About
Started playing golf as a caddie many years ago.
Known for my straight drives but not very long.
I like my two hybrids and seldom miss a green with a 8 iron or less. My putting is average, better on long lags than short putts.
Give me a sunny day with a light breeze and a good golf course to play and I am happy.

Jupiter Dunes Golf Course
Played On 10/24/2023Palm Cove Golf and Yacht Club
Played On 03/22/2016Short and tight
An enjoyable course to play if you can hit it straight. Water comes in play on 14 holes.
Busy when we played yet we managed a 4 hour round. Greens are in good condition.
The Florida Club
Played On 03/17/2016Nice variety of holes. All but no. 18 which is an unfair and poor design. 3 trees in the middle of the fairway. Only playable for the pros.
Course gets a heavy play in the winter season. Prices are high but vacationers will pay it. Not a good area for the local golfer.
The Golf Club of Jupiter
Played On 03/09/2016The worst greens in South Florida
Prices are way to high for the quality of this course. They are just taking advantage pf the public demand for golf. The greens are terrible and the fairways are almost as bad. To top it off the 18th green has bare stripes ten feet apart across the whole green thanks to an oil leaking mower.
The Golf Club of Jupiter
Played On 01/13/2015Not as costly as some. $50 is a lot for cart paths that are full of holes and bumps.
The greens have improved greatly with overseeding. Fairways are sparse. Some grass, some hardpan. Not exactly lush.The holes and bumps in the cartpaths have been mentioned to people in charge but no change since last summer. If you have a bad back stay away ! Everyone complains but no one acts. Bad management prevails. Spend some $$ and get some fill. I am sure that the superintendant would spread it.
The Champions Club at Summerfield
Played On 11/02/2013Great greens and wonderful variety of par 3 holes
It was cart path only after a weekend of rain but the course was very playable. Several holes played quite long.
New owners are doing all they can to bring the course back to original condition as it was 15 years ago. I have played this course since it opened so I welcome the improvements.
Palm Cove Golf and Yacht Club
Played On 08/08/2013Great greens and a variety of golf holes
The greens are the main reason to play. The fairways have been taken over by weeds and foreign grasses. Much work is needed.
Heritage Ridge Golf Club
Played On 3/4/2013This course needs a complete renovation
Fairways are a variety of grasses and weeds. The greens are in poor condition, very spotty and hard to read even short putts
There is a video ad playing on local TV that is totally misleading. Many tee areas are thin grass and sand.
North Palm Beach Country Club
Played On 1/4/2013A great layout and well-conditioned with super-fast greens
This is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design Course.
The greens are extremely undulating and difficult to read and to putt. Not a course to play too often as the price is high and 6 to 8 three putt greens is not fun for the average player. the practice facilities are good. Nice range and practice green with a good bunker for sand practice.
Indianwood Golf & Country Club
Played On 12/30/2012A pleasant surprise. Well maintained. Overseeded greens are putting slow during the grow in time.
There are some very good par three holes. Also 3 good par fives. Some of the four pars are a bit short but require accuracy. Overseeded greens will be ok after they mature.
Because of the improved conditions the course was quite busy. May be a bit far out for some. It was a 30 mile ride from Jupiter.
Banyan Cay Resort & Golf
Played On 11/28/2012a playable old style layout. Not too long. Great for the average player.
The greens are quite slow with a lot of grain. Several have some odd grass mixed in. With a little TLC could be a lot better. You cannot grow grass in November ! There is a redeveloment plan proposed for hotel and condos. It looks like they are waiting for a decision. The staff needs a little polish and enthusiam. Ok for a $25-$30 green fee, no more.
This review was misplaced. I reviewed the Patriot Course and it was added to the Eagle reviews by mistake
The Golf Club of Jupiter
Played On 11/03/2012This course has lost a great deal of conditioning since last spring.
The grass is poor on many tees and fairways. Some greens are in very poor condition. If you cannot grow grass in the summer you are in trouble. It looks as if the green super has given up or posssibly quit.
Crane Watch Club
Played On 10/23/2012A hidden gem, well worth the distance travelled.
Evergreen has all the amenities of a class operation. The golf course is in great condition. Greens that are among the best in the area. An interesting layout, challenging but playable.
Hammock Creek Golf Club
Played On 10/19/2012The course was very wet, close to unplayable. Many greens had signs of disease.
Normallyy a very nice course to play, but due to many heavy rainstorms recently conditions warranted being closed. Some holes were almost impossible to play. We had to pick up the ball and find an area that we could hit from. Play was held up by 2 very slow foursomes. On the 12th hole we saw a ranger and we walked over to talk to him. We told him that our GPS said that we were 20 minutes behind and could he ask the lead foursome to pick up the pace. He refused and drove off.
The Florida Club
Played On 10/16/2012Course should have been closed...too wet to play!
Course was very wet. 2 par 4 holes shortened to 140yds par3.
Called in before booking and told no cart path only. At least 8 holes were roped off to keep carts off. Greens were like sponges, soft and bumpy. Standing water everywhere off the fairways and between holes. Starting around 12 noon, play was very slow. 2 slow 4 ball groups held up play. No rangers !
Hey "hockeyjock" thank you very much for the positive feedback! We are glad to hear that you got a 4 hour round in despite the course being busy! We hope to see you again soon!
