Awesome off season course!

For the money, it’s hard to find a better condition Course in SWFL! Free range balls, good pace of play, fairways and greens in excellent shape!
They don’t allow 3 carts so the non playing wives had to squeeze in with the kids and dads having an epic battle!

Finally played the 'famous Biltmore'- that's it??

For years I've had this course high on my list and decided for my birthday to indulge with my son. Child rates are $70 plus another $35 'to ride in the cart'. Sure they are junior friendly and host tournaments, but come on, adding $30 to the cart? My 8 year old isn't going to walk while I ride.... Hotel rate was $175 + cart fee. Was about to book but then TeeOff had a rate that was HALF that price! I thought I was in for a real treat! Practice green was great, decent range, friendly pro-shop, nice little restaurant with great food. Nice dog leg Par-5 to start..after a few holes, I noticed that, for a +20 golfer like myself, it seemed pretty easy. Played the whites (6k yards), had multiple pars to start. By Hole 7, I was asking why is this course so special and 'revered'? Just because it's 100 years old? Pretty open fairways, little rough so if you slice like me you're still fine. Sure it's a walk-able course and the scenery is beautiful. But for the actual course? Just another city course with decent greens. Nothing special, not worth the hype. Would never pay $150-$200 per person like the normal rate. Living in Naples now, I'm just too spoiled here with beautiful green fairways, fast greens, nice tee boxes, challenging layouts, undulation, etc. If you can book this for $50-$60 and walk on a nice morning, it's worth it. IF you want a challenge and have $100+ to spend, this isn't it. Range balls were $12 for a small bucket. They will pair you up any chance they get.

We played together. Sorry it was a bummer. Course was beautiful and you were very happy at the time. Got some cheese to go with that whine?

Great Par 62 course in Season!

If you Want to play golf but not break the bank in Southwest Florida during season, this is a great spot. Lots of challenging part three holes. The Par fives are short. And it’s family/kid friendly so as long as your child is a pretty good golfer, they won’t struggle too bad with all the water.

Our 3rd time playing and they have 3 9-hole courses. Lots of members play here so you’ll see custom golf carts and such. Range isn’t free, staff is friendly.

Our favorite executive course in Naples

My son & I love playing this executive course. Good amount of water, bunkers and difficulty. Friendly staff, love having juniors come out and play. You can walk or drive and we prefer to drive if doing 18. Putting green and chipping area is good before teeing off.

Great layout, Friendly staff!

We played the highlands course, 1 of 3 courses at this location. Our first time to this area and it didn't disappoint! What a great neighborhood too to live in! We didn't see much practice facilities but the course and area reminded us of Hilton Head Island courses. Lots of trees, no thick rough, water on some holes. Overall not super long but definitely challenging at times. My son played from the red tees (except for a few) and did well too. The staff was great - pro shop lady was friendly and they COMP'd my son (and anyone under 15!). Overall definitely recommend!

Great value for Naples!

We just love this course. The greens are just average in the Summer, but the staff is just so nice to us and they really like my little boy who comes to play as well. The course is great to practice your irons with a few Par 4's sprinkled in (2 at the end, nothing over 300 yards). You can get this course done in 2.5 hours with 2 people easily and the value (especially in the summer) can't be beat! Other players we have encountered are friendly as well, just a nice place overall to spend the morning or afternoon.

What a great course!

I see why this is a triple digit price in the season, its a great layout in a superb location. Very classy, nice carts with accurate GPS and no sand traps! Course was in perfect shape for practically being summertime where most courses start to do maintenance and slack on fairway care. Definitely recommend!

Avoid - not family friendly

Thanks to Golf Now not telling you in advance, the place does not allow families. Pro Shop guy was nice but wouldn't let us play...So a dad can't take his 10 or 12 year old on a nice day to play golf? Even if your kid is better than most people that probably play that community course? Gimme a break. Not convenient to anything either, avoid!

Nice Hills but Thick Rough

First time heading out to leHigh to play gold with my son. Kid friendly course with 6 tee box options and no issues from the starter. Lots of hills which I liked, reminds me of Clermont, FL but not as drastic. You miss the fair way and its pretty rough, hard to find your ball. Not a ton of water though, just the rough. Clubhouse has a restaurant, a chipping green, driving range, putting green and the community has a tot lot and tennis courts. Parking was easy and free, staff was helpful.

Nice Course but won't go again

I played this course today with my son. Got a great deal on Golfnow for a weekend in season here. Cute little Par 3/4 exec type course (Par 60 I believe).
Restaurant isn't very nice and the bartender was the pro shop guy.
After I start playing, the starter tells me my son can't leave the cart..'Says who? Show me the rules saying that'. of course there wasn't any. We caught up to a 4-some and we skipped their hole and went on to the next. Mostly seniors, gave me some unfriendly glares and body language.
overall not a welcoming place and won't go back. Course was in good shape, greens were nice given how hot its been and lack of rain.
