Scenic, friendly and challenging

Always a good place to play. Super friendly staff greet you nicely at every opportunity… walking in, at the pro shop and clubhouse, starter, and the greens keeping staff in the field while doing their thing, even when you’re leaving they say “have a great afternoon !”
Course keeps you on your toes to stay in the short stuff with some tree lined fairways, but the landing areas are actually fairly wide. Just looks a little more intimidating at times than it really is.
Every hole is unique, and the layout offers some really nice views and elevation changes. I’ll be back again and again.

Gets better as you go

Ice resort course, fairly straight forward and open to. Start and gets more challenging and better scenery as you continue on to back nine.
Nice conditioning , well maintained, friendly staff.

La Grande Dame

Westview is always a pleasure to visit. The rolling terrain, variety of holes , big trees and wonderful views are impressive.
Fairways have struggled a bit this year due to a 3rd party ( road construction) power disruption to irrigation pumps in mid July heat wave, but have come around pretty well now it’s November.
The large undulating greens rolled well as anywhere.
It’s a challenging course requiring long tees shots and pretty long approaches also.....no gimme holes here.
Looking forward to visiting the grand ol’ gal again next year.

Always Good

Heritage Hills is a nice course that continues to improve.
Large , high quality putting surfaces, with good sized landing areas in the. fairways make it playable for wide range of players.
A few wet spots in the woodland portion, but overall very good playing conditions throughout.
Friendly staff, plus a reasonable practice /warm up area all at a fair price ($60 on a shared cart) round out an always enjoyable visit to the Hills.
Play there several times a season...and it’s always good.
Keep up the good work !

Worth the Drive

An hour drive for me but always a nice day of golf once there.
Friendly clubhouse staff and starters at a well maintained and playable course. The poa greens took some time to grow in this spring, but the greens staff were out there giving TLC and once filled in they putted nicely.
Nice farmland scenery everywhere, good variety of hole designs, and plays across the Mariposa Creek now and then.
I’ll keep coming back for more.

Thank you Mr Palmer

Always a pleasure to play an Arnold Palmer designed course.
The first nine has generous landing areas off the tee that give you a good lie to go for the green.
The second nine takes more care off the tee to find the fairways guarded by forest and water or waste bunkers either side on most holes.
Well maintained course here, but come on people...fix your ball marks please ! ..show some respect for The King.
Played here twice and second time around makes we want to try it again, and again.
Follow the advice about how far your average driver carries to play the appropriate tees and you’ll enjoy The Legacy Course as it’ was designed to be enjoyed.

Simply The Best

Take it from Tina Turner....University Park is better than all the rest.
I’m a former greens keeper and have played some of the advertised competition lately: Legacy at Lakewood Ranch, Heron Creek in North Port, both very nice and very well maintained but somebody has to be first...it’s UP in my book.
Congrats to the membership, pro shop, starters, restaurant and especially the grounds crew and course Superintendent. Great stuff at every turn. I’ll keep coming back for more.

Good Value And Improved Greens

I’ve played here several times over past 5 years, and this year the greens and bunkers are much improved from 2 years ago.
Fairways a bit rough in spots, but tees have been over seeded and are growing in nicely this week.
Very playable course, but has its more challenging holes here n there....nice.
The breakfast and lunch with a drink is a bonus and good quality too !
Pace of play has always been good here for early morning play at least.
Always an enjoyable round here, friendly staff, and the price is great with the meals included.
I’ll keep this course in my rotation this year.

The Real Deal

Excellent course, all 3 nines.
Some decent elevation changes, rare for FLA, and greens can be pretty hilly on some holes too.
Well maintained practice areas, bunkers, fairways, green and tees....can’t ask for anything more.
Friendly staff.
You can’t get stuck behind a slow group as the Marshalls are really watching the clock on every group...politely!
We only had a drink and bowl of snacks afterwards but clubhouse is as beautifully appointed as the course.
Value play early morning at $44 all in @ Golfnow is tough to beat, on par with University Park near Sarasota.

Improved Conditions

Congrats to the Club members and the greens staff for bringing this course back into good condition. I played a couple years back and the traps were not maintained and 2 greens were being grown in from heavy seeding and renovation, but should have been out of play. I stayed away last year due to the so so conditions experienced earlier.
After reading the many positive reviews about improved conditions we gave it a try again.
Overall the course is fair and fun to play with greens rolling true and consistent.

