Water

The course was very enjoyable except for the fact that the fairways were dried out. Greens were slowed down from there normal speed I assume because of the dry weather. Otherwise they were in good shape. Traps were almost unplayable because of the rocks in some of them.

Love the course and everything about it but pricing is just too high for my fixed income. You used to be very reasonable on golf now but even that rate has gone way up

cost

I was extremely upset at the price we were charged! Consequently will most likely never go back! The two of us had a 9hole rain check that we paid full price for. We were charged a "special" nine hole rate rather than half of the 18 hole rate. So instead of paying half of the $47.50 senior rate each ($47.50) the person charged us the special" nine hole rate of $30 totally $60... In essence the rain check was reduced in value from $47.50 to $35. Its not the money difference that upsets me but the principal of the entire situation. Are things that bad that you have to take advantage of your golfers. In addition the greens were just aerated and we were never told when booking our tee time! We love this course and play many times a year, not any more!

Or first nine took the hours!

Although the staff and course we're ok we never would go back. Three hours for the first nine hours. Unexceptionable and staff did nothing to help.. we paid $50 on hold now and it was cheaper at the course?

Pace

We played at noon today.... We played the front in just over three hours. When we went in the pro shop at the turn and told him that they were five and six groups on many holes his comment was "ya it's been that way today. They are very slow. No I'm sorry, no. Nothing. My last time ever playing here! Don't waste your money.... The staff could care less! Not to mention the fairways and greens were all weeds and doesn't look like the bunkers have been touched this year. We finally left after 13 holes...

Grass conditions

Although it was early in the season, the greens were very poor and fairways are being overgrown with weeds. Not the conditions we expected for a$50 greens fee nor the conditions expected from these courses. I've played all the other big cat courses a few years ago and they were fantastic. I'm afraid time had taken it's toll on all these courses.

We deeply apologize we were not able to meet your expectations on your recent visit. As you noted, it is early in the season and all bermudagrass, including the TifEagle greens on Tiger's Eye are currently dormant, so they are off color right now (We do apply a pigment to help with color) but this is typical of all bermuda greens before the spring warm-up. I assure you they will be lush and green as soon as the weather allows. In the meantime, dormancy does not affect the roll of the ball (Other than making them somewhat faster) so the greens are very playable. We did have a major tornado strike our property in February and the cleanup is continuing after this tragic disaster, which severely damaged over 60 homes on Lion's Paw, right across the street from Tiger's Eye. It is possible the mowing was somewhat delayed on the day you played due to dealing with cleanup issues, but I will pass this information along to our greens superintendents and make sure they are doing everything necessary to address any weed or mowing related issues immediately. Again, I apologize for your unsatisfactory experience and we take your feedback seriously and will do whatever is needed to improve our operation. Thank you.

Grade "D" course!

Although the greens were fairly good the rest of the course was in terrible shape. In fairness it did rain the evening prior to play but most of these conditions were not from the rain. The course was flat and wide open with the front nine mixing with the back.The only thing that made this course difficult at all was finding your ball even in the fairways.

Horrendous!

How this course has a four star rating is a true mystery! The greens were the worst we've played on all year. No grass! Traps were dirt with stones the size golf balls. Fairways fair but had not been fertilized in some time. Wait until you see the cart paths.....Shame on you golf now!

Great layout

Although the layout was very good, the fairway conditions were despicable! If you like to play on dirt this time of year, this is the place. They do not overseed so the fairways were still all dormant. If I knew this I would never have booked a tee time. Also, the course was very poorly marked. Difficult at times finding proper tee box.

Disappointing

This was the second course we have booked on Golf now and the second disappointment. The fairways were still covered with dead leaves from winter kill, bunkers poorly raked. Very little had been done to the course and no one working on it. Can't tell you about the restaurant as when we came in at five o'clock on a Sat everything was closed as I'm sure the course still be soon.

Disappointing

The pace of play and conditions were disappointing to say the least. We had heard the course had improved from a couple years ago, not the case! The fairways are thin and Bermuda still was fully dormant and very thin. The greens were not consistent and loaded with poana. At times there were four groups on one hole with no ranger. We had a foursome in front of us sharing clubs and giving lessons.....not the thing to do on the course...

Very Disapointing

Although the course was dry, the greens had not been mowed in days. The bunkers, most, were not repaired or raked since the hurricane....The rough also had not been mowed in days....Although it was a Monday we saw no one working on the course, not even removing debris from the hurricane.

The course was unplayable!

This course was so bad we left after playing five holes. I understand it has been very wet lately but that doesn't explain the weeds and dead grass in many of the fairways. Beeing fair they have had fifteen inches of rain over the last three weeks but I don't believe that explains all the conditions.

Great Features

Although the course had a great layout and mostly in good shape, the greens were extremely slow and poorly maintained as were the sand traps. The traps had not been raked that day at least. I would not go out of my way to play again!

Marflo I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I checked our maintenance log and saw that the bunkers were raked that day (as they are every day) maybe you played early before they were done? As far as the greens go, it is a constant battle this time of year when it is hot and humid there is a fine line between keeping them healthy and a little longer vs risking their health and making them faster. Again, however, when looking at my logs I see that they were rolled and double cut the very next day after you played. I'd love for you to give us another try!
