Excellent condition. Testing holes, difficult greens. Loved it.

Lots of hills and many slopes on the course. Greens are pretty big - but need to be with the speed of them and the fierce slopes that if not allowed for take your ball to unexpected places.
Beautifully manicured bunkers I found hard to play from as sand although good had little depth and the faces were at times huge.
Love to play it again, it is a course to treat with respect and best to plan your way around rather than “go for it”.
Fully recommended.

Worth a visit

First 5 holes, bar the 4th, are in the same “field” , parallel and close together. Every 5 minutes or so you here “Fore” shouted, and justifiably. Then the course changes character for the better as you head towards the sea.
Interesting holes, many hills to climb and descend, good par 3’s.
Pace slow for a 2-ball as an elderly 4-ball ahead would not let people through despite having 3 clear holes ahead of them. There were 6 x 2-balls bunched up behind.
Due staff shortages, kitchen closed. Only chocolate bars as sustenance.
Course condition good, greens very slow..
Enjoyed it.

Little water, but quite tight drives. Fairways not best condition with odd grass patches as were the tees. Greens fast

Not the best of condition as a course, but good to play. Fairways had lots of tufted grass on them, or other weeds, but the ball always had a good lie. Tees were in poor condition, especially the red ones where my wife played from. Lots of weeds and bare patches. However, greens were good and fast.
Pace of round very quick, helped by rain which stopped an hour before our booked time.
I drove from Kissimmee, but would not do so again. However, if I lived near the course, then I would play it again.

Good pace of play, very good condition on South course

Enjoyed the round. Greens very good, and slightly on the slow side compared to others. Lots of water, and if you play off the black tees (not me), be prepared for some really long drives (200 yards +) to clear trouble.
Marshall’s out keeping pace of play quick.
Drove from Kissimmee, but unlikely to make the long journey again, as the course did not warrant it. However, if you are 30 minutes or less away, then give it a go.

One of the top courses in the area

Quiet day in August, so2 of us went round very quickly - excellent! Course was in excellent condition, greens very good.
I prefer Crooked Cat, but only just. Got a hot deal with Golf Now, worth every cent.
Excellent staff, so helpful and friendly.

I will be back.

I liked the course. Nice and wide, very good cobition. A thunderstorm hit as we atarted, so the course was very wet upon restart. Still, it hardly affected out game. Staff very helpful and accommodating. I played the International course as the National was closed for renovation. Fully recommend a round there.

Good course, played white/blue

Good course, not what I would call a links however. Mind you I hear the red course is more of a links, but certainly white and blue are standard Floridian courses. Excellent value for money, I played at 11.30, and the one downside for me was the recently timed greens. Putting very fickle, but once they grow, it will certainly improve the course. Marshals always around - an excellent thing to see.

Course of two halves

Lovely course, that in September had no run on the second half. In fact, ball in one case went backwards after landing when a 220 yd hit driver landed. So second half proved very long, with long irons needed for nearly every par 4 on second shot. First half easier, no water and plenty of bunkers.

Good course but greens and tees let it down

Played just after greens toned and sanded. Fairways good, but some greens had large areas of no grass, and some tees were like a cows field. That let it down somewhat, but hopefully fixes are in hand. I paid a fairly low sum to play it, so made it worthwhile. Will not rush back.

Scenic, quite tight, most enjoyable

Lovely course. Greens had been tined, but was aware of that, so they were slow. Course in excellent condition, good for ladies as their tees are quite a way forward. Long from back tees - over 7100 yards. Plenty of water and subtle hillocks.

Great course to play

Went as a 2-ball. Staff let us start on 1st by request - 10th had been used due to a booking by a competition. As a consequence, we had a pretty clear run in 2hrs 45mins. Condition of course great, very helpful and friendly staff.
Due to loads of rain, course played long - no run - but had drained impressively well. No puddles or extra water on the course.
Marvellous having GPS in all carts.

It had been wet 2 days earlier, but the course drained so badly it was still flooded

Lovely course, but do not consider playing it after heavy rain. The greens are good, but the fairways are like a bog - they have very poor drainage. Would be a great course in the dru.

Makes you think

You need a buggy, long distance sometimes between green and tee. Lovely course, can be played by beginners and Professionals. Loved it, will play again.
