A must play when in Florida

This is how quality golf was meant to be.
Staff and facilities are top notch.
A must play if in the Orlandi area. Completely over seeded for top notch winter play.

A must play

Played many top end courses across the country... this may be the most beautiful course I have ever played. All greens are elevated so a shot slightly off target shot will kick off. Tons of traps and all were in perfect shape we raked. Greens were on the firm side. My shots tend to have a lot of spin but I couldn't get them to stick.

Worth the trip

The excellent service prior to the round set a enjoyable round into motion. From the bag drop to the clubhouse staff to the starter everything was first class. The pro shop alone is almost worth the visit with all the historic memorabilia and pictures lining the hallway to the restaurant. Practice facilities were excellent with good quality range balls.
The course was in great shape and the greens putted true and were lightning fast. Lots of water and tons of well placed bunkers that were all raked out perfectly which is rare mid-afternoon on most courses. I have played many nice courses and this one is of the best for overall service & quality.

Great shape for winter

Haven't played the course since December 2nd and was worried the course would be in poor winter condition. The course was in the best winter shape that I have ever seen it. The greens were in good shape and rolled very nice. The greens are improving in speed every time I play it. I believe it will soon be back to it's original glory that the locals tell me it once was. And like always the staff is great and make you feel appreciated!

Must try again...100% improvement

WOW!
Never thought I would play the course again after playing last year. If you have ever played it in the past you need to play it again to see the improved course conditions. We only played the back 9 today, but we were so impressed we already booked 18 for tomorrow. The greens rolled almost as nice as the Hammock Ocean course that I live on.
The new Owners have done a great job, but I feel they are still missing out with their internet exposure. You can't find a website for them and every search, even Golf Now's site refers you to the Cypress Knoll golf course and that's one you never want to play if you have a choice.

Nice elevation changes

A must play when in the Dells. A pro at a competing club recommended the course stating it's the best course hands down...I agree.
Beautiful views and dramatic elevation changes. Greens held the ball very well. Greens were semi-fast and putted very true. Unfortunately we played on a very windy day 20-25 mph, wind actually effected puts it was so windy.

Price was right

Great people.
Course mostly all weeds, but the greens were OK.
Got a $10 rate so I can't complain. It beats paying more at a range. If you want to just go and work on your swing it's definitely worth it.
Greens were slow but putted true and most were in great shape.

Potential to be a great course

This will be a great course if they put some money into the turf. Fairways are in poor shape right now it needs some weed control. Greens are in good shape and the ball runs true & fast. They hold the ball fine and most shots will back-up. It's still winter conditions so the fairways will only improve. Short shots around the green are difficult because of the poor conditions.
Staff is lacking...a little personality would help a lot. The starter was good and the maintenance staff on the course were good and friendly, the rest not so much. It all ads to the experience. No water in the water stands and they didn't mention that before we started. At the turn no food available fast and no cold drinks..gatoraid was warm. No ranger was the worst thing, 5 1/2 hour round.
That all being said, I will golf there again because the layout is so good.
