Course in good shape

It has been relatively dry here, so the course was not soggy. Good grass on the fairways. Greens in good shape.

Although greens have generally been in good condition, I have played here when the fairways were greenish, but not grass.
Greatly improved since my last round!

Condition of greens suitable for pro tournament.
Fairways have best grass in the area.

Good greens/lousy fairways

Have not played this course for several months, because of the conditions.
Today, the greens were in much better shape than I recalled, but the fairways are no better, with many bare spots.

Course in poor condition

Have played this course occasionally over the years. Play from the "silver" tees because I am not a long hitter, so many par fours are reachable for me. Fairways generally narrow, so require accurate tee shots.
When I first played here I described conditions as a cow pasture with greens. Last time I played conditions were much improved, but today, not so much. Hardly any real grass on the fairways.

Thank you for playing The Spruce Creek Preserve Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Worth the drive

Despite 90 min drive, decided to play for the first time because of resort reputation, special price, and desire to get out of my area during this trying time.
Staff super helpful. Fairways in good condition. Greens also well maintained, but very fast.
One quirk- cannot drive to clubhouse. Must be picked up in parking lot by cart that comes by every few minutes. Otherwise a fairly long walk.

Much improved since last played

Have avoided playing here because of poor condition of the fairways in the past. Came today since most courses were closed on Christmas.
Pleasantly surprised by condition of the greens. Fairways much improved, but still thin in many places.
Bunkers hard packed - like a tight lie.
Would come back.

Greatly improved conditions

Have played this course many times, but not for months, and I may have dissed it in the past.
Condition of fairways and greens was much better than I have ever seen it.
I'll certainly return.

Much better condition than last time

Have not played here in several months, but formerly played every few weeks. Course is in best condition ever, both greens and fairways.
Still challenging because of trees.

Wide fairways

Long touted by one of my playing partners, it lived up to expectations.
Fairways not perfect, but much better than most other courses we play.
Greens well kept.
Unfortunately, rainy day, so we'll have to go back

Cow pasture with nice greens

Fairways at this course have never been good, but these were the worst ever. Hardly any grass.
Fairways are very narrow on many holes.
In fairness, this was 1 week after Irma, and I'll forgive excess debris in woods, and length of rough.
Saving grace -Greens were in very good condition!
Don't think our group will play this course any time soon.

Can get very soggy after heavy rain

Generally like this course because holes are relatively short.
Challenging because of many water hazards and some woods.
Major problem is after heavy rains there is a lot of casual standing water on many fairways.

Worst fairways I've played on in a long time

Have played this course a number of times. This time fairways were in the worst condition I could imagine.
Hardly any real grass.
Greens are decent, and it does have it's challenges.
I can't understand how the residents of the community put up with the overall conditions.

Price cant be beat? Try by any other par 3 course in the area, all of which are far superior.
