Out of town with the boys

Our wives were busy all day, so we have the all day Hall-Pass. Met some friends and had a great round at Palm Harbor. Second time playing and it was in excelent shape. Greens and tee boxes were nice, some fairways were a little skinny. Also had a late lunch and our sandwiches were hot and fresh. Our server was friendly and exacting. Great rate on GolfNow for a Saturday morning.

Great day w the buddies.

We picked Palm Harbor because it was between Jacksonville and New Smyrna Beach and it was the right choice. We love the layout, amenities, and friendly staff. We also had a wonderful lunch. The practice facilities are great as well. Will put this on our regular rotation. Just needs a friendly cart person to complete the experience.

Friday in the rough

I hadn't played Cimarrone GC in years and was looking forward to being reacquainted. A friend and I played with 2 younger guys and had a great time with them, but can't say the same about the course. While a lot of places are charging weekend rates for Friday play, we all felt that $50 was too much for this place in this condition. While I like the course and layout (very challenging), it was in poor shape due to 2 features: the greens were in bad shape (no grass in many places) with a lot of scalped areas and the rough had not been mowed in many days leading to trouble finding your ball (we commented that it was US Open rough). This length of grass for the rough makes a course like Cimarrone almost unplayable. Tee boxes were in good shape and because of recent rains, there was plenty of grass in the fairways. We joked that we should ask for $10-20 back on our green fees. I will go back, but hope they can get these 2 areas in better shape or lower their fees.

Great afternoon at Osprey

3 of us teed off in the afternoon on a perfect Nov day for golf. Course was in great shape and the greens were almost perfect. From the arrival we had very helpful staff take care of us. The man and lady at the bag drop were so nice and the pro shop was very courteous in checking us in. The range balls were a nice bonus. We love this course and will return. Wish my regular traveling Saturday group would go here.

Eagles and Turkeys galore

4 of us started in chilly conditions, but sunny skies warmed us quickly. We saw 2 beautiful bald eagles on the first tee and a flock of turkeys on the 3rd hole, a Tom and his hens. Course was in fine shape, the greens were nice and firm, rolling moderately fast. Alligator next to the 9th green completed our zoo tour, but the rest of the course was very enjoyable. Low flying planes add to the experience. Our friend from Maine really enjoyed the round and the not-so-cold weather.

Pre meeting round

Played with a friend prior to a meeting in Savannah. Had played here a couple of years ago and was slightly disappointed with the conditions. It may be just coming out of winter, but certainly not as good as 2 years ago. Still enjoyed the round, the pace of play was great and the greens were ok. Location is excellent in relation to Interstate and downtown Savannah. Pro-shop attendant was very cordial.

Holiday Round

I was looking for an early round on a holiday Monday and found a 7:48 at Oak Marsh at a great price. No one was pair with me so I played as a single in just under 3 hours. Course was in fabulous shape, greens were smooth and fast. Every staff member was friendly and courteous. The starter was chatty and helpful and even let me go off a little early. No cart person, but there was water and ice on the course. Great value for the price and I'll definitely be back.

Good Day at Verdae

Booked on GolfNow for 2 players at a great price. Course is still coming out of winter, but greens in nice shape. A little wet from recent rain, but we picked a nice warm day to play. Paired w another young fellow and made a nice afternoon of it. Course is a real challenge with some forced carries and blind shots. Playable with bailout options. Would play it again. If you spray the ball off the tee, you will have a tough day.

Great day at the Harbor

Playing as a two-some we were joined by a third who had his member grandfather driving for him. Pace of play was excellent going off about 12:15 on a Thursday. Greens were fast and true...just about perfect for December. Overall course was in superb shape, staff friendly, cart guys were great. Thought the cart girls equipment (cart and trash can) was a little underwhelming. Will come back, just make the gate check-in process a little faster.

1st play In Nashville

Nashboro was my first golf experience in Nashville and turned out to be a nice course close to the airport. Played on a Tuesday afternoon, the course was not crowded, and the Pro couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Course was in good shape with the greens very smooth. Really enjoyed the afternoon.

A tune up

Having not played this course in over 25 years, I didn't remember much, but it was in excellent shape, greens were a nice speed. A little wet on some fairways due to some earlier in the week rain. Overall course in great shape. I was using it as a tune up for a tourney later in the week. Booked thru Golfnow and met some nice people from Kentucky...made me play harder. Lot's of sand, so accuracy off the tee is a must.

Generous Fairways

Having not played a course, you always wonder what you will encounter. My friend and I experienced the widest fairways I've every played. The layout thru the trees was wonderful and the greens putted true. The staff was great and even let us stop play and restart later that day when an emergency arose. Will definitely play again when in the area. Great value.

Wet course, but great day.

A couple of us tackle this course one afternoon after it had rained the day before. Fairways were wet (cart path only) but greens were in excellent shape. Pace of play was great and the staff was very friendly. I will play this course again if in area. Great value.

A walk in the Park

Wanted to play Hyde Park before the cold weather set in the weekend. Was a perfect day and the course was in pretty good shape. Greens were fast and smooth. Fairways in good shape. Pace of play was excellent, especially for Hyde Park. Staff was very courteous. Will play again.

Hot day at Oak Hills

First time playing course and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was friendly and accommodating, first hole as a great start, and the routing thru the trees and hills was refreshing for someone from Florida. Plenty of holes played downhill. Would definitely play again. Price made this a great value.

Back after long time away.

Played for the first time in about 15 years after learning to play on this track back in late 70's. Was pleased to see the condition of tees, fairways, and greens. Even w lack of overall rain, course was in great shape. While greens were a little slow, they had plenty of grass and very few thin spots. Tough track with hills and small, raised greens. Not long, but still quite a challenge.

Great Day at LPGA

Had always heard about the conditions of the course from a friend, so we made a trip from Jacksonville to play. Helpful and cheerful staff all the way around, fairways were superb, green were nice (a little slow), bunkers were plentiful. The Jones course is a very nice track from the white tees. Cart and concession girls were friendly and the hot dog made a nice lunch. Would make the trip down again.

Birthday Round

Treated myself and some friends to a round since I'd not played here for years. Staff was very friendly and the course was perfect. Putts rolled true and fairways were in great shape. The views are worth the price of admission and then you get the golf. Watch out for the water encroaching the fairway on 9 and the hidden trouble on 16.

Crossing the state

When I travel thru Tallahassee, I try to play a round at Southwood. The course is always in great shape, greens are perfect, and the staff is very friendly, even to Golfnow customers. Everything about the course is first rate: club house, fairways, new carts, pro shop, and the staff. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Afternoon round

First time playing the course and was happy I picked this one over others in the area. Course was in excellent shape, nice grass on tee boxes and fairways. Greens were smooth and rolling fast. Staff was very friendly especially 2 of the marshals. Great value on Golf Now. Would definitely play again.
