Although the routing through threes an marshland can be nice at times.

Tarpon woods has the worst conditions of any course in the Tampa region.

That fraiways look as plush as a mexican hairless dog with really bad mange.

Great Greens and staff

I can not say enough about how great the greens are at Lansbrook.. Now the fairways can be thin on some of the tree line holes but as long as the greens are this great I am a happy camper.

Additional kudos go to the GM Steve Martin who is fabulously one of the most customer focused golf course GM's around.

A fun challenging layout that makes you use every club in the bag.

The fairways were fine. Most of the greens were in sold shape. I loved the narrow but long well undulated greens.

The course was well bunkered but some bunkers needed some love as grass was growing. I down expect a lot of money to be put into bunkers in the summer when rounds are down and torrential downpours are up so they get a pass on that.

With the ton of rain we had I had to play lift clean and place a few times but the fairways did not have any standing water like some other courses.

Hidden Gem

Sherman Hills is a hidden gem that proves what can happen when the owners give a #$%.

The greens were recently punched but the tee boxes, fairways, sand in the bunkers as well at the bunkers being well groomed shows that they care.

The routing was great with rolling hills, elevate fairways with collection areas and a modern take on turtle back greens.

There were a few greens that needed some love but at this time in the summer most courses are fighting to keep their greens fresh.

I loved it!

Needs more love and more time

It is obvious that they are trying to recover from when the course was closed as the conditions are not that good... But the routing is outstanding. If they get this course to simply average conditions I will gladly return to play.

Could be a favorite

I love the layout. I love the routing. The front nine's natural surrounding were gorgeous.

This course is mean off the tee on several holes.

Having said that there were many fairways that needed a lot of love. The grass was thinner than the hair on the top of my head. Some bunkers had very little dressing.

However the greens rolled true and I can't say enough about the routing. This course must be played from the tips to truly appreciate where you game is.

UGH

A golf course that has seen it's day. If they ever put money into this course I would love to play it.

However Cove Cay is in worse condition than the worst muni in Tampa.

WOW

The course was in amazing shape, Although open off the tee, I simply loved the routiing.

There are no Man Made structures, other than cart path, that come into play on the course.

My only complaint is that the sand in the practice bunker was very thin compared to the fluffy sand out on the course.

UGH!

Walkabout is a great routing.

I understand that with the economy many courses went bankrupt and bought by people putting them on basic maintenance. This is why I do not ding courses for bunkers that need love or weeds in the rough. That is not where your ball is supposed to be.

The greens are ok but many fairways are in need of help. Had 6 hard pan or simply dirt lies int he middle of the fairway.

It is August and I really love the routing. It needs to be in way better shape if I am going to pay higher rates come the busy season.

I loved the routing

It is hard to accurately rate a golf course in the dog days of August, but Harmony Preserve did not disappoint!

The greens were a tad slow but that is what a course does to keep them green during the dog days. The routing was fun challenging and fair.

My only gripe is that the did not have a great short game green. I like a short game green with a bit of a runway so I can hit shots from 50 yards in..

Johnny Miller, you are all right!

Duran rarely disappoints

Duran Rarely disappoints. The fairways are uber wide but you have to be the right angle and distance to attack certain pin placements. That is how Duran protects par.

Love the layout. Great bang for the buck

Although some of the rough areas are not maintained, The greens, tees and fairways are fine. Always a good test.

Although the rough has an assortment of weeds, It is not where your ball is supposed to be!!

Bunkers need a facelift and a tummy tuck!

The bunkers are in need of an overhaul. The sand is inconsistent or not at all.

I do love the routing. That is what keeps me coming back!
