Condition of fairways has deteriorated a bit over the last few weeks, maybe because of the lack of rain.

The City of Palm Beach Gardens has overpriced the greens fees for this course to pay for their overly fancy new clubhouse, which they want to serve as an event venue. It's a bit out of the way from most of the local area population and not that convenient for events they are trying to attract, although an additional 9 holes and new housing (and much needed additional parking) are planned for next door. But it's still the same golf course -- average conditions and pace of play in a great natural setting with a water driving range -- that do not warrant an increase in greens fees. It did not appear that the golf course has been changed much. Look for a deal instead of paying full price.

Very tricky, elevated, undulating greens that do not hold shots well.

This is a great, scenic layout in an Audubon-certified facility but is in poor shape, especially for what they charge. Not much grass, and there are weeds and bare/brown spots all over the fairways. Greens are thin and very fast. Took 4 hours to play 18 with a twosome on the front nine and by myself on the back 9 when they left after 9 holes. Carts are old but include GPS. Clubhouse is rustic and moldy-smelling. It's a shame, but I will not return.

Good value with Golfnow Hot Deal. Some fairway borders have weeds/tall grass, and some greens have distressed spots that are being treated, but overall in very good shape. Par threes over water present challenges.

Played gold tees at around 5100 yards; white or blue tees would still be under 6000 but involve more hazards, especially for seniors who were predominant. Traps were in good condition, but fairways are thin and have some weeds and bare spots. Places where the ball is not supposed to go look terrible. Greens seemed OK. Our foursome was waiting on a twosome in front of us and a threesome in front of them.

Noon tee time on a Friday took almost 5 hours to play. Course conditions better than at many courses in the area. Staff very friendly.

Course is expensive unless you get a deal. Greens are elevated, crowned, severely sloped and have extreme undulations, causing ball to fall short, go over or roll off; difficult to chip on or hold with a high shot. Course is in excellent condition, including sand traps. Staff is very pleasant and accommodating.

Golfer-friendly course and nice people. Not fancy and carts are a bit dated, but in good condition except for places where your ball shouldn't be anyway. Snack bar is kind of basic. Sometimes can smell fertilizer from surrounding farms. Rates are comparatively low and Golfnow rates can be a steal!!

Not a long course but in overall very good condition and a fun round. Excellent value even without Hot Deal rate. Runs through a housing development but still has some nice views. Nice clubhouse and restaurant.

Short but interesting public course layout. Very thick foliage off fairways, so keep it in play. There are some very long distances between holes. Tee boxes and greens not in good shape; fairways OK but could use improvement. Course moved slowly; it was not crowded, but it took 4 and a half hours on a late Thursday morning/early afternoon; there were three groups on the par 3 #17 hole. Golfnow deal basically gave me a free cart, but the course's rates are high compared to other public courses. Carts have club/ball washers on them. Clubhouse menu is very limited. Staff all very pleasant.

Regular price is on the high side, so I took advantage of senior rate in effect for 2 weeks in August. Very disappointed in that course conditions were not what you would expect for an upscale course. A lot of browned out areas on fairways and greens, greens with unrepaired ball marks and spike damage, and small weeds everywhere. Fairways were very wet resulting in chunked shots. Sand in bunkers was hard packed. Our threesome was behind a slow foursome, and round took 4 hours and 40 minutes on a Thursday morning. Unique and interesting layout, but I'm not sure I would go back even with a discount.

Superior public course. Greens, fairways and traps in very good shape. Rough is high in many places. They use some kind of fertilizer (?) that will leave blue marks or spots on your ball and club. Staff very friendly. Our foursome had some slow players, but player assistant did not say anything to us. (Group behind us may not have been pleased.) Finished in 4hrs., 15 mins. on a Thursday morning.
