Great Mountain Golf

Wow! What a great layout with outstanding course maintenance. Every hole was uphill or downhill, and some were both. Excellent test of shot-making skills from uphill, downhill, and sidehilll lies. Rough could be difficult, and on many holes had to judge whether to lay up or try to carry streams. Great mountain views. Not for beginners.

Great course conditions

This course is in great condition. Other courses in the area which have a hard time coping with the heat and lack of rain should learn from the team at Lexington Oaks. Congrats to the grounds crew!

Looking good!

The greens have come in nicely since they were punched a couple of weeks ago. Only a couple of areas need attention; otherwise, the course is looking and playing quite nice.

Very enjoyable!

It had been about 6 months since we last played at The Groves, but it wont be so long again. The course is in very good condition, and there were plenty of workers performing course maintenance and improving the cart paths.. We were greeted with a friendly check-in, and then played 18 holes in 2.5 hours. Will return soon!

A fun round of golf!

The fairways and tee boxes are in good shape, as is much of the rough. Greens are recently sanded, and the manager was giving instructions for repair of each green. Maintenance crews were busy at work, showing that management is working hard to make this a top-notch venue.

Looking better

Fairways and tee boxes are much better than the past few months. Improvements are obvious. Greens are generally ok, but could be better. A fun, narrow, short course; great for iron and hybrid play. Friendly staff.

Looking Good!

It has been a few months since I played Silverado. The greens, aprons, and most fairways are much improved. I always enjoy playing Silverado, with their friendly staff.

A Great Executive Course

The course re-opened in early Oct 2019 with new greens. As of mid-Oct, the greens are nearly perfect, with a little TLC still occurring around the fringes. This was our first time playing the North (Executive) Course, and it is perhaps the best short course I have played. The maintenance and quality of the course matches their superb South Course. With a 9 handicap, it was a good test of irons, chipping, and putting. My wife also enjoyed the course, playing from the forward of 2 sets of tees. Do not think of this as a beginners course, as even the skilled are challenged a bit with water on nearly every hole.

Very enjoyable!

The fairways and greens are in very good shape. All we need are for players to repair ball marks -- yours + one more. The staff is as always, very friendly. I always enjoy playing Lake Bernadette during the dry season.

Very enjoyable

After a week of heavy rains, the course had no cart restrictions as the course was dry after 1 day of no rain. Course conditions were as good as I've seen them at The Groves, from tee to green. As usual, the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Great course conditions

First time to play the Saddlebrook course. It is in great shape and I look forward to playing it again. Darn near immaculate conditions. My only hesitation to play either course at Saddlebrook is the awkward feeling of having to tip 3-4 times, e.g., valet parking, shuttle cart to pro shop, cart guys, and shuttle back to the valet -- it would be nice to have 1 tip box (not including the wonderful gal driving the beverage cart).

A Great Day

We started with a quick lunch served by a very friendly staff, and then were well-served at the pro shop and by the excellent starter (Joe). On the course, the tee boxes and fairways were in fair condition, but the greens and the fringe were in excellent shape. Many doglegs with only a few straight fairways; a really good layout. We will be back.

Very friendly and professional staff, a superb and beautiful layout, and near-perfect fairways and greens. This was our first time playing at Big Cypress; we definitely will return.

Very Nice - Professional Staff

First time at Saddlebrook, and enjoyed playing the Palmer Course. Everybody (valet, golf bag shuttle, cart guy, pro shop team, starter, ranger, and beverage girl) were friendly, helpful, and professional. My only frustration was with the traps which seemed to consist of sand heavier than used in most Florida golf courses.

Very impressive course

Of the local courses played over the past six months, Lake Jovita is in the best condition. The greens are very fast, adding significantly to the challenge of a superb layout.

A great morning of golf!

Course is in good condition. No green-side bunkers helps with the pace of play and lower scores. The young gent at check-in (FSU student) was very pleasant and helpful.
