Excellent course condition greens brilliant

Played at 10:30 in the morning and had course to ourselves. Greens were excellent condition, true with great pace for beginning of April.

Rest of course in good condition.

Everyone friendly; members and staff alike.

Course is fun to play as it’s not long although you need to be aware of red flags out and yellow in!

Stayed at Links Hotel, great food. We broke our journey down from Scotland, well worth doing.

lovely friendly club with a great links course

We had heavy drizzle for most of the round but we still thoughly enjoyed our round. The course was in great condition with slick greens. The layout does need previous knowledge in places on the front nine especially 5 and 6 but most of the time the hole is there in front of you.

The 7th is a lovely hole with a long narrow green and the 12th a great par 3.

Would highly recommend course and club with friendly and helpful golf pro and members.

Absolutely out of this world - views to die for and a wonderful course

This is the nine at Muckhart I would always want to play - every hole is a jem and the setting is absolutely out of this world.

The 5th a par 4 - 420 yards which with a good drive that catches the slope will leave a 9 iron, but don't be left of the pin - the down hill putt is scary.

The 8th a par 4 - 300 yards needs a drive down the left edge of the fairway but watch the gorse and pine trees, again the green slopes away to the right front edge - putts from above the pin need to be avoided.

We had a wonderful time taking photos and taking time to soak in the views.

Everyone we met were friendly and the clubs pro was so helpful - we can't wait to return and return we will!!

Excellent course set in magical scenery

The Arndean course is a wonderful course with great holes set in the magical scenery of a Scottish glen. Our favourite holes were the 5th a par 4 set across a sloping fairway to an elevated green and the 5th a par 3 infinity green 190 yards away. the backdrop to both holes was breathtaking.

Everyone was friendly - the golf pro especially helpful - highly recommend a visit

Good course with a canal that comes into play on a lot of holes

Picked this course up on Golf Now for £18 each including buggy!!!

Really friend staff and fellow golfers - made to feel at home.

Course in good condition - greens clearly had been top dressed a few weeks earlier but still rolled out well.

Would recommend this course as being great value for money.

Great course with really helpful staff

We had been looking forward to playing Crandon all our holiday and we were not let down.

We started with a club sandwich and drink which was great value and wonderful served by friendly staff; also the members in the clubhouse were friendly and welcoming.

This continued in the shop, with staff who helped me choose the best tees to play from to the buggy master who did not rush us to start.

The course is fantastic layout in excellent condition and most of all on the final hole the view of Miami across the bay - stunning.

We had a great day and would recommend Crandon with any reservation at all.

Tough challenge with quirky McCord layout

This is a challenging course made mistake, in hindsight, of going off back tees (its a long way to the fairway) and needed to tee it up for a couple of the par 3's to give myself a chance of reaching the green.

The greens were in good condition but not overly fast, thank goodness as they have big slopes.

The main issue when playing for the first time is the number of blind shots, 18th is perfect example, if you take an iron off the tee you're left with a totally blind 100-120yd second shot.

All the staff were really friendly and unlimited use of the range is included, great value.

Overall would recommend and will play it again teeing it up slightly!

The Legends at Orange Lake Resort

Great layout with water in play on the majority of holes

Great 'Palmer' design over 7000 yds from back pots and some challenging carries over water. Was in great condition with the greens running at a good pace. There really is not a weak hole with the 4th, 8th 9th,10th, 12th and 18th being the most memorable all with water being a strong feature.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, the spike bar was a much needed stop off point after nine (very hot day) and good value. The only down side was the pace of play was slow mainly a 4 ball spraying balls all over and not understanding that you can call groups through while you look for your balls.

Would recommend the Legends as it is a great track from start to finish.

Cracking value - great layout - very friendly staff an absolute jem.

This course is a great layout with some wonderful holes and given the weather the green keeping staff had had to deal with (very wet) in very good condition. The course is made up of three loops of nine, we played the red/white around 7100 yds off the back pots.

The course has been sculptured with dunes and does in places have a links type feel but elsewhere it's very much american in style, with a number of strong par 3's; 12th being a good example over water to a green slanted at an angle.

The staff were very helpful and the refreshments and drinks at the clubhouse reasonably priced, also a bucket of range balls included in price.

I will play this course again and would highly recommend a visit to this little gem.
