Great value, decent course

This course is now among the least expensive in my area. It's a great value. The course is in fair-to-good shape, but many tee boxes and greens are under some degree of repair. We are now in summer and the heat is on. The course has no water or beverage cart and prohibits bringing your own, so staying hydrated is a real issue. There were very few players at mid-day, making the pace of play very nice. Overall, a good day of steamy Florida golf - I'll be returning.

Great Course, Great Time

First time at this course that I've wanted to try for a while. Got about 15 mins. of hard rain on the front, but the course drainage was exceptional. Course layout was challenging but fair with lots of undulations, blind shots, and not too many water carries. The conditions were excellent, except for the pre-disclosed aeration of greens, but even with the punches, the greens rolled pretty true. Very nice amenities, with ice/water on each side and ice in coolers on the GPS-equipped carts. Free included practice range usage was a real plus as well. This may now be my favorite course in the area, particularly at the favorable summer rate offered.

Another Going by the Wayside

This course was doomed by a recent sale to a home developer. JUST ANNOUNCED THEY ARE CLOSING ON JUNE 17 UNTIL OCTOBER. Staff confides this is not for improvements, but to stop the developer's losses - and will likely never reopen. It's a real shame, as this course was always a decent and inexpensive play - though not a great course by any stretch. They generally included lunch and beer (or could be added for $5 on a GN purchased round). The staff are great people and unfortunately will soon be unemployed.

Greens are rough!

Nice, challenging course, but the condition of the greens are atrocious. The fairways and bunkers were in good shape. There are better courses at better values, particularly while the condition issues exist.

Great scenic course

Enjoyed the round, finding the course appropriately challenging. The course is in exceptionally beautiful preserve. I was particularly impressed with the course amenities, such as available wter, ice, and vending.

Enjoyable Round

The course has an interesting layout, but I found some fairway bunkers poorly placed. It has a good number of water hazards, but many only came into play for very wayward shots. The course booklet was nicely done and quite helpful for yardage. Overall, a nice experience that I will happily repeat.
