In very good condition

I played late, in the heat of the day. Found course to be very well groomed, very few landscaping issues. Some of the tee boxes were dry, but through the green all else was nice. I spend a lot of my time off the fairway, but lost only a couple balls to long grass.

Play I-4 instead

I know there is court suit pending between the developer and the home owners over closing the course and putting up condos, but that should be no reason to completely neglect the course. On first arrival, no putting green, range closed, a water main leak running across the parking lot which has been going on for some time due to rust in the water. Could not find a cart without torn seat coverings.
The course is in horrible condition. My first shot was nearly lost in the first cut off the fairway, length of the grass was 4-5". Any and all rough is at least 11", I lost half a dozen balls. Beware of the fire ants. I saw not a single trap that looked as though it had been machine raked in the past month, many were nearly overgrown with weeds.. Let me stop and just say "STAY AWAY".

What a difference a year makes

Also played the week before. I hadn't been back here for over a year due to the poor conditions, but how things have changed. Only a couple of fairways that need some more attention, but the tee boxes and greens are thousands times better. Yes, the greens are a little slow (okay a lot slow), but I figure they are keeping them longer through the heat of summer to make sure they are really established, then this winter will trim them down and they will be fast, slick little mothers. I appreciate the backfill on #10 next to the lake, and the tree removal throughout the course. Have already booked for next week.

Caught in a time warp

Two years ago I played this course and it was in the same condition then, but not good condition. An employee stated course is for sale, so owner is reluctant to invest in upkeep. The mens locker room was in sad shape, and I did not enter the dining area. Not worth driving out to this course, try something closer to Orlando

Great course, poor staff performance

Booked and paid for a foursome. Only two able to play on date. Arrived at course after an hour drive (reason would not recommend) and was greeted promptly but given pushback when I requested two carts. (Reminder, I paid for a foursome). Eventually got two carts , and was told if I checked in now, could go out half an hour early with another twosome. Great, but counter person got upset I didn't call ahead that it was only a twosome so he could have resold my tee time. Wait....resell my tee time. Should have right there said would wait for my scheduled time and gone out as a two, but had one of my best rounds this year despite that. Enjoyable course with very little water.

Going under?

Entering the neighborhood, many signs "Save Windermere Clubhouse and Golf Course". Appears that course may be doomed as the conditions were just "fair". Many greens had "popup" weeds, with several dead patches as well. Not as green as expected for a middle of fall day. Played under a Hot Deal, but wonder if it was to much for this course as it is.

Rain was a factor of conditions

A lot of rain previous week caused conditions to be fair. Rough was really rough, greens had a cursory cut. Many greens had bald spots, but fairways playable if not soggy. Weather had fewer golfers out, so played alone.

Got rained out after 8 holes

Course conditions were fair. Greens extremely slow, appeared to have not been mown in days, probably because of rain recently. Expected play to be at a standstill due to overflow parking, but it moved as well as possible for crowding. Overall, not a bad muni course, but would not return if back in the area later on.

This course in cooler conditions would be an A+

Course conditions were wonderful. Just a few areas of moist ground from afternoon thunderstorms. The heat took its toll around the 13th hole, even though we started before 8am. Play this course in mid -to late October and will probably be a round not soon forgotten.

Very nice conditions

Day after horrendous rainstorms in area, course was not restricted. No standing water and few mushy spots. Did not see water in any trap, but all were hard packed wet sand. Greens in very good condition, just a few brown spots. Overall, excellent.

Greens rough for this time of year

While I didn't notice any problems with the fairways, many of the greens had huge bare spots. Even some irrigation issues at a greens edge into a trap.

TLC needs to be applied across this course

The greens were in very poor condition, the tee boxes not much better. I play this course due to affordable rate from golfnow and it is around the corner from home. Makes for good practice but not a golf outing.
