This course is nice in the spring and very early summer but the staff does not maintain the course as it gets hotter. Tee boxes need mowing on some holes, the greens are extremely slow and very bumpy. It looks like they have not moved the holes in over a week. It was over 90 degree's out but no cart service after 2 PM. Pace of play was horrible and not a marshal to be seen. Avoid this course on the weekends if nothing else.

If you are reading any reviews older than say 6 months they can be ignored. The course has under gone a renovation and is now in fantastic shape. The fairways and greens and in excellent shape. To be fair the greens were a little slower than I would have liked. Tee boxes are in good shape also. The course does have a lot of bunkers so if you struggler there you may be in for a long day. Be warned the course is a loop and does not come back to the club house after the 9th hole. They sell hot dogs on the cart but they are not very hot. On any blind shots I would suggest driving up so you are not surprised, they bite me a couple of times.

This is a fantastic course and I would recommend it to everyone. It was our first time playing here and we could not have been happier. They spayed disinfectant then power washed the carts before each round which was awesome. Fairways and greens are in excellent condition, not one dead or dormant spot on the course. *** Before teeing off on #14 drive or walk to the green so you fully understand what you are hitting into. Trust me. Great hole if you know iinadvance about the drop off.

The fairways are dead and I don't think they can be revived. While the greens are in ok shape the fairways to me are lost. Probably because of all the rain this year and last. I spent the day hitting off of muddy dead pan. When it came to chipping around the greens I just could not get under the ball, no grass. I really hope the staff can turn it around, it is a fun and challenging course to play. Will be back if they can save the fairways. Great food in the club house and staff is very friendly.

The course is not too challenging, would recommend it for one but the very serious players. Several of the groups ahead of us were a little bit slow but not too bad. They were older and having fun. The course plays along a canal with Disney boats that are constantly hooking their horns every time they pass another boat or go under a bridge. Very ignoring after awhile. *** Driving range uses special balls that float and don't go as far. I was worried about my game till someone told me. A bit a relief when your pitching was comes up 30 yards short every time.
