under construction

we got to the course and noticed scalloped greens on the way to check in.thr fairways were decent , the sand traps were hardpan. it rained twice during the round allowing us time in the restaurant-bar. not much of a menu. the second nine routed us through construction zone in a housing development. a few of the holes did not look too good.there are too many courses in central florida to play here soon again. maybe next fall

well maintained

this course is always maintained properly and is a pleasure to play. the greens and fairways leave nothing to be desired. however i don't think the yardage on the scorecard reflects the true yardage on the course. the staff is very helpful but there was no beverage cart or driving range.

2 different 9's

the front nine has tree lined fairways and standard terrain.the back 9 has several spectacular holes in and around a rock quarry.the fairways and greens were in excellent condition and presented a real challenge. the staff was most accommodating and made for a pleasurable round of golf. this course is on my regular
play course list .

Lots of water

This is a must play course. The tee boxes to the greens were all in great shape. The challenge of the course is not only water on many holes but that there are no flat lies within 100 yards of the green or on the greens themselves. The traps were strategically placed and maintained properly. The putting surface was consistent and challenging because of the differences of contour throughout the whole course. The cart attendants provided excellent service, the only drawback that day was there were no beverage cart girls on the course. The club house was filled with several events making it difficult to get any beverages. I would go back to this course in a heart beat.

lack of communication

got to the course, checked in at pro shop ,went to first tee and the sprinklers were on. another golfer saw me and shouted that the front nine was closed. went to tee #10 and found out that not only had the tee boxes been punched but so had the fairways so no roll on the drive also. had to play 18 holes of punched fairways. no notification on golf now at the time of booking and the pro shop was quiet also. several of the greens needed repairs also. not the day of golf I had expected. wait a few months before playing again.

great 15 holes

the front nine was in excellent shape. the fairways were lush, the tee boxes were well maintained and the greens though

a little slow were consistent and rolled well.but on the back nine there were 3 holes closed due to flooding. overall the course was a pleasure to play but there was no mention by the gentleman in the pro shop or by golfnow at the time of booking .the grille was closed at 2pm. If the three flooded holes were as the other 15 I would have rated this course higher.

great elevation changes

from the time i entered the pro shop to the time my foursome finished lunch it was a wonderful experience. the starter got us out a little early after we hit a free bag of golf balls and tested the putting greens. some of the holes offer a panoramic view of the surrounding counties and the various elevation changes were a pleasant change from most of the flat florida courses we had been playing. the tee boxes and fairways were in great shape and the numerous sand traps were strategically
placed . the greens were multi level, undulating and fast. bring your "A" game. after the round we had lunch in the clubhouse, everyone had something different and we were all very happy as we left this course. if you don't try the chili you are missing out. we can't wait to play here again.

fresh sod on greens

this course is ok if you don't want to putt.several of the greens have pieces of sod in the middle of them. i play courses all over the bay area and these are by far the worst excuse for greens i have ever seen. that said,the fairways were decent but the tee boxes need some work stay away

play this course

from the time we valet parked i was in love with this place. the locker rooms were exquisite and well appointed. the pro shop even had a hat i bought on sale..this course made me wish i had brought my camera. each hole was more beautiful than the last one. the greens were quite challanging and undulating with several different levels. play the course. you will find danger lurking insome of the large sand traps and fairways that are sloped toward the water. bring your A GAME .
i can"t wait to play it again.

Great potential

Exciting new course on the local golf scene. Though still under construction in several areas the course could be great. Lots of water, several forced carries, and abundant sand. The course has several dog legs that adds challenge. Some of the greens are still under repair, but they rolled very well. The course amenities are second to none. Will play again soon!

great course

this course is in great shape.the greens were smooth and not too slow once the sun got to them.the fairways were pristine and the golf cart paths in good shape..the sand traps were a little hard and could use more sand. the tee boxes could use a little attention., but overall the course was a pleasure to play

hit the ball straight

hit the ball straight and you will not have to search for a ball three feet off the fairway. in the tall grass.the greens, though a little slow ran consistent . the sand traps could use some sand. the fairways were in good shape and the ground crews were everywhere. a good value for the price. don't play after too much rain, the course can get real soggy.

temporary greens

I was surprised to find all the greens had been under repair and temporary ones in play. nonetheless we decided to play. the pro shop attendant was very nice and said an alert had been posted about the greens. the course had sparse fairways in spots, the tee boxes were just okay. the course layout was challenging and demanded your full attention with many blind shots and doglegs. I can't wait to play this course again with the new greens

lots of water

this course is in great shape.many holes require placement off the tee box . although many holes have water you don't have to play in it. the greens were a little slow , but very consistent. the pro shop is fine and you can easily spend some time in the clubhouse. .can't wait to play again

a hidden gem

this course really gave the country club feel. the greens were some of the best in central west coast. the fairways were lush, only one bad tee box.great ball washers. no gps on carts though. if you want to play one of the best courses ( besides innisbrook) in this area , don't miss this one. the staff was professional and cordial. the pro shop is in the cart barn building. the club house, bar and restaurant were appropriate for a course of this stature. can't wait to play it again

A LITTLE TOO MUCH

THEY CHARGED MORE FOR THIS COURSE THAN THE OTHER TWO I PLAYED NEARBY AND THEY WERE A LITTLE NICER COURSES. THE TEE BOXES WERE JUST O'K AND THE GREENS WERE ALITTLE SLOW. IT WAS A FUN COURSE WITH A FEW UNEXPECTED SURPRISES.

great views

this course meanders through a neighborhood but the fairways were still very generous and in great condition.the elevation changes made for some interesting lies.most of the greens were in perfect condition, but a few had been scalped on the outer perimeter.the clubhouse was beautiful and the pro shop was fully stocked.the employees were very helpful and courteous. this course is well maintained and a must play for the views alone. it will become one of my go to courses in the future. p.s. nice touch to have the yardage markers on all the sprinkler heads.
