First the cons. The course needs maintenance. A lot of dry patches on the fairway and greens are annoying BUT I play it as winter rules (In Florida) and move the ball to a good area same distance. If you can look past that then you will enjoy your round.
The staff is great and the prices in the shop are good.
The course is very enjoyable. You'll get some challenging awkward shots. The greens are not very tricky but provide some challenge. All of this for 18 bucks twilight & not much more during morning tee times is a great value. Highly recommend.

The views and layout alone make this course worth it. However the maintenance might be it's downfall. The lay is very challenging and changes from hole to hole. The views range from community rooftops to driving over a swamp. Very scenic course.

I have always liked this course. It's close to my house and rarely ever busy, However it could use some updates and better maintenance.
First the layout. I love the difference from hole to hole. I like the way water comes into play for 12 of the holes. And it can range to as easy as hitting a 20 yard area while carrying 100+ to determining if you can carry 160 but kill it so it doesn't roll past a 30 yard playing area.......I rarely can. The layout is challenging but enjoyable.
The course maintenance (like I said) leaves a lot to be desired. Many a times some holes are just not playable or they adjust it so that it kills the main focus of the hole. Example: the 13th hole has water towards the end giving you a decision to lay up or try for what is an obstructed green after water. Sometimes that green is being worked on and you play it so that the water is taken out of the equation. That kills that hole.
The staff is agreeable. never had any issues and they always follow thru. They have a restaurant behind the pro shop which has anything you would ever want. The cart "people" are always circling at a good pace.
All in all, I'd recommend this course but would say that it depends on when you go. I know there has been a recent uptick in pricing but for your buck you can get much more elsewhere during weekend mornings. However, You can also do a lot worse. Definitely not elite but it's usually a good time outing.

I don't know when this course started thinking it was better than it was. I used to like playing here. But the last two times I have come here it has been very poor. The pace of play was horrid. We had 2 4somes ahead of us and no ranger to enforce the pass rule. The course it self was in horrible condition. Dirt everywhere, tee boxes were chunked, greens had sand lines everywhere. This course has for some reason increased its rates all the whole lowering its quality. I had a bad outing before and gave it one last chance........I'm out. The quality is no where near worth the price.

I love the layout of this course, however the maintenance is lacking. I understand they are in reco mode but even if that is the case some parts of this course were unforgivable. The staff is friendly and the restaurant as well. The pace was very slow. Overall, I'm sure it is a nice course just not during my outing.

I used to play this course a lot. It was always moderately priced and in fair to good condition. But around 2 years ago their price went up more than 35%. I avoided it thinking they must have up-ed their course and are targeting the more "exclusive" players. However, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to try it out. NOTHING CHANGED. In fact, things look like they got worse. The tee boxes are horrible. The staff always was a bit standoff-ish. The course had its cosmetic issues (still haven't been addressed). All in all the price they have been charging for this course doesn't match the ROI. For this price, add another 10-20 bucks and go to Biltmore or maybe even Melreese. Heck even Micco. This course is nothing but 5 star price with a 3 star product.

I have always liked this course, I like the layout, the challenge, the water holes, the risk of going for it or having to wuss out. I enjoyed the course. BUT, the conditions are below horrible, The "fairways" are patched up, the greens are sandy and poorly maintained, those things you hit the drive off are not tee boxes..... I don't care if the staff calls them that. 2 holes were closed or made way shorter. The staff is next to useless. BUT at least I got to pay 48 bucks for it. I have always liked this course. I used to play since Fountainebleau closed, that long ago. But what these people are doing is theft. Big time course fees while delivering such poor course conditions. I know it has been sold twice since I started playing there and maybe the new people don't care for the opinions of the public, but it's a shame that this course has come to this. Needless to say I wouldn't play there for a free round which includes a PGA tour goody bag and my own caddy. Shame!
