I play the course regularly, and have always liked the layout. When I first started playing before COVID, I was always surprised that the rounds, even on weekend afternoons took just over 4 hours. This has not been the case in the last couple years. I actually walked off after 9 holes during this round, as it took 2 1/2 hours just to get to the 9th tee. The pace was the worst I'd ever experienced here. Hopefully it improves, as I'm coming back next weekend.

The course wasn't in great shape, but for $40 I wasn't expecting pristine conditions. The course is short but fairly tight, so you need to put the ball where you intend.

As a TPC course, and a Hot Deal price of $200, I was expecting a tough track with pristine conditions. The course was fairly empty, so we never waited on the front 9. Unfortunately, it took 2 hours because I got stuck with a twosome and a single who was the human rain delay. The course was in good shape, but there were definitely some rough spots on the greens. The practice green was way slower than the course greens, which were super fast. Tough day overall.

The pace of play was excellent at under 4 hours, thanks to Easter. The course wasn't in the best of shape, and the greens were a bit inconsistent, but for the money, I wasn't expecting pristine conditions. The course is fairly short, and I got paired up with some folks who wanted to play the white tees. At about 5800 yards, it's short course, even for a par 70. Putts rolled well, but the greens were sometimes fast, and other times a bit slow.

I have always enjoyed playing this course, but the greens were in pretty bad shape this past weekend. I don't know if it's a combination of the hot, humid weather, along with a lot of rain recently, but several of the greens had some large dead spots, and a few also had a ton of little rocks on the green. Because of the rain the day before, the course was cart path only, so the pace was slow at almost 5 hours. I'll give the course some time for the greens to come back before I play here again.

I first started playing this course regularly a few seasons ago. Back then, an afternoon weekend round would take 4:05 to 4:10. It was great. The course is always in good condition, and it's very short and forgiving on most holes. However, the pace has really slowed starting last year and this year. Rounds are now taking almost 5 hours, which is way too long for a course this short. I hope they can get their pace back under 4:30.

I've been playing Cyprian since the day they opened. The layout is very unforgiving, which doesn't generally suit my game, but I've always enjoyed playing here. The greens are in very good shape, and the hot deal can't be beat. I played a lot last summer, and the afternoons were generally not too busy. I assumed the course's difficulty kept people away. This summer, though, has been an entirely different story. The round took almost 5 hours, and unfortunately my friend and I were only a twosome. I'll keep coming back because I like the layout, and if you put up a good score there, you've played a really good round of golf. I just hope the pace of play improves.

I played the course the day it opened, and have always enjoyed it even though it is very unforgiving. I was pleased to see it become available as a Hot Deal last year. I played numerous times last year on the Sunday Hot Deal, and was very happy to see that the tee sheet was often empty on Sunday afternoon. This led to quick rounds. However, this year, the course has been much busier, and the rounds now take close to 5 hours. The greens are still in good shape, as are the tees for the most part, but there are some bare and brown areas in the fairways. Hopefully the conditions improve, as well as the pace.

I live in MA, but visit my sister in San Diego frequently. I have played this course many times in the past since it's close and affordable. The greens had always been in good condition, so I was surprised by their condition this time. The greens were slow and a little bumpy. There were plenty of areas in the fairways that were bare and brown. There are many large bunkers near the fairways and around the greens, but there seemed to be only one rake for every bunker. I'm sad to see the course get to this state, and hopefully it will get back to where it used to be.

I'm from MA, and was visiting my sister in San Diego. I didn't realize how much of a drive it was to get to this place. It was a picturesque drive along some canyon roads, but it did take a while. The course was worth the drive though. Conditions were very good, and the layout was very picturesque. The pace was poor due to a couple groups ahead of us, but that was my only complaint. The complimentary tacos at the turn was a real plus too.

I've been playing here since the day they opened. I've always liked the layout, despite it being unforgiving. You really need to have your swing going, as there are less than a handful of full swings during the course of the round where you don't have a chance to hit into a hazard. There is a lot of elevation change, so I wouldn't recommend trying to walk the course. The course is in decent early season shape, and I found the greens to be a little inconsistent - they seemed to start off with a lot of pace on the front, but I couldn't get the ball to the hole on the back. The hot deal here is the best value around. I'll be back to lose another half dozen golf balls.

