Nice course worth the money

The course was in decent shape considering the summer weather and it's a fun track.

Good value for the money

This was my first time playing this course and although a little rough around the edges, it's overall a nice course. The greens are HUGE so I had more three putts than I would care to talk about--and because of the dry weather, they were hard and fast! The fairways and the greens were in decent shape though which made the price/value very good. Additionally, the staff was nice and friendly. I would play this course again.

Not in good shape

There were a few things that disappointed me about the course yesterday. First, and utmost was the pace of play. It was a Tuesday and there was no excuse for how slow it played. We sailed through the front nine yet caught the group in front of us and from that point, we had to wait roughly 10/15 minutes per hole and that's a problem!! And it's a problem that should have and could have been fixed with proper marshaling. What's worse is that they actually had a marshal on the course and I addressed it with him! Aside from that, the course itself was in rough shape. Many courses right now seem to be lacking and they blame it on Covid but I call bull****. It's an industry that has boomed during the pandemic so why aren't they maintaining things? They sure aren't charging less. Many of the greens were a mess, tee boxes were very long, fairways were patchy and dead in many spots. I think letting things like that go are going to make it really tough to get back into shape :(

Lovely Course

This is the second time in a year that I have played this course and I almost didn't book the tee time because of the recent reviews but I am glad that I did!! I don't know what some of the reviewers were talking about--the course is in great shape! I guess maybe they have not played any golf lately--I have, and believe me, compared to other much more expensive courses, they are maintaining it wonderfully, aside from the bunkers, that is. All courses I have played recently have completely let the bunkers go--all of them. I'm perplexed by this and always intend to ask the starter why they are letting the bunkers turn to weeds but I forget:( Anyway, back to the point at hand--this course is in great shape, the fairways and greens are manicured just as they should be, and further, they are green and not a dried out mess. I have been golfing for a long time so this is not a beginner's opinion!!

Decent but the greens were in bad shape.

I think the reviews are over-rated so I was rather disappointed. The fairways and the greens weren't in very good shape. I realize that Covid has made things tough on business but they still took my money so I expect that the sand traps would have been groomed at least once, in the morning, rather than not being groomed for months. Again, I get that things aren't normal, I don't expect them to be, but I expect that if you are open for business and not allowing me to play for free, the course needs to be looked after.

Great round of golf.

Today was Superbowl Sunday so we were expecting that it might be less crowded and it was. We finished our round in 3.5 hours!! Due to all the rain, the course was a bit soggy in places but not that bad. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day!

Nice course, good value with Golf Now

It was my first time playing the course and I thought it was a well maintained, pleasant but challenging layout. We played late in the day, 3:10pm and for most of the round didn't have any issues with pace of play but strangely, we had to wait on several holes toward the end of our round. This shouldn't have happened as there was absolutely no one if front of the group that was holding us up. Over-all, this course is worth playing and I would play again.

Rude Starter, obnoxious General Manager

I have never in all my years of playing gold been treated so disrespectfully at a golf course. I am not a novice golfer and have been playing for many, many years. The starter (Bob) harassed my group from the moment we sat in the carts. I understand pace of play, ready golf and espouse to it so do not dilly dally around but when you have two twosomes playing behind a foursome, you are asking for delay and it's just not smart course management! Without getting into a lengthy rendition, I will simply say this...I have never written a bad review for any establishment that I have been a patron, so it says a lot that I would take time out of my vacation here in Florida to write this! I have played this course almost every year that I am here in South Florida but will NEVER play it again! Further, I will take this complaint to whomever owns/runs this course!
