Good course, but a bit pricey

We took a shot at checking this place out. It was close by and available, which was the main criteria that day. Reviews were decent and I can agree that the course is in decent shape and the greens were rolling at a good pace (not too fast, but fast). We did 18 holes in 4:15 and really enjoyed our round. Had the beverage of the day and a hot dog at the turn. Both were great! Prices are just out of control right now. This course was $65 last year, I think.... I didn't play it last year but friends of mine did. At $65-$70 this course would get 5 stars

Great place to play

Greens roll true and fast. The creek course is a great challenging layout. Plenty of trouble if your off your game.
Staff was friendly and pace was good. 18 holes in 4:15

I would probably go back

Overpriced considering there isn’t a driving range to warm up and 1 par 4 (10th hole) is under repair and is being played as a par 3 and a temporary tee box.
Decent course layout. A bit tight. Greens in very good shape and were quick.
In a pinch, if this was the only option that fits your schedule, then do it. But Consider other options

Best overall value

We were in S Florida for the whole week and played 7 -18 hole courses. Waterlefe had the best combination of quality golf and price. Every course should be basing their price ration based on this value level.
Greens were good. Not super fast but not slow. Each hole had it's own challenge and the front 9 is very different from the back, almost like your playing a different course design. I will definitely be back

Nice course

It’s late January, so the conditions aren’t perfect but for the most part the course was in good shape. Greens we’re pretty quick and the layout is challenging. I think the price is decent but a bit steep..... but that’s similar to many establishments.
The staff was mostly friendly.... maybe not so much the lady in the snack shed. But that a minute of the day. I’d come back and play again for sure

Best course played this week

The GolfNow app only saved about $10/ player from what the course was charging. Had I known that I probably would’ve called the course directly and picked from more tee time options.
The course was in ideal shape. Challenging and fast greens. We played in the rain and still enjoyed it. Players in front of us were real slow but the ranger came by twice and it didn’t help at all. The guys behind us weren’t smart enough to realize we we waiting as well and hit into us a few times. That’s golf

Overall it’s a good course

The biggest disappointment was the beverage cart passed us on the 1st tee box and we asked her if we would be seeing her again. She said yes so we waited, seeing that we hadn’t even started. She never came back and the water coolers were empty on the course. We tried calling the pro shop but they didn’t answer the phone. So no beverages whatsoever and 94 degrees. Costed a small fortune on the turn for us to get a cooler and drinks and snacks.
Besides for that my only negative statement would be that the greens had this weird combed look, probably from aeration. The course was challenging and greens were medium speed. I’d play again, but come prepared to not have any beverage person.

Great deal

$60 each. Course was green and the greens were fast. Lots of sand....lots of sand. I found more bunkers than I I will for the next month. But the bunkers were in good shape and the course was great

Good selection and we will be back

Wanted a course within a 40 minute drive away. Chose this course from other reviews. Worked out well for us. The play was steady moving and finished the front 9 in 1 hour 45 minuets. Greens were pretty fast. Plenty of water and bunker hazards to keep you challenged. Smart play rewarded here.

Decent price. Not exceptional course

The play went pretty good in the morning, but we did get held up in the afternoon that’s typical for many courses though. Fairways were cut real low and the tee boxes were weedy. Overall we still enjoyed the course but it was the lesser of the courses we played on our trip. Worth $40 a round I’d say.
