We were three groups deep on the seventh hole wwaiting to tee off.

Nice course

Course was in good shape for this time of year. Some bare spots but nothing horrible. Greens are nice and interesting holes. There is elevation which makes it nice. The only complaint I have is when checking in. They ask for a lot of information and is very time consuming. They need to improve on the checking in.

Horrible Conditions

Staff was very nice and good pace of play. Golf course condition is horrible. Most tee box are under repair, greens have none to little grass and fairways have more sand then grass. Really don’t see a renovation here. Needs to be redone really bad. This course is the worst condition course I have ever played. Very disappointed in the experience. Drove an hour to play this goat ranch and that’s being nice. I can see why they have many tee times and the price is cheap. You get what you pay for is the lesson learned here. I will never play this course ever again.

Great course, slow pace

Course is always in excellent condition and greens are like glass. Very fast and hard. Only complaint is the pace of play was extremely slow. Anytime it is a 5 hour round it’s not fun and enjoyable.

Typical winter round

Course was in winter conditions. Greens a little bad in places but nothing to be upset about. Fairways are fine and it was niece to see the rough short for once. Still very thick and if you hit it in there better just drop one. Pace was 4 hours and 10 minutes so not horrible. Just your typical Florida round in season.

Great conditions

Course is in great condition. Greens are fast and smooth. Pace was average. It took us 4 hours and 20 minutes. Course got backed up due to carts dying on the course. Course just doesn’t have enough carts for the amount of play they get. The course is very flat with lots of water. Fun day and my buddy from California really enjoyed the course.

Nice Course

Nice course, visiting from Florida. Played as a single and it was a long hot day. Played behind a foursome of elderly people playing a money game. It took forever. There was no where to go so I was stuck behind it. Staff was very friendly and course is an excellent condition. Cart girl was very nice and talk to me while I waited on course. Would have been a great day if the people in front of me would have met me play through.

Great Course

Always in good shape, but pace of play is slow. We were going a long nicely through eight holes and then hit a road block. We got to ten and it was two groups deeps and really slow after that. Really screws up your round. This twosome in front played through two foursomes, so everyone had to wait behind. Love the course unfortunately it’s always a slow pace even on Easter.

Slow pace

I like the course and staff here and I have no idea what was going on in front of us. The pace was extremely slow. Started at at 11 and by the time I got to hole ten it was 2. I just couldn’t do it anymore and we left in frustration because of the extremely slow pace. There was four groups waiting on a par three on hole 6. That was the warning sign. I get it that they don’t have a lot of money here, but they need to do a better job with getting g the pace of play faster on a Sunday. Very frustrating and disappointing. I hope they do better.

Course is an average condition for this time of year. What you would expect. Played with a nice couple. Pace was good and had a fun time. Greens are a little inconsistent. That’s my only complaint.

Fun day

Course was in good conditions and staff was very friendly. They got us off right at 1:45 on the dot. The pace of play was excellent 4 hours and ten minutes. There was a slow three sometime in front of us. We didn’t call but someone behind us must have. The pace picked up immediately. Nice to know that the rangers here actually do something. Didn’t play well, but still had a fun time. Excellent price, so all is good.

Fun day

Course was an average conditions for this time of year. Green are not bad. They rolled fine and there weren’t that many bad spots. Fairways and tee boxes are rough. That is to be expected this time of year. Played with two Canadians and it was a lot of fun. I love the lay out of the course. It’s always a treat to come and play Red Tail. Great hot deal for 40 bucks. The rack rate is 60 now.

Ok, greens need some work

Pace of play was great for this time of year started at 11 and got done at 2:50. Course was in average conditions for this time of year. Greens need some work. They were very inconsistent. Some were really fast others were slow and the greens keeper must have been upset Sunday morning. Cut some pins in ridges and those holes were unplayable. I mean come on most of us aren’t tour pros.

Nasty Pro Shop Employee

The course was an average conditions for this time of year. Definitely not worth 50 dollars. Royal Oaks is much better shape and a lot cheaper. When I walked in the pro shop I said I had a rider, and Karen the woman behind the counter had a problem with it immediately. I have never had a problem with a rider, but she made it a point to have a problem with me. I explained that I played here in November and we had a 4 some and another person had a rider as well no problem. She continued to argue with me. That was a horrible experience for me. She said I had to ride with the other single. I said that makes no sense for her to ride alone. I’m paying 20 bucks for her to ride. She still continued to argue with me. Karen needs to learn some manner. Very unprofessional!!! When I went out dude I told the cart people about it and they don’t worry about it. I don’t understand why she wanted to make things so difficult. I love the course and all of the people I encountered on Sunday were very nice to me except Jaren. Just a nasty woman who needs some classes on customer service. I hope she gets the help she needs, so other people don’t have the Karen experience.

Wonderful Greens

Course was an excellent condition. I have played here many times and it’s the best I’ve ever seen the greens. Pace of play was average for this time of year. We played the front 9 in an hour and forty five minutes, but when we made the turn it was all backed up. The second par 5 had three groups waiting on the tee. The back 9 took about 2 and half hours to play, so don’t know what happened back there. The only complaint I have is a rider fee for my wife was 20 bucks. That’s obnoxious. I
Everywhere else it’s 15 bucks. Even Disney only charges 15 dollars. I don’t agree with that. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. But 20 dollars come on man.
