Poor condition

This course has not come back from a problem with the water last Spring. Fairways a mess; greens with very rough patches.

Wait to see if the overseeding done last week will help.

Nice course, terrible greens

This is a very interesting track with a lot of variation. The design is unique and the undulations give it a very different feel from other FL courses. The greens, however, were awful. The staff indicated that because of the very sandy soil, the lifespan of the greens was about 10 years and they were trying to decide if they would spend the $1 million necessary to rip them up and start over. Until they do, I would advise against this course. It was the worst value of any courses that I have booked through GolfNow.

Your comment is appreciated and we understand your concern. Our greens had a difficult transition from the overseed and we are making strides to improve the course by renovating multiple greens for your future enjoyment. We like to be upfront about the conditions so there are course alerts with notes on all tee times booked through GolfNow and our website. We also understand the greens are holding us back from being a 5-star facility, so we are working diligently to be back to our standards by July. We hope that you will give us another try soon and we look forward to your next visit.

Unique mountain course

This is a very interesting mountain course with great variation. The course conditions were improved over 2011 and the greens were very good. Cart paths are rough. There are some hazards that cross the fairway that come into play without adequate warning. Be prepared for severe sidehill, uphill, and downhill lies. A fun couse that you will shake your head a few times as your ball disappears into the wools or hazards.

This is an ok course. Exercise other options first.

This is a funky course with several blind shots and some very unusual holes. The value through GolfNow was very good. Better after playing it a few times. Try to avoid after a rainy period as it can be wet.
