The course itself if fine. It's just like a thousand other Florida courses. But the real problem is that we had a 2 pm tee-off and thought we'd have until dusk at 6:15 to finish the round, only to be told in the pro-shop and then again by the starter that the cart had to be back by 5:45, no exceptions. This is the first time anywhere I've heard of this. It is a very busy course and we were literally rushing ever single shot to try to get the round in. But of course you're only as fast as the all the groups ahead of you. In the end we were chased off the course by incoming stormy weather but we would not have finished regardless. When I asked the starter, if we happened to be starting 18 at 5:45 could we play the hole, he said NO! "We are all volunteers out here and want to get home." Exact quote. So the course should either pay staff to stay late or figure something out. OR, at the very least inform golfers when they are booking that they might not be able to finish an afternoon round because the carts need to be returned.

It's an older course and nothing especially creative about the holes like you'd see in a newer course but the conditions were great. Greens are small and tough as they slope off in every direction. Would be nice to see the course smooth out those fairways that are bumpy.. Almost broke my wrist hitting my ball out of one of those depressions. I'd rate it 3.5/5 if I could

Crown Isle is pretty much my home cause and I always enjoy it but after a cool, wet beginning to June, the weather turned HOT this week and the course is in excellent condition. We got a Golf Now "HotDeal" so really enjoyed the value as well. Only downer is that the beverage cart was on on the course today. Bad planning Crown Isle. It was 32 degrees plus humidity. All and all, an excellent day.