Nice Property

Woodington Lakes Legends course is an interesting layout with each hole quite different than the next. Not great for beginners perhaps, but they also have the more forgiving Legacy course on site. Intermediate to advanced players will enjoy The Legends Course.
Weekday hot deal is a bargain at $50-$60. Prepping the bunkers for the Ontario Open in a few weeks fixes up the only weak link this course had. (Legacy course traps need fix up sometime too). Pace of play was go as fast as you want...played 2some in 3:10...was wide open today. Friendly staff , well maintained turf throughout a beautiful property makes this place a treat to play.

Keeping up the Improved conditions

Friendly staff and a very nice warm up area for full shots, chipping and putting.
I’ve played here for 35+ years through a few different ownerships, and the current crew is taking very good care of the course. Over the past 5 years or so, some major renovations were done and I suspect a new superintendent is overseeing the maintenance during this time. The fairways and tees were superb, the greens are very good for this cold wet spring, and the bunkers are well maintained , better than most public courses I’ve played recently. The garden areas and perennial beds are looking well maintained also...very nice touch.
Kudos to the greenskeping staff, keep up the good work. Also good customer service in the clubhouse and on course.
I’ll keep coming back.

What’s Not To Like ?

My compliments to the greens staff for the much improved greens and fairways over last year. Putting surfaces smooth and true, reasonably quick too. Fairways nicely mowed and lush also...a couple real wet approaches at font of green, but seen that at more expensive courses here too ? Fly it to the green is best play over running it up.
Yeh the rough is rough...well, it’s the rough...so what ?
Not much of a practice area, but enough to get warmed up.
Traps are a bit better than last year also.
Same nice helpful S taff and a good breakfast and lunch buffet deal thrown in.
Played 18 early as a single in 2 hr 10 min. A doe and her two fawns bouncing around the second hole too !
I’ll be back ... as Arnold said.

Pretty Tight

A nice reception by friendly staff was a good start.
I was asking what tips they could give a first time visitor...they all said hit at the 150 markers every hole...and maybe use 3 wood off the tee. Good advice, it was very tight off the tee on most holes.
Well maintained private club on a nice property.
Greens were slower than other premium courses nearby and a bit worn out here and there.
Overall a very nice course. Not sure I’d go back right away but it’s a must play just to see the grounds...quite attractive for sure, then make your own decision.

Nice Property...no complaints here.

Enjoyed our first round here. A few blind shots even with the gps pics it was tricky to pick the best line off the tee.
Staff very friendly and helpful . Greens were A1 pretty quick and true. The native zoysia grass working into the fairways is fine to play from as it’s mowed tight.
Overall well conditioned and interesting layout with lots of room between holes on this large property .
Nice practice area as well.
Good experience , good price, no complaints, thank you Misty Creek staff and members !

Mix n Match

Played for a second time as first round left me undecided... weak practice area.. bumpy recently spiked greens... some rough tees.... reception could not find my pre arranged tee time but scored well so had to go back.
Noticed staff we're out rolling the greens that morning, traps were all groomed and staff had my tee time booking ready to go ! This is a pretty good course with some real nice holes and a couple iffy ones, but overall I am liking it, esp. since you can get morning tee times online at a fair price. Tight landing areas on 1 and 9 but others pretty accessible. Fast greens with start of ant problems being addressed , nice fairways, playable tees. 4 stars.

Just like all other reviews I saw when looking to play here. Everything is superb. Friendly staff, smooth entry over to practice area and first tee. Could hardly find an extra divot or ball mark to repair. Traps groomed, smooth , true and fast geeens, lush fairways and tees. Can't ask for more in good conditions . Can't wait to go back. Excellent.

Real potential here.

We played fast as a twosome one day and equally fast as foursome a couple days later. Nice layout and friendly staff. Front 9 greens were suffering some insect or other blight and made putting an adventure through numerous dead spots. Had been aerated recently as well to help growth but needs more topdressing to true the surface. ( yah, former greenskeeper here) Back 9 greens much better but had the beginnings of same issue so we were not going back soon. We got on for under $20 each, so can't complain too much. Fairways tees and rough were all good, just need to get the greens to recover and this course may be the best deal in town. Hole 9 has great character.
