Always a Disappointment.

Been here several time. More than a couple months between each visit. It’s never been in great or even considerable condition. I personally think it is not worth the price they charge. It’s a good layout and could be a really nice course if they maintained it. But in its current condition I would not spend more than 15$ to play 18. Hire me and I would love to straighten this course out and make it comparable to Club Renaissance or Diamond Hill.

First time playing here. Heard really good things about it. As of 8/24/19 it needs work. Give it time to dry out and have the staff cut and clean. The fairways were not good. The rough was terrible. The worse part is the fringe around the greens. I prefer always to chip off fringe or around greens. Not here. Lost several balls because the rough was so overgrown. There’s no second cut. It’s just fairway and “oh no” area. Greens seem to have been punched recently. But they didn’t do a good job getting them back. Perhaps end of this year it’ll be in better shape. The layout was good. Needs a better course map. I personally play the course with irons vs always using driver then going from there. But there isn’t a good book to scout the blind spots. It’s worst a try but no time soon. Also. Their chipping greens are like the course. And their driving range is water.

Took my two sons here to play a round. Short course and close to home. The starter made a big deal about having juniors. Even rushed us on the third hole when the place was not busy at all. The fairways are good. The greens are cut like nice fairways. Fluffy heavy and very slow putting. The tee boxes were incredibly terrible. Crowned. No grass. Sandy. Weeds no where to hit a smooth iron. If you hit a good shot and land in the second cut you may not find your ball. Touch. Tree roots. Patchy. Just felt like I wasted 60$ taking my boys there to play around. Embarrassing, trying show them what golf is suppose to be like. Would love a refund.

I come here usually once a week. It has become my go to course. Great layout. A lot of room on most tee boxes for errors. Greens are tough. I always recommend this place when I go else where and get paired. Last time however pace was fairly slow. It was just my brother and I playing behind a threesome and they behind a handicap fivesome. For us we were not in a hurry. The threesome of old folk behind us however were. One hit up on us and literally came within inches of their drive hitting my face like an asteroid. So I picked the ball
Up and threw it at them :) real life. Other than that it was nice. I can not seem to break this straight up bogey golf pattern of mine. But I enjoy it.

I will say though ! Please diamond hill fix the fairway on hole 11. And the grass around the green. It would be great. If you could make the bunkers more sand less dirt or at least more dirt less hard ground 1/8th an inch under. That would be fantastic.

Rushed

I’ve played here recently and enjoyed it. However this time was terrible. I arrived 20 minutes before my tee time and I was rushed to the tee box. Literally. I was aware they wanted me to tee off however I just got there and as I tried to drive past the started to use the restroom he kept waving me down saying no and pointing to the palms. Obviously I had no choice but to tee up. No restroom break till after hole 4. No one likes to play being rushed. Then my wife was learning how to play yet a foursome behind us kept hitting up on us. Won’t go back unless I get a hot deal.

Single

I was a single and they put me behind an older gentleman group of 12 that literally teed off after I pulled up. Let me explain. I drive up to tee box one. I see a threesome at the senior tees hanging out. They look at me like I’m unwelcome as I’m only 33 then they tee off as another cart was pulling up behind me. He sits a few paces behind me as I’m thinking he’s by himself perhaps I’m paired with him. Turns out that another car of two pull up behind him and they’re with him. I say hi how’s it going. They look at me as a single and tell me how they’re with the group that just tees off and also they’re other people are behind them. So I say / suggest maybe I should play ahead. They say eh. Then drive past me and tee off on the senior tees. Hmmm. ... that cool. So before the other group came I teed off to split them up. Unprofessional older group. I know for certain on a par 5 I had an incredible drive and it was close enough to their shots they picked up my ball. I shot an 83 that day with two mulligans no reason I had to be at that pace behind those folk. O well. The course it nice. Needs a map or something since I’ve only played once and haven’t a clue to the layout.

This is my go to golf corse. Love the layout. Greens are always nice. Sort of inconsistent but that makes the play more difficult which I don’t mind. Great place to play if you haven’t already.

Ol Ed

I play here usually once a week. Great corse. Great layout. Played with my brother a gentleman named Ed and his buddy Tony. Eddy is the jerk who places the pin cups in those difficult locations. Haha. He’s a great guy. Pace of play was fairly up beat considering how busy it was. Come play and enjoy.

Beach Apollo

Per usual. Good place to place. Some greens still need work. Still get the feeling my youth isn’t as welcoming as elders. None the less a good place to take friends for a competitive score

Summer field

This was my go to corse over the summer using golfnow hot deals. However this season it’s way over priced. It’s a nice corse but for money I’d rather diamond hill.

The corse layout is decent. A couple holes are lienant enough to allow an off tee shot. Others not. Greens as usual are always kept up but some inconsistency. Play here a few times and you’ll find ways to drive par 4s.

Overall I play here when I get a hotdeal only. It’s a clean great corse. I’d say play here at least once and make your opinion.

The beach

It is in far better condition than last time I played. There was only one green that has Work being done. A par three forgot which one just make sure you hit it on the left of the green. If you haven’t been here before make sure your drives are straight or you do well with your woods. A lot of water but that makes it challenging. I shot an 83 if I don’t include my mulligan. I went with my 5 yr old son and we were in between two foursomes. So pace was slow but it gave my son a chance to fiddle around a bit with his driver and putter. I do get the impression and or feeling when I go there it’s mainly for elders as I’m only 32 I didn’t get the welcoming charm for other golfers.

Awesome

Beautiful course. Hard to find such difficult layouts with variable elevation in Florida. Turns out here's one the whole time. Very well layed out. Accommodating staff. Awesome back nine. You won't be disappointed. Unless you do golf now app it's a bit pricey but you'll enjoy it specially if you've a group at a relaxed pace able to enjoy the views and greens.

Great Place

Great course for the golfnow deal. A few par 5s a few par 3s and of corse the 4s. All layers out well. A few real challenges and some offer the " eh I think I'll go for it" opportunities. Once you get the layout you can attempt the corner cuts and shots for birdie. I enjoy this course a lot. Will recommend and play again.
