Excellent Southside track

Just moved down here and played Gold because it was said to me more scenic & challenging. It was. Good choice! Course was in really good shape. Pace of play was good. We let a pair of twosomes through because we were golfing with a newbie. Pro Shop staff was super accommodating & friendly. Ranger came down on us because we were a little slow. Told him we have let two twosomes play through so he backed off. 19th hole was nothing spectacular but doable. I plan on making this a must stop again!

Greens burnt to a crisp

Between my son and I, we have played Broken Arrow 20+ times and we’ve never seen the greens so trashed. They were brown and hard - little to no grass on 12 of 18 green. 6 we’re in really good shape. We got to the point where we refused to putt, gave 2 putts and moved on. Not sure if the hot stretch of weather did that, however, watering them properly would have gone a long way to make them somewhat playable. Rest of course was in good shape. For now, stay away until they address the greens.

Great buildup, disappointing greens

My 17-year-old son and I were suprised and thrilled to book a tee time on an early afternoon Sunday 7-28-2019 at Trump International Silver Fox Course. For the price ($65 per round) we paid, we thought it was a steal. We compared it to the other Trump courses and it was a deep discount to play Silver Fox. Brandon in the pro shop was great as was Mike the starter. It was a little bit of a drive from the range to Silver Fox, but we made it by our 12:30 tee time and met one other golfer to complete our threesome. He wasn't sure what happened to the fourth player who booked. Overall, the course was in good shape. Tee boxes were in good condition, fairway and rough were as well. However, the greens were sadly lacking. It's been a wet summer in Florida and during our trip, it rained a lot the three days prior to our round. So, I understand the staff needs to aerate the greens to keep them in tip-top shape. However, they were anything but that. They were fast, but sandy and tricky because of the various plateaus and such. It felt like they discounted the rate because the greens were so poor. It also feels like the maintenance staff has been ordered to focus on the other three courses as they looked immaculate when we drove past a few of the holes on our way to and from Silver Fox. To summarize, we were treated like royalty by the great staff at Trump International, but were extremely disappointed with the conditions of the green. If we make it back, we will be sure to give one of the other three Trump International courses a try.

Nice Father's Day weekend round

Booked through GolfNow with my 16-year-old son and me with a cart. Was $70 total. 7:42 a.m. tee time. Course was in really good shape. A few rough spots, but overall in really good shape. Wide open, but strategic bunker placements made up for it. Greens were lightning fast. I had a hard time with that because I'm a mediocre player. My son struggled somewhat too and he's a high school golfer with the school team. Was paired up with a couple of really good players. Had a 20-minute lightning delay. Tee boxes were in good shape. We played the longest tees. Overall, I look forward to going back.

Nice course, will return!

My son and I went on a wet, soggy Sunday morning. Wanted to do a quick 9. We were pleasantly surprised at the condition of the course despite heavy rain all day Saturday. Greens were difficult because of the slope and rain. Fairways were in great shape. Not much rough to speak of as if you did not hit the fairway, you were most likely in the woods. I was most of the day, which was fine. I had a tough time finding my stroke. Long front 9 on the North/Rolling Hills course. Par 38. Back looked shorter according to the scorecard. We played front. Looking forward to returning in the spring to play 18.

Make sure you play fast!

My 15-year-old son and I played at 7:10 a.m. after we found it the night before on GolfNow. For only $10 we thought we'd give it a shot. It was what we expected for the money. Staff was friendly, course was pretty easy, which was good because we are both novice golfers. Had a couple in their 60s behind us. Met them at the 2nd or 3rd hole. No big deal. Until the 6th. I guess we weren't playing fast enough. When we were setting up our second shots, he yelled "C'MON LET'S GO" FROM THE TEE BOX. Totally disrespectful. My son told me to take it easy and let them play through. We did without incident and I told the attendant of the issue. I guess they play their semi-regularly, so beware. Maybe if you go later in the morning you can avoid them. I would recommend the course with the caveat mentioned above.
