I enjoy playing this course but, unfortunately, this course gets a lot of play and it shows. The fairways are in terrible shape and the greens, although played well, need some attention. They claim they are using well water for irrigation - so, can't figure why things are the way they are. At this time, I would stay away.

This course is in a gated community just outside the area of The Villages in Florida - the security guard was very pleasant.
I found a great deal on Golf Now and that is the extent of the 'Positives'. We registered as a twosome for a 9:52 am start time. Since we hadn't played in a few weeks due to our travels, we arrived at 9:15 to go to the range. I can normally put up with a lot on a golf course - but not this place!
Now the Negatives:
1) Check-in was slow and they took your phone number and physical driver's license for range balls. Apparently, the locals are ripping off their buckets. You get your license back when you return the buckets.
2) Two cart guys checked us in and we got our cart and headed over to the Starter. We were told that we had been paired up - not a problem. So, off to the range.
3) At the range at 9:25 - half hour to warm up, good. Not good - at 9:37 a marshal tells us that we are on deck. I mentioned we were paired up and our time was 9:52. He didn't care and told us to get ready. Should have left right there.
4) We arrive at the Starter at 9:42 and meet the very nice ladies we were paired with. No one ahead of us - this is going to be good - NOT! We also noticed a time chart on the window that shows the time you 'should' spend on each hole. 121 minutes (2 hr 1 min) per nine was their 'suggested' pace.
5) At hole #3, a marshal comes up and informs us that there is a gap between us and the group ahead. We mentioned that there was no one in front of us when we teed off. He didn't want to hear that and said we need to pick up the pace.
6) At the tee box of #9, yet another marshal is checking pace of play and mentions 'the gap'. He didn't want to hear our story either.
7) We finish the front nine in 2 hr 10 min. A couple of the ladies needed the facilities at the turn. While waiting, a different marshal waves at me and points at his watch and informs us we are 8 minutes off pace - are you kidding me!! A few more words were exchanged and off to #10.
8) At #10, still one more marshal (that's #8) was checking cart numbers and pace. He again informed us of 'the gap'. Needless to say, he didn't want to hear about 'the gap' either.
9) We finished the round without any other incidents or seeing anyone in front of or behind us. We looked at our finishing time and it was
4 hr 2 min - exactly what they 'suggested'. While I was putting our clubs in the car, my wife filed a complaint in the Pro Shop. Doubt anything will come of it.

As mentioned, I can put up with a lot at a golf course, but this was way more than I could handle. If you can put up with a lot of harassment, then this course is for you. I will not recommend this course to anyone and I will, obviously, never return.

This is a very nice course in a gated community. I would recommend Golf Now to get the best deal. The fairways, rough and greens were in great shape. The greens rolled pretty true. We caught them during fertilization but they were still pretty good. The bunkers were wet which made them a bit more difficult to get out - couldn't get the club under ball very well.
I would recommend this course.
