Palatka Golf Club
Played On 01/11/2021Nice Course
Nice traditional golf course. Relatively small, interesting greens, some tightness along the way. Over seeding makes for great lies in the fairways. I’ll be back.
Long Run Golf Course
Played On 08/16/2020Tough course, much improved
Long Run is an 18 hole municipal course in Louisville, KY. The facility has gone through good times and bad over the years with regard to course conditions and staff friendliness. At this time the course is in pretty good condition relative to most municipals I’ve played.
The course is under new management in 2020 and they’ve really worked hard to make this a great venue. Nice clubhouse and the practice range is improving. The zoysia fairways are in good shape right now (still some persistent bare spots) and the greens are B+.
The wooded course itself has a relatively easy front nine and a very challenging back nine. Holes 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15 require both accuracy and distance with big numbers in the cards for carelessness.
7055 yds from the tips and 5400 from forward. There’s a place for everyone.
Mount Dora Golf Club
Played On 01/06/2020Very nice old school golf course
The only reason I don’t give five stars is the shortness of the course (The tips are just 5,719 yards, par 70) and the spartan clubhouse. This does not mean that long hitters wouldn’t have a good time. Anybody would have fun with this layout; dome shaped, elevated greens, well groomed and well placed bunkers, elevation changes, and many mature trees to keep you straight. The clubhouse has a lot of character and probably looks the same as it did in 1950, very much in the spirit of old Mount Dora.
Very good course for novices who want to play on a regulation golf course and not be overwhelmed by nasty penalty areas though there are a few you will want to avoid.
Greens are in good condition, run true, a little slower than many local clubs, and a little tricky. Seeing the grain is very important. The fringes are wide and puttable. Fairways and t boxes are nice, too. The rough is mostly short, thick Bermuda, sandy soil with a lot of live oak leaves. Very playable but you are always better off in the fairway.
The staff is very friendly and the mood is laid back. Nice bar on the screened porch. To top it off, the carts are equipped with GPS, 2 USB outlets, divot sand, a little cooler, and rain hood for clubs.
Very nice place to play golf!

Timacuan Golf Club
Played On 11/10/2017Bring Your A Game
This is definitely a players course. Care needs to be taken with every shot. Water is in play on many holes and bunkers and mounds are strategically placed. Greens and fairways are in good condition. Got a lot of rollout off the tee and had to take care not to run the ball past on fast greens. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had great lunch in the cafe. Enjoyed the abundance and variety of birds in and around all the lakes. I’ll be back!
Dubsdread Golf Course
Played On 11/09/2017Good golf; Great Atmosphere
I had a lot of fun at Dubsdread. Nice mature layout and it plays longer than you might think. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Plenty of trouble if you spray it. Pro shop staff was friendly and helpful. Great restaurant with large outdoor seating area in view of course. Very good value with old Florida flavor.
Grand Cypress - North/South
Played On 11/08/2017Great Challenge
Great experience. Played South-East. Staff is at your service from the bag drop on. Facilities are top shelf. The course is in very good condition. Good landing areas with very challenging approaches. Fairways and rough are cut to nice length. Rough is deep but playable. Sand like sugar. Greens are fast and undulating but pin placements are fair. I will come back and play the other courses.
