Nice layout, great condition, excellent staff

This course is always kept in very good condition. The fairways are extremely forgiving, and the greens challenging. The greens are Tifeagle grass and always seem to roll fast and true. They are as good as any greens in the area.

It is important to play the correct set of tees. The course difficulty is all around the greens. When it is windy, which is often, this course will offer plenty of challenge. It is a fun place to play.

Fun course, professional staff, challenging course

I haven't played this course in a few years, but decided to try it out once again. It is a nice layout, and the facilities...pro shop, restaurant and practice facility are nice. I played from the black tees that play about 6,700 yards. The greens are challenging and there is a nice variety of holes. It is a nicely designed course.

The staff were excellent; friendly and helpful.

The course maintenance was a bit rough. The greens were in good shape but had not been mowed and were extremely slow (similar to what I would expect in the peak of summer). The fairways were a bit bare and the bunkers were in moderate conditions.

This is a fun course, and I am glad I played it again. If the greens were mowed and the bunkers improved, this would be a great place to play.

Great course, bad condition

I really enjoy this course. It is a great design and fun variety of holes.

Unfortunately the greens are in poor shape. The were five or six that were horrible. The others had blemishes, but putted fine.

Beautiful facilities, great design, good test

I played tees that were approximately 6,600 yards, but there were several sets that were shorter. The course is a great design, with a nice combination of short and long par fours. There are significant bunkers on every hole and most are logically placed to make every hold a bit challenging. The greens were slow, but still very difficult. I would guess that they could be somewhat painful if the greens were rolling fast. Almost every green had several levels, and it is extremely important to be on the correct level.

Most of the staff was great, but the started must have either been very stressed out that day, or else is just a complete jerk. Otherwise...an excellent experience.

I am a 5 handicap and found this to be a challenging and enjoyable course. It is absolutely worth playing.

A good test for all golfers

This is a very nice course and enjoyable to play as long as you are able to hit the ball straight. Because of the tight fairways and required accuracy on tee shots, , the course tends to play a bit longer than the yardage. Also, we played a day after a two inch rain, so roll was minimal. The course is approximately 20 years old, and the Live Oaks are fairly mature which added to the requirement for solid course management.

The greens have plenty of character, but are fair and rolled smoothly.

I did play with a golfer, approximately 20 handicap, who hit inconsistent tee shots and lost a number of balls. After nine holes he was extremely frustrated. I would recommend that you choose a set of tees that are well within your skill level.

The staff, across the board, were extremely friendly and helpful.

I would definitely recommend this course.

Great Course, challenging and fair

This is a great course that I highly recommend. The scenery, design and condition are the highlights. The back tees are 6600-6900, depending on the particular combination of nines (27 holes total), but many of the holes require precise tee shots and/or layups. The par threes are all extremely challenging. The greens are large, lots of character, fast and extremely true. The staff are professional and friendly. Great experience

Fun course, great greens, water in play on almost every hole

This is a fun course to play. The abundance of water, combined with the variety of hole design, make this a good experience. The course was in excellent shape and greens roll well. The staff were all professional, friendly and helpful.

I definitely will play here again.

Great course, challenging greens, excellent condition and friendly staff

Great course, challenging greens, excellent condition and friendly staff. The course is "Florida flat" with forgiving fairways, but the greens are large with a lot of challenging pin positions.

The course maintenance is above average and greens rolled smoothly and very true.

Definitely worth playing

Played an afternoon round at the Players Club on May 21. The course was in excellent condition. The staff members were very friendly, pace of play excellent and practice facility was very good as well.

The course is flat, but utilizes man made contours very well to make for some challenging holes. The greens were in excellent shape, but a little slow (maybe just the time of year?).

I would definitely play it again.
