Great SWFL course !

Heron Creek is the best track we’ve played this year. Challenging but enjoyable. Most courses have struggled during these dry conditions but HC didn’t. Staff is knowledgeable and personable and always helpful. Can’t wait to play it again !!

Great SW Florida course !

We play this course a few times every year and it never fails to impress us. With all the rain we’ve had lately, we thought the course might be soggy but it was in great shape ! Nathan and his staff do a super job all the way around. Great food at a super price and fast service in the Sandbar restaurant. Go there ! You’ll love it !

GREAT SW Florida Golf Course !!

I’ve been raving about this course every since we first played it ! We didn’t have big expectations as no one we played with had ever played it before but we were so happy once we played it. Now we go back several times a year and it keeps getting better every time ! The course is in fabulous shape, the staff is very friendly and helpful and Nathan and the pro shop personnel are excellent.Don’t let the par 62 keep you away - there are some relatively easy holes but also some that will definitely test your shot making ability . Play it ! You’ll be glad you did !

Great course !!

Absolutely everything a golfer wants is in this course.Tee boxes, fairways, sand traps, rough areas and greens could not have been better ! Kudos to Nathan and his staff on keeping this course in excellent shape ! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Carts were new and comfy. Great golf experience !!

Greens in bad condition

I wouldn’t recommend this course right now The fairways and waist areas are in good shape. I don’t know what happened but the greens are terrible. All personnel there were super nice and friendly. I asked about the GOLFPASS Perks were but they had no idea what I was talking about.

Greatly improved course !!!

We started to play this course in 2015 and it was not in good condition back then. They have turned this course into one of the best in SWFL !! Because of the strong storms lately, the back nine was cart path only but it didn’t take away from the super day of golf. It was always easy to find a dry spot close by should you need to move the ball on the fairway.Major changes include cutting down trees and heavy brush which allows the everyday golfer to enjoy the experience as it softens. They also put tons of sod down and redid most of the cart paths !!.Palmetto-Pine is my new favorite golf course.

Fun times at Maple Leaf GC !!

Played for the second time in three weeks. We thought the course might be a little messed up after the heavy rains but everything was in A-1 condition ! Sand traps were spectacular as were the fairways, tees and greens.. It’s nice to have good shots rewarded and bad shots turn out to still be playable. And another very good lunch at the Sandbar. As enjoyable a day as possible playing golf. Will be back as many times as possible !

Best executive course in SWFL !

We were blown away with this course ! Excellent in all aspects. Tee areas,fairways,rough areas, greens and collars were wonderful and showed off all the hard work that the pro,greens keeper and staff have done. Very friendly staff greets you in the pro shop when you arrive gets your golf experience started. We all had very good sandwiches in the Sandbar afterwards at the end of our round. Will be going back soon !!

Great golfing experience

Everything was top shelf from the moment we dropped off our clubs ! Everyone was helpful and professional and the course was in great shape - except for the sand traps. With our GolfNow tee time, it was a super value and we will be back. Don’t skip this course !

Great SW Florida course

Course was in great shape except the sand traps. It appears like they are in the process of improving them but many of them are void of sand and had many stones. Fairways, greens, rough and tee boxes were very good - some of the best around.
Staff was trying to do a good job but had a little determining time issue following junior golf program. We give them a pass on that and rate this golf experience as SUPER !!

Great SWF course !

Kingsway is my favorite golf course. It’s always in great shape and you don’t have to float a loan to play there. Putting green, chipping green and driving range are excellent. Grill food is always fresh and tasty and the staff is super friendly and accommodating.. Cart girl is timely and always has a well stocked supply. Couldn’t ask for more in a golfing experience.Will be back many times !!

Tough conditions - but understandable

Great bunch of guys and gals make you feel welcome and comfortable at this course. Due to drought, things were burned out with very little grass in fairways and greens were very bumpy with many areas of burned out spots. Refreshment cart was well stocked and Sherry was super personable - perfect ambassador for Majestic ! Will try again when weather allows better conditions.
