Great course for left handers!

Almost every hole on this course is set up more for left-handed golfers, which is why I like it. The greens are almost all sloped in some way making putting important if you're going to score well. I've been here a number of times over the years, due to the reasonable price and the food has never been good and there is just a skiff of sand in all the bunkers. Otherwise, it's a great place to golf!

Beautiful Course, But Too Wet To Play

We played this course in the afternoon, after a day and a half deluge of rain. The fairways were absolutely soaked with puddle after puddle and rivers of water on the sides of the fairways. We were told that carts were not available and that we could walk. We could have used a boat to play the course. Although the layout of the course and the condition of the course (aside from the water) were both excellent, it really should have been closed till some of the water had drained. It was not pleasurable to play in that condition, although we were offered free pull carts, since we had booked, and prepaid for riding carts. No other reimbursement was offered. Would love to play the course again....on a drier day!

Great Course for a Good Price

If this course were closer to home, we'd play it lots. It is always in great shape and is a fun layout. Greens are in excellent shape and pretty quick. Stay in the middle and you'll avoid some problems in the rough and trees. Well worth the drive and the greens fee!

Always a Challenge!

Really good course for a fair price. Challenging layout that's in excellent shape. Fairways, sand traps and greens are very playable. Only criticism is the length of the rough. Very thick and long. You can lose a ball only a couple yards of the fairway. Otherwise, a great day!

Well worth the Drive

We play this course on a regular basis because it is reasonably priced, well cared for, staff is extremely friendly and it is a challenge to score well. It may look easy at first, due to length, but there are so many potential problems if you do not hit the shots. They're not sneaky...they're right in front of you, but you have to choose the right club and hit it well. It's a lot of fun, especially when your playing partner is playing well!

Good Course, Nice Day

Haven't played here for years! Couldn't even remember most holes. And, to make it harder, they've changed the layout of the holes. LOL Very well kept. New electric carts..some with GPS. A fun course that you could play well once you've played it and know where the trouble is. Price is very good! We'll be back!

Winter was not kind to the greens

Although this course is quite a ways to go it's always worth the drive. It's a challenging, fun course. Pretty much always in great shape. This year the greens are not in great shape. Must be the tough winter. I'm sure they will get them in shape soon.

Fun on a wet course

The course was very wet, but should dry out in a week or so, according to the proshop fella. Staff is always great here and the course is kept up. We'll be back when it's a little drier.

Tough Course - Hit Straight!

There are a number of fairly straightforward holes on this course, but there are also a number of challenging ones. You have to be able to make a straight shot here on some very tight holes. For early season, it was in good shape, with most bunkers recently maintained and they were allowing carts on the paths. Lots of fun and challenges.

Great course!

Played this course 3 times while on a recent trip, once with the boys and twice with my wife. We all enjoyed the course and the brand new electric carts, delivered the first day we played it. The greens were slower than all the other courses due to not being cut as short. Best looking greens we played though. Fairways were very healthy and lots of grass under your ball. Our only complaint was that they did not have a replay rate. Weird for Florida. Julie in the bar was fantastic and understands customer service!!!

Play it while you can!

Played this course twice on our recent trip. It is in great shape and is well taken care of! Once all the houses are built it will likely be private, so if you're in the area, play it while you can...well worth it!

Great course!

Course is very well looked after. They've changed the holes around, so if you have a GPS, ask before you go out. All staff was friendly, especially Dave the Marshall, except Dave from NY at the starter shack...he needs lessons on customer service...swearing when customers are around and bad attitude as well.... get rid of him for a topnotch customer experience.

Not worth the deal

We got a good deal on Golfnow, but the course is in rough shape. It's playable but lots more courses in the area that take better care of their course. Not one I'll come back to.

Challenging Layout

This is a great course! Loved it so much we played it twice! For a Florida course at this time of year, it is in great shape!! Lots of challenge to the white tees. Need to play smart if you're going to score well. Very well maintained and still working to get things over Irma...and they've done a great job! Thanks to the staff!!!

Fun Course - Friendly Staff

Played 2 rounds here. First was with another fellow to round out our 4some. Good to have Dave there...he played it before, but most obstacles are obvious from the tees. It's in good shape. They're working on the areas that need attention and for the most part it's very playable. Replay rate was great and it only took the 3 of us a couple hours after 2:30 as the course was pretty much empty. Thanks Majestic staff!!

Always a fun challenge

Even though this was a late fall round, the course was in great shape! They do a really good job taking care of it! Busier than I would have expected since the wind was very cold and not much sun. Restaurant was warm, staff was friendly and food was delicious!

Great course spoiled by the rain and cold

Course was in great shape, as usual. Not very busy due to the weather. Foursome of young guys let my wife and I play through on the 3rd hole. Didn't stop until it rained on #12. Didn't mind because we had a great deal on GolfNow. Play this course whenever we're in the area. Love it!

Didn't think we'd get it in.

Booked knowing it was going to be cold and wet. It was both, but most of the rain held off. Much more enjoyable than it might have been. Course was in great shape, even with the aeration near the greens. It's very flat but with the mounds and water and sand, it's more than challenging. You need to be accurate to score well. Not many other golfers out, so pace was great! One fellow working in the pro shop was friendly even though they were down to their last few snacks. Well worth the time and money!
