Great Course

Played here for the first time and I was impressed with the layout and the condition of the course. Scenic holes through the forested areas and just enough water to make it interesting. Greens were near perfect and the fairways and roughs very good. It seems as though not many replace or fill their divots which is a shame.

Nice course in average condition

We played Twin Isles for the first time today and were pleased with the course overall. Pace was great for our foursome at 10:00 with no one in front or behind us on most holes. The layout is fun with lots of doglegs and a reasonable amount of water. The greens were medium speed and rolled true. The fairways and roughs were mostly brown and hard, but we still had good lies in most locations. I hope they keep up with watering or they may lose most of them!! All in all we enjoyed the round and would come back if the price is right and conditions don’t worsen.

Fun course

This course is in excellent condition. the white tees are pretty easy, so you may want to move back from your norm. Greens were a great pace and almost flawless. I only found one brown area in the fairways. the roughs are pretty short, so easy to recover from. Holes are well laid out with plenty of water hazards. we finished behind a mixed foursome in 4 hours.

Not in great condition

I was a bit disappointed with the condition of the greens at Whiskey Creek today. Plenty of grass, but quite long making for sloooow and bumpy putting. Fairways and roughs are nice, but some tees are also pretty beat up and two or three were closed completely. Still a nice layout and fun to play, but don’t expect to make many putts.

Tough layout

First time playing here and we were surprised how long the course played from the whites. Course was wet, so no roll and muddy areas made it tougher. Greens were in good shape and a nice speed. Sad to hear that the place will close next year. Better get out and try it out this season!!

Great fun on the golf course

This course is one of my favorites because of the super friendly staff and the great course condition. The layout is interesting and challenging. The greens were a little slow, but very true and even. The traps and general area were all nicely raked. Fairways and roughs both in very nice condition with plenty of grass. I will definitely be back.

In good shape

Myerlee has made a comeback in the condition of the golf course. No more bare spots on the greens and most everything else is also improved. My only issue was the bunker under repair on the first hole and the general hard surface of the sand. Very enjoyable short course to practice your irons. Pace was good except for the two long par 3s over water where many golf balls are lost.

What a great course

Playing here was a real pleasure. The course is laid out through a large rolling wooded site and the holes take advantage of the setting. It was fairly empty here at 8:30 on Monday morning, so play was fast. The course is in excellent condition with lush fairways and quick greens. There is lots of tall grass just outside the roughs, so expect to lose some golf balls! Only a few water holes, so you probably won’t need a retriever. I paid the senior rate and I will be back for sure.

Not in good shape

I have played here in prior years, but this is the first time this year and it is not in good condition. The greens especially are bumpy and shaggy. The rest of the course is okay, but not what I expected for the cost. The course layout is interesting and challenging with only a few water hazards to eat your ball. Traps were in poor condition being very hard and crusty. The starter and shop staff were very nice and friendly. Range and chipping area are good, but the practice green is full of “crab grass”. We started on time and finished in 3:30 as a threesome seeing no one else on the course until the last few holes. We are certainly glad we did not pay full price to play here!!

Nice course and a good challenge

Lots of water to catch your ball if you stray off the fairway, but it is visible and does not require long carries in most cases. Layout is interesting and varied. We played in less than 4 hours teeing off at 1:07 in the afternoon. Greens and fairways were very nice with no bad spots and true, fast putting. My only complaint was that the tee boxes needed to be cut and some of them had large clumps of clippings lying about which took away from the appearance. Staff was super friendly and even came around 3 times to see how we were doing. I would recommend this course!!

Fun course

I was greeted at the bag drop by the friendliest and most helpful people I have encountered at a golf facility. Then the pro shop staff seconded the great attitude and fast service. Then the starter added another level of great service! My tee time was at 10:30 with two others and we were joined by a fourth. We tees off right on time and finished in 3 hours and 15 minutes. Course condition was great. Even though the greens were a bit slow, they pitted true and smooth. Course layout was great for us bogey shooters with interesting and varied holes that had some extra length on the front nine and extra twists with water on the back nine. Al in all one of the most enjoyable courses I have played. And I did not lose one ball!! I will be back if I find a deal on Golf Now again.

Great Course in Excellent Condition

This is a great layout in excellent condition. Plenty of water and perfect condition traps. Watch out for a few holes on the back nine with water across the fairway in driveable range! Look for the plaques on the tee for the distances to the water. Greens were near perfect with good speed and true rolls. Friendly and helpful staff. I did not go in the clubhouse, but i hear they have no liquor license.

Nice layout and fun to olay

Conditions were perfect for golf today and the course was in very good condition. Pace was slow however as our foursome of bogey golfers was late in teeing off and waited on every shot. We used the white tees and found the layout very playable although you will want to avoid the driver on a lot of holes due to water and tight doglegs. Placement is much more important than distance on most holes. All in all we had fun and did finish in 4 hours and 30 minutes. Staff was friendly, but sure could have used a ranger.

Nice little course

I enjoyed playing this course today despite a slow foursome holding up play for everyone behind. I finally got to go around them by skipping a #11 and playing it later. Course conditions were fine with nice fairways and greens. The course plays fairly short, but holes are interesting, especially on the back nine. A few holes would have played better with a 3 wood off the tee as you can easily hit it through the doglegs and end up in the rough. I will bring some friends with me next time.

Just an average place

Course conditions here were a disappointment even for the dry season. Many greens had poa grass tufts and bare spots that made putting an adventure. Grass on fairways was very thin in many spots. Layout is nice and a good challenge. Staff was very friendly. Hopefully the condition can be improved over the summer.

In good shape this year

I have played here each year for 4 years and this is the nicest I have seen the course. Greens were better than many courses charging higher fees. Layout is interesting with a good mix of hole lengths and water placement. I played alone at 3:45 pm and saw only one other group on the course. Grass is thin in fairways but okay for the end of the dry season. I will be back next year.

Course still needs some work

We were surprised that a lot of the greens still have bare spots on them. The fairways are getting better and the traps have nice sand, but overall, maintenance is lacking. We always see a gator or two for excitement.

Gone a bit downhill

Maybe hurricane Irma is to blame, but the course has degraded since last year. The greens are very rough with lots of coarse grasses bumping the ball around. The rest of the course is not in bad shape and the layout and people are nice. Several piles of tree limbs still around and the fairway on hole #2 is still washed out after a month with no work being done.
