A nice track

Over rall very good condtion, bunkers are dressed, fairways are good, rough is acceptable, greens are very good. Enjoyable round of golf, though a bit slow on a Sunday morning 10 am.

Enjoyable ROund

Course is in good shape for this time of year. Greens were punched a few weeks ago and have healed back to 75%. The fairways are very good and rough managable.
No complaints.

An enjoyable day

Played Lakes and Palms courses. Lake was in rather poor condition after the heavy rains this week. Greens are rather slow and very difficult to put. Palms was much better and greens rolled well. Fairways on both were good. Restaurant is back open. Very little play and pace was escellent for a Saturday wiith good weather

Course condtion is below normal

Overall condition of the course was below par for what it normally is. Greens are very slow and rough is very thick. Fairways are good, traps were fair condition. Two person per cart, and no obvious Covid precautions evident other than plexiglass divider in clubhouse. Several areas of the course have GIR with no real cause evident. Seems like management group is just doing as little as possible to make the course playable.

Poor condition

Greens have been punched and rolled poorly. Course is in need of water, fertilizer and weed killer. Have played this course for 30 years and it is close to the worst condition I have ever seen it. Hopefully with the rainy season approaching and the summer grass growing it will get back to reasonable condition. I will not be back again until then.

Course is getting busy

Played at noon on Sunday. Course was busy but finished in 4 hours 15 minutes. Greens were faster than usual, look a bit stressed. Fairways are good, rough was medium. Overall condition is fine for a public course. Better than most. Overseeded fairways and green aprons.

A good challenge

Not an easy track. Lots of water and some rather difficult carries for an amature. One par three from the Blues was a 185 yard shot needing a 160 yard carry over the water into a NW wind of 15 to 20 MPH. Next hole is a 400 yard dogleg par 4 into the NW wind to a raised green uphill. Course was in good condition, greens were quicker than most in Florida and the greens are very small. Pins were set in very difficult positions often tucked behind the bunkers and or perched on top of the ridges. Had my first 4 putt of the year! It was a fun, but challenging course.

First time back in several years

Course was in good condition overall. No real grass issues on fairways or greens which were a bit slow, but did roll well. Used to play here regularly, but pricing has kept me away of late. Played on a hot deal and it was a good value. The clubhouse remodel is very nice and overall better maintenance than last time I played.

Overall course was in better shape than recently. Greens were very nice, though slow. Fairways are better than have come to expect for this course.

Good Value

Course is in decent shape. Played Oaks then Lakes. Finished in 4 hours 15 minutes. Fairways were good, greens on Oaks were a bit slow, rolled true, with very few bare spots. Greens on Lakes rolled better and fairways were a bit better, (really very good,) traps were not raked in most spots. No complaints for the price.

Greens are nice

Overall the course is in good condition. It does not drain well and there was lots of rain yesterday. Course was 90 degree rule, but we played from the cart paths most of the day. Condition of the course is good, best I have seen it in a while. Greens and fairways are fully filled in. Traps are poorly maintained as usual. Course plays long as it wet.

Worth the Drive

Drove 2 hours to play the course on advice from a friend. Was not disappointed. This is an exceptionally well kept course, very scenic, and challenging enough. Seems like a fair test with wide fairways, good elevation changes, and very interesting countered greens. A great practice facility and nice clubhouse were welcome changes from many of the other Golf Now Course we have recently played. Overall condition of this course is excellent. And it appears to drain very well so rain or shine it is firm.

A good Value

Had not played here in 6 months. Course is in decent shape. Greens were furry but pretty filled out and fair. Fairways were 85% good. Overall, for what it costs, a good track. 6300 yards off the white tees is challenging for over 65 year old golfers. Even the senior tees are challenging for the two in my group who who plated from there. Lots of long and mid iron sots into the greens. Never had less than an 8 iron approach, and mostly our approach is from 175 yd. range.

Better than last time

Played on Sunday at 11:30 AM. Was not busy at all. Course is in reasonable condition overall. Greens were a bit slow but putted well. A very few bare spots. Fairways were good with mostly uniform grass. Rough is weedy but fair. Course is much better condition than last time I played in the spring. A good value for a decent course.

Good time

Have been wanting to play here for several years, but never wanted to invest the 45 minutes to drive. I found the course to be enjoyable, in decent condition with good fairway grass and nicely kept greens. They did some over seeding, the clientele and management appear to make a good attempt at keeping conditions good. The course is moderately challenging with a mixture of lengths, a few forced carry's, good amount of penal waste areas, and above average size of greens with multiple shelves. The variety of tee box lengths is better than average and does a good job of creating a challenge for many different skill levels and ages. For the price, a good value.

Rain has taken its toll

Played a week after Tropical storm Collin. All of the rain has taken its toll. Greens which have been very good have lots of bare spots and are struggling. Bunkers were all washed out. Fairways have survived fine. Still all in all an enjoyable time and a great value.

The greens are going through transition, the overseed (poa trivialis) is dying out with the warm weather and we are pushing the bermuda to fill in. I am pleased with the progress, a few more weeks and we should be back in good shape. Thanks for taking the time for your honest review, hope to see you soon!
