It's late winter golf and we used a hot deal time with a 25% discount that saved a big $3 over the senior rates. The course has weathered a lot of heavy rain this winter. The fairways have survived in good condition and the 90° rule is in effect due to a number of soft areas. The traps are in rugged condition and will need work after drying out. The greens are understandable slow but also survived the winter in good condition. We play here a lot and look forward to playing here again this season when the weather and conditions are improved but it was great to play on an unusually warm day in March.

Cart and check in guys were friendly and helpful. We played with two other golfers and had a good time despite my swing leaving me. The fairways, greens, and bunkers were in great condition. A few players ahead of us failed to rake a few bunkers. We stayed and ate dinner afterward but fair warning, the grill closes at four thirty.

We played here several years ago and really enjoyed the course but it appears to have been neglected and needs help to recover. It is a fine track and I hope it does recover.

Check in was OK. No starter or cart person. Conditions were mixed between excellent for winter golf to some disease ate the green and left no grass. Basically about three holes on the back nine need help. Some where ahead of us a group was taking their time or just took up the game. However, it is a fun course to play in the wind and we had plenty of wind.

Check in was quick and efficient. Starter promptly started us as a twosome. Another twosome caught up and joined us so we didn't wait on the groups ahead as much. The strong wind made play interesting but we finished in slightly over four hours. Fairways had grass in various conditions but thin around many greens bringing the five iron or Texas wedge into play. The greens were fast and a little tricky in the wind. The bunkers are hard and need work. Off of the fairway, don't go there.

Check in guy great. Cart guys entertaining and efficient. Carts need replacing. Greens are fast and hard. Slow but bearable front nine. Unbearable slow back nine behind a very social fivesome using three carts.

Check-in guy is a pro. He was cheerful helpful and fast. Cart guys were friendly, helpful and efficient managing the tight supply of carts. They could use some replacement carts. The course has some water damage left and short of the first hole but nothing noticeable after that. Grass is scarce around some of the greens like all the Florida courses in February. So expect tight lies and use the Texas wedge. Pace of play was slow behind a three some on the front nine and they eventually got through a fivesome for the back nine. We had the privilege of watching the fivesome leisurely play the back nine. Sometimes you have to go with the slow pace and enjoy the weather and make friends with the group behind you.

Friendly check in guy. Cheerful and informative cart guy. There was no starter and the twosome behind us declined making a foursome with us. Course is very hilly and had grass on a lot of it but not all of it. It did have more grass than a number of courses we played. The greens were large and quick. The play was slow. The twosome behind us was not happy.

Check in guy was excellent and informative about bad weather moving in tomorrow. Cart guy was entertaining and the cart was in good shape. The fairways are in decent shape for Florida winter golf. They are fast with tight lies. The greens are also hard and fast. The holes vary from short and sweet to long and challenging. We were paired with two nice guys who were casual infrequent golfers. We needed patience as they had great difficulty on the back nine… However the foursome behind us never pushed us. Vacation golf has surprises.

check in guy was excellent and informative. Cart guy was cheerful and cart was clean and in good shape. Starter started us right on time as a twosome. The course has recently recovered from heavy rains and had some damage on a few holes. Mostly from carts. Nothing that affected our play. The greens were excellent and very fast. Sometime on the front nine play became slow and even slower on the back nine. We finished in a minute or two over five hours. We are on a golf vacation so we weren’t shocked by the slow play.

Greens were good with a few rough spots on some greens. Bunkers were good with about an inch of sand over a firm bottom. It was easy to spin the ball out of them. Fairways were hard and the ball really ran on them. The bad news is a lack of water. The rough is already burnt out in some places and the fairways are starting to suffer. The course needs rain in the near future. I don't recall seeing any sprinkler heads but we were not looking for them..
We will play here again.
