This used to be one of my favorite courses. I hadn’t played it for a couple of years and it just wasn’t in good shape. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens all in pretty bad shape. I understand that it’s winter but it needs a lot of work.

I have played the Panther Run course the past couple of years during the holidays. It has been in great shape every time and is a great value. This course would probably be twice as expensive if it were in Naples. The only negative I have is the odd driving range. Water range balls with a couple of odd targets. Other than that I have nothing but positive things to.say.

I played this course two days in a row between Christmas and New Years. It is a beautiful course and was in very good shape. Plenty of variety in length (can play up to 7500 yards) and fairways and greens were in great shape.

Only issue I had was some crazy fog on the second day. We asked if things were a “go” and they said yes they were. At least 9 of the holes were played in thick fog, and about 6 of them were what I would call blind golf (couldn’t see the fairway from the tee, couldn’t see the green from the fairway). I would think that they would offer some options for us (start later and play nine), we’ll give you a 9 hole credit on your next round if you go now) but they didn’t. Since I’m not much into complaining (especially on vacation) I didn’t say anything, but I would have felt better if they’d been proactive in offering a few options. That being said, I’ll be back. It’s a nice track and not a bad drive from North Naples.

I haven’t played here in over 5 years so thought I would give it a shot. The layout is a bit quirky but I always enjoyed it in the past. Unfortunately, it is not in good shape right now. Many greens have very little grass so putting was a total guess. The tee boxes and fairways were below average but playable. I’m not sure if the Marriott connected to it is responsible but it needs some TLC. Not worth $40 in its current condition.

Port Royal was a pleasure to play. It was supposed to rain all day but it held off during our round. While I'm sure that it would be more stunning in sunlight it was still one of the more beautiful courses I've played, especially on the back 9. Things like the driving range and practice green are not emphasized like they are at US courses, the beauty of the course can't be beat. The 16th hole is certainly the most challenging hole on the course (especially from the back tees), but there are many other holes that were memorable. I will be returning to PR on future trips to Bermuda.
