Turnberry on Nov 6th

Course was in great shape, especially for early November. Most of the carts were missing the GPS devices. We never got the ones on our two carts to operate.

Back to the Fox CC

Tees, fairways, greens all in good shape. Not crowded. Most leaves were picked up. Staff was friendly. Club house sort of minimal. Brats were good. Fairway mowers kept right in front or behind us on too many holes..

Greens and tee area are in very good shape. Fairways are green but some looked diseased. They should also be rolled smoother in the spring. The hills make some holes challenging. Staff was friendly, especially the starter

Course was in great shape. Can't figure out why they don't get more play. Rough was a little long. Lost some balls in the rough too easily. Staff was friendly. Grounds keepers on their lawn mowers kept coming up right behind us hole after hole after hole. Very distracting.

Nice Outing at Cary CC

Cary CC has improved greatly over the last few years. The hilly course makes for some beautiful holes. Tees and fairways were good. Rough was a little long that would gobble up balls. Green were decent but hard as rocks. Impossible to make a dimple or ball mark on them.

Spring golf at Oak Grove

Great course layout and views. Course needs a lot of TLC. Greens and fairways are brown and rough. Inside of the club house is nice but the outside siding and decks are in terrible shape. This course could be turned into a gem.

Early Spring at Marengo Ridge

Great early season outing. Tee areas and fairways were good. Greens were still brown and rough. Janet always takes care of her golfers and serves up those good brats.

El Rio Return

Not expensive for a SW Florida course in the winter. Tee areas were a mess. Greens good for March. Slow pace. Tight layout so you have to beware of others teeing off or the driving range. Scheduled tee times don't mean much.

Bloomin Course

Course was generally in good shape. Late in the morning, though, many holes had not blown off leaves and many greens had piles of goose droppings. Also we were very disappointed that the grill and or halfway house were not open that day precluded any food or drinks.

Take your Turn-Berry

Course was in good fall condition. Grounds crews were busy blowing off the beautiful fall leaves. Tees, fairways, greens, traps in good condition. Fairway areas close to greens had too many unrepaired divots. Crews should not place tee markers on heavy sloped areas. Genevieve at bar was very cordial. All in all, a great outing. Can't figure why the course doesn't get more play.

Not bad for march

Beautiful march day!! Course was a littlle wet but minimal mud. Course was in good shape for the 1st day of spring. Cart path only made for a lot of walking. Inclined and undulating greens made for a lot of tough 3 putts as usual. Almost too challenging once they dry out.

The greens are too soft and extremely slow, and this club has zero amenities.

Return to the Ridge

Weather was cool and windy but course was in good shape considering it was November after aerating, etc.
The course presents some challenging holes but not not crazy. Nice little pro shop, bar , and food service area. The owner, Janet, is what really makes us feel welcome.

Always a good round. Course was a little rough between aeration and unreplaced divots. Drainage/mud is never a problem. Staff very friendly. We always enjoy a brat after 9 holes, but the halfway cafe was CLOSED.
