Good thing I play for humility

My mid day tee time ensured that the heat of the day was at it maximum and other players at the minimum. Though they had just top dressed the greens, which really helped reading them do to prior golfer ball tracks, I found the course well maintained, challenging but fair. If it wasn't over an hour away, I would probably play there regularly.

Interesting layout with challenging rough and greens not fully recovered from aeration. Hazards out of the way but sand traps varied in sand depth and packed hard from recent rains. Enjoyed the twosome I was paired with

Terrible Greens

Over the years this course has never had very good greens, with some particularly the first hole having bare spots or burned out grass. But this is the worst they've been. Hopefully the circles painted in some of the fairways are for temporary greens to be used during a major redo.

Mountain Goat Course in Central Florida

Always enjoy playing here since it's soooo different from the rest of Florida golf. The gas powered golf carts stain on some of the holes and your game will feel the strain on this hilly layout.

Fast greens on a pleasant course

I'm always surprised that my score was lower at the conclusion of a round here. The simple answer is that if you challenge the hole on these fast greens, the ball will quickly run past to 3 putt range. So lag up and enjoy a round on a pleasant course.

A pleasant round

While the course showed some wear and tear and the greens had some discoloration, I found the round a very pleasant experience aided by the courtesy of two foursomes on the first tee who waived me thru and a threesome that readily asked me to join them when I caught to them.

Resurection

This continues to improve since the new owner took over 4+/- years ago. The new greens have become fast an challenging. The only problem is as Yogi Berra once said: It's gotten so crowded that no one anymore.goes there anymore.

Shotmaker's course

Though strict on Tee Times for Golf Now Hot Dealers', waited 25 minutes at starters shack until time came up despite no one on course, the course is well maintained and I prefer it over the South course. Course layout can be tricky so you have to pay attention to hole layout so you don't get yourself out of position.

Slow Fairways and Large Fast Greens

It's a course that once you finish your round you feel you should have scored better. The fairway grass was a little long so drives didn't roll much but hitting your next shot off grass was better than hitting off of summer Florida hardpan like at many local courses. Greens were large but very fast and browning a little in the summer sun. I was told they aerated three weeks ago so they may still be suffering from top dressing. Hopefully when I go back I'll play better.

Lots of Sand in Open Spaces

It seems as if you spend as much time driving between holes as on the holes. A pleasant course laid out on acreage that would accomodate another course or a lot of future houses. Though they had aerated 3 weeks ago, the course was playing OK with lots of sand to catch errant shots.

Open for Scoring

While this course is generally open, you have to be careful of a few fairways where a fading drive down the middle can run into water right due to fairway slope. Greens are fast and a little bumpy but you should have a chance to score well if you play from the tees that match your game.

Reasonably Priced Muni

Crane Creek had recently airated and top dressed their greens so it was hard to tell their condition. This is not a particularly challenging course but still a plesent experience.

Water not as much in play as was expected

Enjoyable course to play from the whites with only a couple of carries over water/wetlands that were challenging. Only problem was our twosome caught up to an elderly foursome on Hole 8 that turned a 3 hour round into one over 4 hours without an offer to play thru. We compained to the proshop after the round and they said we should have called them and they would have sent someone out.

New Greens Coming

This narrow, water lined course is challenging and once the refurbing of the greens, starting sometime in June, is complete, and a little work on the fairways will make it one of the top 5 courses in the county.

Threadbare fairways but playable

If you don't hit off hardpan well you should aim your tee shots for the edge of the rough. Otherwise I like the course. The back nine got really slow and the twosome I joined up with on 7 complained about their 5 hour round.

Cocoa Beach CC is the closest thing to a links course in Brevard County. Couple this with immaculate greens and it makes for an interesting round.
