I played the wrong tee...

Excellent course except no logo ball to fill my collection - last time they were out, this time they are changing name - if anyone has an old one, I'll buy from you. As for the course, it's amazing they got it so well/dry after week-long rain... Well, too many weeds on green and tee, but they pad it down real well, so the green remain smooth and fast, unless you are in tournament or play for $100 per hole, it won't bother you at all. Oh by the way, the "white" tee is not white, but combo of white and green, I played the wrong tee so I shot great score, ha !

Few places telling you the course condition

This is one of few courses telling you that "we are not in our best condition" when you book tee time, that's the best practise I think.

THEY HAVE GPS !!!

Up-keep is good, the staffs are friendly and useful, few holes are not great in layout - too close to be hit by guys on other holes, and crossing the busy street isn't much a good idea. AND, the GPS IS THE GREATEST OF ALL !!!

Most of the greens are great

Most of the greens are great, as they claimed, however, the tee box need A LOT OF WORK .... It's a fun place to be, the staffs are great, they managed the flys in between very well so very few wait. For the price it is good course to play.

Yield, please, and fix ball marks, please

Great course and EXCELLENT staffs, fun place to be, however, if you are following behind those with their own private carts, good luck to you -- they are rude, they are not friendly and they will not give you way even if you are one person they are 2 or 3 .... And guys, please, fix the ball marks on the green, these are great greens, but if nobody is caring for it, it will gone very soon.

Excellent but challenging

It's great place to be, great course and great staffs, however, to compete in this Orlando area golf, other than the green there is some you need to do such as tee box and, get rid of some unreasonable holes that has big tree between a good tee-shot and approach to the green, you will scare away average golfers.

Great place to be

Great layout, not long but have to be straight or else in the water almost every hole -- one suggestion when you go there -- be sure to look out the sign, it could end up someone's backyard as the cart path wondering around ...

Come play, folks ....

Too bad that there is little to no one on the course yesterday, I was playing the entire course almost to myself .... the condition is great, a little wet due to the rain but the green is "EXCELLENT", only thing I want o say is: Folks, please repair your ball marks on the green !

Great place to be again

Great layout, friendly staffs all over, green is almost perfect from renovation, fairway is good except a little too much weeds - but should be taken care of after this hurricane Hermine -- worth to mention, I played just 2 days after the hurrican Hermine hit, yet only few holes that is cart path only.
The only down side is the logo ball is out of stock or not available, it will miss my collection.

Great place except ....

Except that their breakfast is not served until 11am .... so if you play early, do pick up somehting on the way to the course. Other than that, this is a great place to play before they turn into real exclusive club for members.

Consider I lived so close, I should have played here much more than it is now; Good course, great staff, good rate, always meet friendly people here and, except for hole 5 & 6, the course is "never lost" ....

For a municipal course ....

Good course and great staff, the green is somewhat not good but, they managed to place the pin at the area that is good, so, if you are not in serious bet or tournament, you find yourself a great round.

Not on GolfPad GPS app

There was an old gentleman suppose to play with me but he refused, he wants to play by himself, on Sunday where the course is full of people ..... how can you control the pace of play ?? He must be a member and local as he has his own car, the course may not be able to anything anyway. Again, with no GPS app, it's uncustomed like playing without knowing the yardage ....

Good place, friendly staffs and interesting course needing every clubs in the bag, only negative is that my GPS software can't find this course so I was playing with a lot of doubt in yardage.
