Worth a try

This course is out of the way and pretty blue collar, so if you're looking for the non-country club feel, you'll like it. It is pretty cramped in its layout at points, making missed shots dangerous for others on the course. Our pace of play was hindered by the groups ahead of us who were playing to a near 6 hour pace. Course conditions were decent, and perhaps will get better when winter is over. Carts and clubhouse were rough. If you need to get some practice in, or your non-golfing friends want to go somewhere they can be themselves, this is the place.

Not bad, but not great

This course is wide open and provides some water challenges, but for the most part, it's a 'grip it and rip it ' course. The day I played, the pace was slow and the group in front of me displayed no understanding of Ready Golf. The carts were pretty beat up, but the course was in decent shape. It would be interesting to see how it looks in the summer. I might give it another try later this year, but will keep my expectations low.

Slow play but a beautiful day

Had an afternoon open up and found a hot deal that was perfect. The course was wide open and the weather was great. The first 6 holes took less than an hour (my game was on!), but then...I caught the only golfers on the course. The next 3 holes took almost the same amount of time, and there was no way to play through because there were 4 groups ahead, all enjoying the day. Ugh. I left after 9 holes. Fun course, pace of play not so much.

Decent but not great

This course struck me as a nice resort course 30 years ago, but these days it shows it age. All grass was stressed, and it looked like regular maintenance was becoming less regular. It was an interesting but narrow course with greens that had many undulations, some making putting challenging bordering on impossible. If you get a deal, check it out.

Good but expected great

TPC Tampa carries a name that speaks of challenge and excellence. The challenge is on all holes, with plenty of water, sand, contours and angled layout. You can't just grip it and rip it. The excellence was brought down a bit because the greens were recently sanded. I only wish they would tell you that when you book a tee time! If you're new to the game, this is probably not your course..yet. But if you think you have the skills, then give this one a try!

A busy course with plenty of water, but the pace of play was fine and the greens were good too. If you're looking to try something new this would be a decent choice.

Muni done well

This course is a classic old school course, complete with tree lined fairways, bends on most every hole, enough water to keep things interesting, better than pasture fairway grass and decently challenging greens. The price is right, the course is fun and it fits the average golfer's game well.

Need a place to play and work on your game? This is it. Slow play because most are playing their ego and not their actual game. Price is right, so give it a go.

Bring your 'A' game and your patience

This is a great, challenging course that requires creativity and shot making skills. If you are just wanting to grip it and rip it, this is not your place. But if you're looking for a place that will require good golf skills, then this is what you need to try. But beware: because of the challenging course layout, pace of play can be terribly slow as people search for their ball in the hazards. Plus, most do not play ready golf which makes for long wait times between shots. Apart from that, it's a beautiful course that you should check out!

Once is enough

This course was poorly maintained and the greens were like shag carpet. I left after 6 holes of play because it wasn't worth my time. I won't be back.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve, and we are working towards getting things up to par. Thank you for playing Ocean View Municipal Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Nice choice!

Took a chance on a Golfnow Hot Deal, and wasn't disappointed. Hilly and challenging, but very playable. Greens were in great condition, and the course was well maintained. I would go back again. If you need a sure bet for a good time, check this place out.

Perhaps, but maybe not.

This course is a great design and layout. It's got challenging and tight fairways, and you have to put the ball in the right spot for a chance at the green. The problem is that the course is in rough shape. Greens are diseased and spotty. Fairways are roughly mown. It had rained frequently the week before we played and most of the course was quite swampy. Plus, the practice facility was in very poor condition. I look forward to seeing what it looks like in the future.

Social Distancing can be fun!

Colonial is open and doing everything it can to stay within the new COVID-19 regulations and still provide a round of golf to those of us who simply can't stay inside anymore! The course is in decent shape, but the greens were plugged and sanded. Didn't care! It was a great day for a round of golf. Thanks for being open!

Excellence all the way around!

What a great golf course! Layout and condition of the course, outstanding. Service in the course, superb. Check in and course management, second to none. It was a great experience, and well worth the time and expense. Put it on your list of courses you must experience when in Orlando. Fantastic!

Quirky but fun

Not you're normal course....plenty of elevation changes make this an interesting round of golf. Club selection is at best a guess, but that makes it fun. If you are looking for a unique place to play a round of golf, give this course a shot.

Took a chance, turned out great!

Had a Golfnow hot deal and my family had the time, so we went to the course....it was in great shape and has a great layout. Plenty of challenges but nothing that was unexpected for a links course. The only drawback was the pace of play. There was a foursome in front of us that was getting the full course tour, and didn't know what ready golf was....but apart from that, it was a great choice and I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Hidden gem!

Met a friend for a round of golf, took a chance on Summit and was pleasantly surprised! The course was in great shape and provided ample challenges as well as forgiveness. It's 2 courses in 1 - the front 9 is relatively flat and open, and the back 9 is a winding tour through cliffs and valleys....not hokey or contrived, but quite different from the front. If you want some fun, give this course a shot!

Okay but once is enough.

Gave it a shot, the staff was outstanding, but the clubhouse and the course was sub standard. The grass was more like a pasture than a golf course, and the pace of play was very slow, even on a Monday. I'll not go back.

Beautiful lake views but the course is built in hills and valleys. If you want to guess distance and club selection, this is the place. It's fun, in a quirky way.

Monday opening, great choice!

This course is in good shape and provides a wide open course layout for a very enjoyable round of golf. Next time you want to get in a good round, consider the Plantation course. You can't go wrong.
