Shaggy

I have always enjoyed the layout of this course. The greens were in pretty good shape but the bunkers were in terrible shape....weedy and looks like they had not seen any attention in a long time. The fairways were OK but the area off the fairways were weedy and had not seen any attention in a long while. Some of the rough was up to your knees. With some attention this could be a hidden gem. It will take some time to get this course back in shape but with no more attention that it seems to be getting it may soon not be worth the money even at the reduced rates that they are charging.

Great value for the money

Course and greens were in good shape. I ended up playing with 3 nice guys which is always a plus. Greens were in good shape but not real fast. This course is short but it is still an enjoyable layout. Just enough water to get in trouble with and some well placed bunkers. I have played this course a few time and have always found it in pretty good shape. I will be back.

Greens were in great shape

I had played this course a couple of months back. The greens were in pretty good shape during that round. This round the greens were in great shape and FAST. Putts rolled true. You had to be careful with your approach shots as the ball would really move once it hit the greens. We had a 6:54 AM tee time and their was another group in front of us. They moved along at a very good pace and we only had to wait a short while for that group to clear on very few holes. I will be back.

Had not played this course in a while

I was going to play this course a few months back but the greens were going through renovation. When I played this time I was very happy with the condition of the greens. The entire course was in better shape than the last time I had played it but it is still a work in progress. With a little more TLC this course will become a hidden gem. I like the layout of this course and there are about 3 holes that continue to eat my lunch when I play it. One day I will get the better of these three holes. I will be back!!!

Fun layout

My first time playing this course. Fortunately I was paired with a gentleman that had played the course several times before and he was able to inform me of hidden hazards that are not easily seen from the tee box. The course had some challenging holes as well as a number of easy ones. I look forward to returning in the near future now that I have a better understanding of the course layout.

First time playing

This was my first time playing this course. I had searched it out online and it looked interesting. I paired up with a gentleman who had played the course several times before and was helpful with hints with what to avoid and best places to hit the ball. I enjoyed the layout....the greens were in pretty good shape. The fairways were a bit "thin" but not in terrible shape. I look forward to returning and playing this course again....maybe after the rains start and the fairways get a bit more growth in them. I enjoyed my round.

Fun Round of Golf

This is the second weekend in a row that I played Sanctuary Ridge. I pair up with another single and a twosome. These guys were very friendly and made the round that much more enjoyable. The greens are in good shape but there were a little fuzzy and slow. Overall the course is in a little better shape than when I played it in the past. I enjoy all of the elevation changes this course offers and many of the fun layouts of the course. I will be back.

Great value

I have always enjoyed Santuary Ridge layout. The elevation changes in Central Florida are a treat. The greens were in good shape but not very fast. Overall the course was in the best shape I have seen in in for the past couple of years. I was surprised that there were no rakes on the carts or any of the sand traps that I could see. I was only in a trap once but my playing partners were in a few times and once their ball came to rest in a footprint in the sand. I hope to see them keep improving the course over the spring and summer. It is one of my favorite layouts in Central Florida.

Improving

I had played this course some time ago before it changed hands. I spoke with the guy in the pro shop (who was extremely friendly and nice) and he told me of the change of ownership and the change of name. He informed me that the new owners were making improvements to the course. The greens were in good shape and I could see where there were efforts to improve the course throughout. I know that last time I had played this course it was in rough shape. They have a long way to go but it is encouraging to see the effort that is being put forth. For the money and the improvements that they are making....I will be back. Thanks for the efforts to date!

Like this course

I have played this course several times. It is always in good shape and I like the layout. The Blue and White are fun to play and the Red is more challenging. It seems each time I play some small improvement has been made to the course. The only downside is that because the course is always in good shape and the price is always good, it gets a lot of play and sometimes the pace is a bit slow. That was not really the case this time but the weather was a bit rainy off and on. Really enjoy this course..

Good value for the money

I got a great rate to play this course. I have played this course in the past but not for quite a while now. It is in need of TLC. The greens weren't bad and the fairways were decent but the tee boxes needed some help. I have always liked this layout....with a little pruning and care it would be a very nice place to play. Kind of looks like it is falling on hard times.

Like the layout

Always have enjoyed the layout at Legends. Some very nice holes and a good range of diversity. It was not in as good a shape as the last time I played it about a year ago. With a little effort and TLC this could be one of our favorite destinations to play.

Nice Layout

I have played Sanctuary Ridge several times and I love the layout of the course. Unfortunately the course was in kind of rough shape. There were several wash outs in the sand traps and other spots. The rough area needed a lot of TLC as well. The greens were in decent shape as were the fairways. The pace of play was a bit slow and since there was no marshall on the course it did not improve as the day went on. I will go back as I love the layout but I hope that the rough, traps and overall condition improve.

Beautiful course

This course is one of the most visibly pleasing courses to play in Orlando. It is also on of the most fun as well. I am very saddened to hear that they are planning on closing it early next year to develop a housing project. I really wish there was a way to save this gem!

Great layout

This has become one of my favorite courses to play in the Orlando area. It is always in pretty good shape and this outing did not disappoint. Visually this is a great course to play and it has a number of holes that are challenging and make you chose your club selection wisely. I will be back!

Fun layout

I really enjoy the layout of holes on this course. This is the third time I have played it and I enjoy the layout. I played it a few weeks back and they had just punched the course so it was rough. This outing the greens (except for one) were in very good shape. The pace of play was good and the rate we paid for this course was super. We will be back.

Course in good shape

I have always liked this course and with the great deal that I got to play I was expecting it to be in poor condition....I was wrong. The greens were in good shape as was the overall condition of the course. Some of the rough area was a bit overgrown but I was not sure if that was by design, because of all the rain that we have had or if it just and not been addressed yet. I WILL BE BACK SOON!

Good course for the money

I found a great deal for this course. I have played it several times and always found it to be in good shape. I thought because of the low cost there must have been something wrong with the course. This was NOT the case. The greens were in good shape as was the rest of the course. The pace of play was pretty good and the staff was friendly.

Love the layout....needs some maintenance

I love the layout of Blackbear. I have not had the chance to play it as much as I would like because of the distance from where I live. The rate that I played for made it worth the trip. The course was in the most unkept condition that I have ever seen. With some TLC this could be one of the most enjoyable courses in the area to play. I hope they spend a little money and bring this gem back to what is once was.
