Very nice greens

This is a no frills course that needs some work in the tees boxes and fairways; but the greens are really good. I would say it’s probably a $35-40 course when the conditions are right.

Lot of money for mediocre course no rangers

$68 on a weekday $$$
Tee boxes bare and sloped
No ranger - group in front had two holes open in front of them from number 8 on
Greens don’t have much grass
Now I know why I drive past this course 364 days a year

great greens

had not played SC in a while but extremely pleased at the overall conditions, particularly the greens. back is much tougher than the front but that's the way it should be. will be back soon

those greens

I used to be a member here a few years ago but now belong to two other clubs. and I'm glad I do. These greens are just slower than molasses. I am a nine handicap but trying to two putt is a real challenge whether you have a down hill or up hill putt. I considered using my utility club on the last few holes but decided against it. Course is in nice shape and the people are nice, but the essence of the golf course are the greens (IMO). word is this place is usually crowded so that's good for them but I won't return any time soon. SLOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW

Nicely surprised

Hadn’t been here in a while. Greens were very nice and the pace of play was good considering it was a Saturday. Greens better than most fairways but that is a good thing. Will return

great greens and fairways

been a while since I played (pandemic) but the course is in excellent shape. greens roll true and the pace of play for a Saturday was wonderful. Spacing of players was well thought out and might have waited once or twice on the par 5's.

much improved

my friends and I used to avoid this course because it was a total mess. pleasantly surprised that the conditions have greatly improved to the point where we will come back for the right price. overall greens were better than I've ever experienced at this course and they are trying hard to improve the overall experience. Really pleased and impressed with the improvements.

this place has some of the best greens in the area. pace of play for a Saturday was excellent. Course can't be beat. only issue are the range balls - please spend a few dollars on new practice balls some of them are twenty years old.

what happened to the greens?

uneven, bumpy with grass growing in patches. really bad greens. also must mention tee boxes are so uneven. nice people in the clubhouse but i can't understand what happened to the greens which used to be pretty good. everyone in the group disliked them can't see my group coming back until I read that the greens are improving. close by my house but it doesn't matter, I'll drive up to fifty miles to play on nice greens. too bad

Not as good as advertised

This is the closest course to my house but I drive by it every day, mainly because of the high price. Decided to play yesterday and was very disappointed with the greens. Crusty and bare on a lot of the greens. Not sure if a disease is present but I am. I greens keeper. Slow slow slow play. Did I mention it was slow? No rangers in sight anywhere but lots of startrrs and people in the clubhouse. One par 5 had four groups on it. Three par threes had three groups. Palm Harbor so much better. Will continue to drive by except for practice area which is fairly good. Won’t return anytime soon.

best in Palm Coast

John, Mike and Alex make this place a wonderful experience. it doesn't hurt that the course is in great shape especially the greens. Palm Harbor is an excellent course whether you are experienced or beginner. I ride by Halifax Plantation everyday just to come to Palm Harbor

Great group at Palm Harbor

From the people taking your money in the clubhouse to the best starter (Al) you can’t beat this club. Conditions are excellent and the holes are quite challenging. Best course in PalmCoast

trying to make a comeback

I don't live very far (one exit) from River Bend but i have avoided it for a few years now because of the poor condition of the greens. To my surprise, the greens have been improved so much that I will play there now. They used to be terrible and unplayable. Improvement is evident although there are still crusty spots on some of the greens. back nine is harder than the front but enjoyable. pleasantly surprised and I will return as lone as the greens are in decent condition. Cart paths are another matter (be very careful).

played Sunday then Monday; what happened?

played on Sunday conditions were very good especially greens. came back the next morning and greens had been sanded; not good at all. there was no warning or sign; additionally the individuals that took your money didn't relay to the players that the greens had been sanded. Wow what a difference a day makes. my score on Sunday was 78, score on Monday 88, three putted a ton of greens. I think its irresponsible of management when they fail to notify players that the conditions had changed dramatically. I like this place a lot but there is no excuse. poor management decision

I feel bad for this place

Everyone is nice but the course is abominable. Got a great deal for $18 but really not worth it unless you are just interested in hitting the ball around. Most greens were un-puttable except for 17.

Love this place

Greens were perfect. A bit wet but overall hard to beat this course for great value and conditions. Only played eleven holes due to big thunderstorm but went straight to my carr. Did not ask for rain check but I don't think it would have been a problem

Love the people and course but

right now, the greens are horrible. I realize that aeration just took place but there are big holes and spots of disease all over the greens. Putting is quite difficult to say the least. However, it is hard to beat the price of $25 but I'll wait three or four weeks to go back.

Good course not so good treatment

Rainy day cart path only. Played front in one hour fifteen minutes. Went to back nine there were three groups on number ten. All players said lady at desk who was acting as ranger sent them off on back. Had to wait 20 minutes to hit. Not so great decision. By the way all could have been sent off the front like me not sure why I got the short end of the stick

Meticulous

although it was rainy and there were four (slow) groups in front of us, the course is outstanding. Greens were meticulously cut and rolled very true. Played nine got a 37 then got a rain check. will be back soon.
