El Rio Golf Club
Played On 04/02/2015can't go wrong
nice little course, a couple of challenging holes, in decent shape, excellent walking course
Wildcat Crossing Golf Club
Played On 12/30/2013overbooked
overbooked, in a single word ... overbooked, overbooked, overbooked ... they swore that they hadn't, but there were at least 40 people in front of us at our tee time ... overbooked ... the course, itself, is pretty decent, and the flow on the course was fine, considering that it was overbooked ... did I mention overbooked ?
Mirror Lakes Golf Club
Played On 11/10/2013very long, wrtihing fairways, bunkers abound, guarded greens ... excellent
course plays ~ 6,700 yards from whites, there's a 700+ yard par 6, a 225 yard par 3, bunkers everywhere, some water, seriously guarded greens ... it's enough to make a hacker weep ... super experience
Cape Royal Golf Club - Queen/King
Played On 10/10/2013terrible, atrocious ... course course in extremely poor condition, staff discourteous, scheduling problems
bought an 18 hole ticket, but arrived to find two of three 9-hold segments closed, so was told to play the one open segment twice ... however, as finishing the 9th hole, several hundred junior golfers invaded the territory for a junior high school tournament, so effectively occupied the course ... we did receive "rain checks" for the remaining 9 holes, but only after I'd more or less demanded a refund ... all in all, a pxxx poor experience ... when it ain't worth the $6 ticket price, it ain't worth doing
Whispering Oak at Verandah
Played On 8/22/2013huge, wide open fairways; greens in only "fair" condition
course was difficult to find, used temporary gate some 2+ miles from GPS gate; staff only marginally friendly; course itself was "okay" with wide open fairways, some water hazards, but greens were in only "fair" condition; a couple of really tough holes (400+ yard par 4s from whites), but manageable ... value at a deep discount, but I wouldn't pay their regular rate
Turtle Creek Golf Club
Played On 8/15/2013atrocious condition, temporary greens
It's almost impossible to believe that a round of golf is not worth the $9 that you paid to play the course, but Turtle Creek wasn't ... it was a "mess" ... ragged fairways, temporary greens that were simply "cutouts" in what had been the fairway, not even mowed daily ... the upside was that it was a marvelous day in East Florida
Palmetto-Pine Country Club
Played On 6/12/2013nice course
a nice course,built into an enclave of older, middle-class homes, in good condition (greens had been aerated a few days prior, so those were still a mess) ... most holes were wide-open from the tee, with few if any water hazards ... a good value for the money
The Hideaway Country Club
Played On 6/9/2013an excellent, more challenging than executive course
an excellent, more challenging than normal executive course, in absolutely superb condition, even though the greens had been recently aerated ... nestled into a community of condos ... absolutely lovely grounds
Stoneybrook Golf Club
Played On 6/8/2013big bang for the buck
Stoneybrook is a major-league golf course, probably the best I've ever played ... the course is long, very challenging (water, water everywhere .. and bunkers, omg, bunkers) in absolutely pristine condition ... there wasn't even a blade of grass out of place ... and aesthetically picture perfect ... playing a course like this at golfnow rates is gooder than free beer
Herons Glen Championship Golf & Country Club
Played On 5/30/2013extremely nice mid-priced course in very, very good condition
extremely nice mid-priced course in very, very good condition ... fairways were green, as they should be; greens were challenging, as they should be ... only the rain spoiled a perfect day, and it wasn't bad
Myerlee Country Club
Played On 5/28/2013nice executive course
very nice executive course, well maintained with a couple of "regular" par 4s so you have a chance to iron it out ... played in just 2 1/2 hours, there's no trouble spots
Magnolia Landing Golf & Country Club
Played On 5/27/2013a really nice, top-notch course ...
a really nice, top-notch course ... plays long with lots of undulations, water and sand ... course in very good condition ... kinda off the beaten path, but well worth playing
Rainbow's End Golf Club
Played On 5/20/2013nice 9-hole adventure
a really nice, short, hilly, with good greens, adventure in the hills of North Central Florida ... it's not Rainbow Springs, but neither is its price tag
Juliette Falls
Played On 5/9/2013magnificent course, buried in hills, beautiful surroundings
magnificent course, buried in hills, beautiful surroundings and it was a marvelous day, all in all, a thoroughly enjoyable experience
Riverbend Golf Course
Played On 04/28/2013cheap, but ugly
the epitome of deferred maintenance, the fairways weren't fair and the greens weren't green ... but the upside is that it was less than 50 cents per hole, so you can't expect much, can you ?
Del Tura Golf & Country Club - South/North
Played On 04/26/2013nice executive course
executive course, lots of tight spots, little scenery, not a whole lot of trouble, but fun enough
Ocala Palms Golf Club
Played On 4/10/2013interesting, it's the only course I've ever played where there are retention ponds in the center of what would normally be a fairway
interesting, it's the only course I've ever played that has retention ponds (fortunately, dry this time of year, but a real water hazard during our summer rainy season) in the center of what would normally be a fairway
Citrus Springs Golf & Country Club
Played On 3/17/2013nice course, very private, incredibly fast greens
nice course, very private, incredibly fast greens ... shows typical end of winter brown
Kings Gate Golf Club
Played On 2/19/2013short, but cute
one of the few longer (>300 yards) holes had been cut up, so it was a "short-game only" experience ,,, good water in a couple of places
Candler Hills Golf Club
Played On 1/25/2013nice course, barren surroundings
in the midst of a new housing development, golf-course and club buildings very attractive ... definitely upscale to snooty ... course is long, in excellent condition, greens are demonic