I've been playing the course since it opened. I miss those conditions. But after a few changes of ownership and bankruptcies, the course isn't as pristine as it once was, but it is decent early season shape now. Greens were quick and rolled well. They're doing some work to the bunkers on 8 and 17, which are signature holes. It's nice to see the work being put into the course. Great layout, with some helpful mounding and contours to help slightly stray shots back onto the fairways and greens. This place has always been a favorite of mine and I'm grateful for the Golfnow hot deals.

I'd only played the course twice before, and the last time was back in 2020 when all the courses in MA were closed. I usually ride a cart, but they weren't available at the time. I forgot how hilly the golf course is and I really struggled. I wanted to come back and ride a cart to give myself a better chance at a decent score.
It was a cool (46F) day with blustery conditions. At the higher points of the course, it was a bit cold. I started off well in terms of ball striking, but I couldn't figure out the greens. I'm not going to complain much about the greens since it's so early in the season, but I struggled to get the ball to the hole.
As I said before, the course is pretty hilly so figuring out the correct yardages with the cold and windy conditions wasn't easy either. I can only imagine how fast the greens will be this summer when the weather gets better. Overall, a good course with challenging greens, and considering the time of year, the course was in good shape.

I made a tee time as a single late in the week as the forecast improved. I've played here before, but usually only once or twice a year. The layout is fine, if a little short, so driver isn't really needed. Unfortunately, I prefer hitting driver so I took it out every time. The course was in decent shape, especially for my first round of the year and the first weekend they were open. Greens were fine, but the back nine seemed a lot slower than the front. Overall, a decent start to the year at a decent course for a decent price through Golfnow.

It was my first time in the Tampa area to play golf. I tried to do a little online research ahead of time, and this course was listed on a couple sites that considered it in their top 10. I definitely didn't feel that was the case, or that means there aren't a lot of good public golf courses in the Tampa area. The conditions, particularly the fairways, were mediocre, and the layout was a little too quirky for me.

Waverly has always been one of my favorite courses to play. A very playable layout, with numerous mounds and slopes that help direct your ball back on target. The greens are generally in good shape, and you can make it as challenging as you want by moving forward or back on the tees. My only complaint these days is more with the cost to play the course. I realize the cost of golf has gone up a lot lately, but I miss the days when hot deals here started at less than $100.

I generally enjoy the layout at Highfields, although the back nine pace always slows down at the 11-14 stretch. The greens were in good shape, but the fairways and tees had some really browned out sections with very little grass.

I played Cyprian on the day it opened. Other than the tee shot on 8 and 12, you could hit your ball into on hazard on every other shot on the course. Very demanding, and not at all forgiving. That being said, I've always liked the layout, and it is very satisfying to play a good round there. Just don't go there if you're not hitting the ball where you intend to hit it. It was a perfect day weather-wise, and I was surprised to learn that the tee sheet was very open. My brother and I were able to tee off at 12:40 for our 1:03 tee time. We were paired with a single who was walking, and finished the round in 3 hours and 40 minutes. It would have been faster but we caught up to a twosome in a cart on the back nine. Greens were in good shape, as was the rest of the course for the most part. I'll be back if the pace stays similar.

I started playing this course a couple years ago and kept coming back because the pace was so good. Recently, the pace had become slow, but this round went at a brisk 4 hours. It's still early in the season in the northeast, so the conditions are continually improving. I was taken by surprise by how fast the greens were. Fun layout, with a lot of birdie holes, particularly from the white tees. I shot an 81 and my handicap will go up.

I started playing Scottish Highlands regularly a couple years ago. I could generally find a good Hot Deal, and I enjoyed the course. It's a fairly forgiving layout, and there are a bunch of birdie holes, particularly if you play the white tees. One of the things I liked best when I first started playing the course was the pace of play. Rounds, even early on a weekend afternoon, generally took 4 hours. Last year (2021), the rounds suddenly were taking 4 1/2 hours. This past weekend's round, 11:00 am on Masters' Sunday, took 4:45. The front nine took 2 1/2 hours. We got hit with some sleet on the back nine, and I think that may have cause some people to leave, otherwise the back nine would have led to a 5 hour round. I'm not sure why this has happened, and I hope the trend reverses.
