Not $80 worth of Course. Better $30 courses out there

Fairways in really poor standard, dirt and burnt out edges. Greens inconsistent but fast enough, don’t practice on the putting green prior as it’s a mess. Really disappointed, and feel duped. Wanted a luxury experience and got a municipal course quality.
AVOID. Save money and go elsewhere

Fast Rounds, Greens in great shape and Improving

You won’t get a better deal in the area. Greens are in great shape, tee boxes too. They’re putting in maintenance on some of the fairways. But you’ll get through a round in 2 hours. Took us as a Twosome 18 holes under 3 hours.
Love the layout, and it’s affordable. Don’t expect 5star resort treatment, rolled up paid and on the course quick.
My go to place for this summer

Once it’s private, you’ll be sad you missed it

Stunning layout, fantastic condition.
But overpriced to say the least, $100 for a course that’s out of the way and has zero amenities. But the course itself makes it worthwhile, stellar standard and fun to play. Will be back ASAP

Always a surprise. Best value course in SWFL, in great shape right now

Always a pleasant surprise plying here. I swear this is the most underrated course in SWFL/Gulf coast.
They’ve really put some effort into the greens too, some that were a little scraggly in the winter are luscious now. Sure you’ll find some rough areas, Bunkers, Cart paths etc and Hurricane damage. But this place pricing is so good, I’d play here every day. I love the layout too, some awesome playing holes and design. The short par 4 with the hardcore right dogleg, and “island” green.
I played at 7am for $40, and finished in 2 hours 20 minutes.
Off course amenities were killed by Covid, clubhouse is all you’re getting, no bar/restaurant etc. No water in Coolers hurt me, but just bring your own water/Gatorade. Practice nets out back. Hot deal at $22? Yes please.
You guys should be flooded by people, go here folks. It’s great

Changed place from my last visit

In really fantastic condition to be honest, especially with all the rain lately. Greens in great shape, although very very slow. But lush and with a cut they would be rolling fast! Had a great time, and I hear that Monday 8/29 they will be aerating. It was not Aerated for my round although it said it was. Great value too. I’ll be back soon most likely, we’ll see what prices are like when they raise them in September.
Quick pace, groups allowed me to play through as a solo.

$15 course masquerading as a $45/$60 course

Slow greens full of pitch marks, feet scuffs, bumps and bruises. Slow, slow, slow pace of play. Clientele don’t let you play through.
Made golf unemployable today.
25 minutes standing in the rain waiting on a cart….before I gave up and just went inside.
Go inside and they’re like You’re up on the tee now
Another 10 minutes waiting for a cart.
Only allowed water if you have your own cup.
Tee boxes closed with no warning of that from the booking, cart staff, starter or pro shop. Finally got to hole 5 and there were available tee boxes again that weren’t 100yard Par 4s.
Real shame. Boring layout too, not a single hole that I was like Oh that’s cool.

Awesome value for a hot deal

Feels like it could be a Tour venue with VERY little effort. Greens running well on the Hills course today, fast too! Even for the summer! Love this place! Would play every day if I could! Wee snack shop at the turn was important, as there is no water freely available until you hit a restroom and a fountain is available.

In fantastic shape, greens fast, fairways pure.

Really loved it! Worth the hour drive for me, in fantastic shape for the time of the year. And for the standard of the course, $70 in high season for this time bracket is fantastic. Greens fast, snuck up on me. I still managed to grab a couple birdies out there even with my poor play but that back 9 is tight. Love it! I’d put it up there with Waterlefe, which is my fav. Really stellar day, will be out again! Only gripe, Parking…just not good. They make you park miles away, then you aren’t allowed through the front entrance cos it’s “members only”, which results in a walk all the way around the building just to get the pro shop.

Becoming a new favorite

Conditions were amazing, greens were firm and fast but in great shape. Really love playing here, and the value for a morning tee time was fantastic. Staff around the club and the shop were so friendly. I’ll be back really soon.

Good value for early morning tee time

Greens fast. Conditions okay. Slow play was annoying. But great value for the early morning tee time. Played this a lot over the last couple years, the water in course was dried out...but still areas of standing water. Place struggles big time for draining during the summer, think we caught it at a good time before the rain begins.

Fast Greens, lovely layout. Don’t know why I haven’t been here before!

With all this rain the conditions here were PHENOMENAL! Greens were fast, and even got faster as we avoided rain today. Love the layout, carts, staff and the snacks on the turn. Was an absolute steal of a hot deal, if I was closer I’d become a member. Loved it! It was cart part only, but only a few bunkers with standing water. I wasn’t in a lie all day that was bad because of conditions.

Red 9 unplayable - Should be unused until it recovers.

Standing water everywhere, super soft. Great track just a bad day. Red 9 should be closed, made the back 9 unplayable. Should be sending people off Blue and White when the Red is in such a bad shape. Still good value for the course, it got a little boring playing it twice in one week.

Means to an end, practice golf at any time can’t be knocked

Been a while since I’ve played here. Grass on tee boxes almost non existent now, but you can’t knock having a place to play night golf for a practice. Really helped me iron out some short iron/wedge issues I’ve been having lately. It’s worth the $10 for 9 holes. Nice cool Florida evening.

Staff need to lighten up, great wee course in best shape I’ve seen it in

Been a wee while since I played here. Used to love coming and getting breakfast included. $40 is an inflated price for what this place is worth, but a great track. I love the layout, and the conditions were some of the best I’ve seen it in.

New course, great staff, great layout

Enters the “National” category of these gulf cost courses with such names. Great conditions, good layout. I’ve played others with better layout and more exciting holes. But was good value for $35 and the staff were wonderful. If this place shoots up to the $60/$70 range when they build all the houses...it will be a shame cos it’s not worth it.
Not up to Lakewood National, Esplanade etc. caliber.
Still worthwhile tho. Had a fun day

Literal Wee gem

Wee course is a wee hidden gem. Greens were stunning, fast, breaking. Fairways like carpet. They really look after this place. Was a great wee 62 par challenge to work on my iron play. Really felt like by the end I was striping my irons. Helped me break in my new putter properly too. Confidence booster. Walked 18 for $14, and was done inside 1 hour 45.
