One of My Favorite in NH!

The course is in excellent condition. From tee to green. Try to stay on the fairways, the rough can be a challenge. The mild winter of 2015-2016 has been a blessing to the courses in NH and well worth waiting for. GolfNow has incredible green fee deals for this course.

First time and probably won't play it again until the early fall due to the overwhelming amount of tourists that frequent the North Conway area during the summer. I live in the Lakes Region of NH and familiar with the summer tourists, but N. Conway is in a league of its own. The only negative with this course is there is no driving range. Perhaps setting up a hitting area with a net might be helpful for players that need a warm up b4 playing.

Make sure you play with someone with "local knowledge" of the course. Tee shots can be deceiving and the landing areas can eat you up. It's a nice course with elevation changes. The da I played, the greens and fairways needed to be mowed after a night rain, but other than that its a nice course and fun to play on.

First Time, won't be the Last Time!

I've been tempted to play this course now for the last 2 yrs, living in the Lakes Region of NH, I always played courses near me. Had business in Portsmouth, NH and decided to book a tee time at Breakfast Hill. The course is in very good condition and only getting better when the summer weather kicks in. If you're at the NH coast, it's a MUST PLAY. Enjoy.

First Time, won't be the Last Time!

I was impressed with the whole complex. Only 1 negative. Driving range was over a mile away and if the pro shop didn't have any tokens left, you had to drive to the admin building to buy them. The greens were going from winter to summer grass. Bouncy and unpredictable, but when these greens are right, look out! Pretty course, nice layout. I'll be back!

First Time, won't be the Last Time!

So far, the best course I've played since coming to Ocala in November. Staff is very friendly and the club house very nice. A few long par 4's and holes that will challenge every club in your bag. Gracious fairways, nice sand bunkers and excellent greens. My only negative is the driving range. It's a below your feet target range where all of the target flags proceed downhill from the hitting area and you can't see where your ball lands. Other than that, it's a great track.

Ocala Palms Again & Again...

All is good at this course except for the greens which has that nasty little weed all over them. Looks like an epidemic with the courses here in Ocala. This is the second time I played the shot gun start on Thursday and both times the pace of play was very good. If it's your first time playing this course, try to hook up with a local. There's some deep water run off areas on the course and you need to avoid them if your ball hangs up on the face of these steep walls. Fun course to play and challenges every club in your bag.

Ocala Palms Again...

Everything was great except for the greens. They all seemed to have this circular green weed-like growth like a bad case of acne on an adolescent. Made putts veeri off course and the line bumpy. Although the greens did hold well on approach shots. That's it...just the greens, someone said they were being seeded. Because the last time I played here the greens were perfect! It's been a crazy weather year. I'll definitely be back.

Lake View

I was very impressed with this course and it has made it to my "Favorites List". After reading the previous reviews, I was a bit hesitant to play, but I am so glad I did. The greens were in very good to excellent conditions, rolled fast, held great and a joy to putt on. One person wrote that the fairways were so bad they painted them green in spots. Well, that green tint on the areas "painted", was fertilizer. Compared with the majority of courses I've played in the area, Lake View has some of the best fairways to hit from. The whole region has been hit with a very dry fall and winter, so the majority of the courses will have burnt fairways. Played with a local named Bob, retired USAF, made his own clubs and was a hoot to play with and full of great "local knowledge". Thanx Bob, . I'll definitely be back!

Deja Vu!

2nd time around. Great course to work on your mid- irons from the par 3's and your wedges from the par 4's & 5's. Greens are in very good condition. Fairways are parched for rain, but hit well. First time I've ever seen a Sand Hill Crane nest in the middle of a small pond. Only negative is the restaurant not being open at all. I'll be back!

First Time

It's sad how many very good courses in the Ocala and surrounding areas do not have a full watering system. This course is just another victim of the dry fall & winter. Greens were in good shape, just a wee bit shaggy, but rolled true. Very friendly staff. This is an executive course on steroids. U will use most of the clubs in your bag. Enjoyed my day here,

First time at this course and the weather was perfect. As usual, the fairways were burnt but hit well with a moist base. The lack of rain this fall & winter have left the courses without a watering system hi & dri. Greens were very good and rolled fast & true. Nice layout and hooked up with a 3 others from golfnow.com and had a great time!

The Linx

Not a good first impression! I wasn't impressed with the person doing the "bag drop" when I pulled up, he had his cell phone stuck to his ear and was having a personal conversation and he wouldn't even put the phone down. Trying to ask him questions in between his conversation was rude at the best. And the real kicker is he kept talking on the phone as I was about to leave when the nxt guy pulls up and he goes over to his trunk with the phone still glued to his ear. Not good! The driving range is beat and so is the price for a small basket of balls. There, all the negatives are out. Probably the smallest greens I've ever played on, but held and rolled great. Course is in good shape and has an interesting layout. Pace of play was slow. 5hr round. but I wasn't in a hurry. Yes, I will go back.

This course was actually green, compared to the other courses I've played in the Ocala area due to the lack of rain this fall and early winter. Everything was great! Definitely coming back for a few more rounds!

First Time at Ocala

I guess all of the courses in the Ocala area and beyond are suffering from the dry autumn and early winter. Unless the courses have a decent watering system, the tee boxes and fairways are taking a beating. My review is based on the actual conditions of the course and not what I think the course is at all times. The greens and traps were very good and the layout of the course challenges all levels. I feel for the staff on these courses that don't have the necessary water systems and depend on the natural rain fall.

CITRUS SPRINGS

Lot of dog legs, elevated greens, fairways were dry as a bone, they don't have a full course watering system, greens were in OK condition. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would not recommend this course until the fairways has received a good amount of saturated rain for at least a week or longer. This part of Florida has been experiencing a major dry spell.

Pembroke Pines

The front 9 is wide open and the par 4's are longer than the average in NH. Greens were putting great, with undulations and quick turns at the cup. Fairways were a bit shaggy. Now...the back 9! It's like you left the course and went to a different planet and were thrown into a video game where all of the holes become a challenge. A unique layout and you better have your A game goin' and your shot placements accurate. Have fun!

Canterbury Woods

I was paired up with a member who guided me through the 18 holes. The grounds are very well groomed and the greens were rolling good. They have a good range, either hit off synthetic or natural and the only negative factor would be the noise from a nearby gun range if one should shoot in the middle of your swing, but that didn't happen to us. It is truly a very sweet track.

The Omni Mt Washington

It was a beautiful sunny day in the "Valley" with a brisk wind from the west. It was my first time playing here and Golfnow.com, as always, had a great price I couldn't turn down and I was paired with a couple that had excellent local knowledge of the course. The staff was exceptional and eventually the course will get to that level. It's been raining a lot in NH and the course was a bit spongy but very playable and the greens were rolling to 5 - 6 on the Stint. I will definitely come back later in the summer when course conditions improve and I highly recommend.
