If you play during overseed, carry or rent a trolley. We had a cart and walked farther than our partners who used trolleys.

Beautiful and challenging. Major elevation changes, extreme contours, deep in play bunkers: bring your “A” game and play from appropriate tees. Expect to be worn out by the end of the day but you will remember this place.

A nice course with interesting holes which are not too penal. My only complaint is that the whole course is Bermuda grass which was going dormant. (1st of November). Made for very tight lies and grainy greens, not what I’m accustomed to. Less expensive and more playable than some of the higher rated competition.

I’ll bet this was a nice track 20 years ago. Not so much today. They had some rain which made things worse. Rough was unplayable, greens had many diseased areas, cart paths were broken badly. Green fees were low and pace of play was good. Probably a reflection of the horrible conditions. I won’t be back.

Don't judge this course by the listed yardage. Yes, it is short, However, strategic placing of mounds, fairway traps, and trees, particularly groups of palm trees, require the player to pay attention. The greens are interesting due to undulations, unusual shaping, and differing sizes. The course is in excellent condition, lush throughout. Don't expect a lot of roll, at least not when the temperature tops 100, but you will have nice lies and the greens are true. My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed our round.

Played late Sept after overseed so conditions not great and cart path only. I feel the Desert Course, which I played most recently last spring, is a better track than the Lakes, but both are very good designs. I almost always like Fazio and these courses do not disappoint.

This course is a beautiful layout with some spectacular views (do not fail to visit the back tee on 15 or maybe 16.) Be sure to play the appropriate tee as there are many forced carries. Most of the difficulty comes from the jungle which intrudes on almost every hole. Length is not the big issue although you may not agree when you see the 18th hole. Bring lots of balls and enjoy the challenge and the beauty.
