What a delight

Played he course a couple of weeks ago and just fell n love with this course. So much so, that I invited a group of friends to come and play it, driving down from Sarasota. And it was a big success. Lived here for 13 - and finally discovered this gem of a course and facility. Despite lack of rain for a long time, (most courses are over cooked by now) the course presented itself beautifully. The greens were very fast and challenging, the fairways in great condition and here is the kicker, the short game allowed for smooth chipping. The staff was very friendly from check-in to pro shop and the bar. If you play this course, make sure to try their monster hot dog with fries and their IPA !!
I have only one thing to say, we wished the course would be closer to where we are, but we will play it as often as we can. THIS COURSE HAS IT ALL.

A pleasant golf experience

An old Florida course. It is not trying to impress or overwhelm you. It is pleasing to the eye, it is fair to one's playing skills, its fair to your pocket book. The fairways and greens are in good shape. It's your neighborhood course which will always fill your needs.

One of those courses I keep going back to over and over again.

The fairways are wide and forgiving, the par three's can be a bit more challenging and the 18th never fails to give me the right send-off.

Course is and has been in very good condition

Is the course in pristine condition, no it isn't, but it is a nice course, playing difficulty a bit above average with lots of water and at times very narrow off the Tee. I must honestly say this course is gives a lot of value for the money and average player. Thumbs up for me.

The course plays OK, the condition is good, but it's just an inferior course to what's available elsewhere in the area

It is probably not even the course itself which is frankly just so, so. It's the surroundings of cookie cutter housing which bores me to tears. That's just me, there is better around, much better in fact.

This course never disappoints.

i have come to play IMG for years now and it always enticed me to return and tell others about. Is it perfect, no, rest rooms need some fixing up etc. but it always offered a very fair value for the buck. Truly enjoy this one. BTW: They have brand new golf carts.

What a nice, nice course ...

it is challenging but fair, pleasant surroundings. Brought with me some guests from Europe, they loved it and so did I. Rare opportunity to play this private course, but I got lucky I guess.
