Shingle Creek Golf Club
Played On 11/22/2022Slow and not inspiring
Played a few years ago before the changes. Course has been revamped and slightly shortened.
Disappointed that although our price included GPS & practice balls the cart had to be changed as GPS was not working and the range was closed before our tee time.
Very slow round with no Marshall on the course which was a pity as it was obvious to all which group was holding up play
Course in good nick but pace of play ruined the enjoyment of the day
Providence Golf Club
Played On 03/26/2019Reasonable condition
Probably mid price course & mid standard
Fairways bare in bits but fast greens in better condition than in recent years
Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course
Played On 03/22/2019Losing the will to live
First 10holes took 3 hours, overall just over 5 hours, kills any enjoyment when you are waiting to play every shot
After 7 holes the ranger appeared and did speak to the gents four two ahead of us who had lost over a hole on the group in front of them. He spoke politely to them to little effect, they put 6 balls in the water at the next hole a par 3. They surely should have been told to miss the next hole to catch up as they were holding up the whole course
It was not a cheap round so we won’t be back until we can see from the reviews that they are improving the pace of play
Royal St. Cloud Golf Links - Red/White Course
Played On 03/21/2019Value for money
At under $45 this is great value. Only problem we found were the extremely fast & difficult to read greens - very frustrating
Grand Cypress - North/South
Played On 03/29/2018Great Course
Loved the course, paired with a pleasant couple & enjoyed the round
Couple of minor disappointments- no GPS & no ice buckets on cart tho you could take ice at water stations
ChampionsGate Golf Club - National
Played On 03/18/2018Good nick
Course in reasonable condition
Played mid day Sunday so just over 4 hours was fine
Grande Vista Golf Club
Played On 03/14/2018Good short practice course
Excellent condition but all relatively short holes. Great training course but not a course to push you
Providence Golf Club
Played On 11/21/2017Heavily sanded greens
No reduction in price for the heavily sanded greens which made putting a lottery
Disappointing as the course is normally a good test for the standard club golfer. Prices should be adjusted to reflect conditions
Remington Golf Club
Played On 03/28/2017Shambles
Booked to play at 10am prepaid, arrive in plenty of time
First tee really busy & temperature was rising - re tempers
There was some ladies comp on & they kept appearing apparently with the right to drop in & start at the first tee having played the back 9
No one happy, our playing partners confronted a group & said they were rudely told to go away
Eventually the starter appeared & allowed us to start but the play was so slow with ladies groups not booked in everywhere
Shambles & a slow round
Royal St. Cloud Golf Links - Red/White Course
Played On 03/25/2017Basic
For the cost it was ok but as always very busy & you do wait around
Also behaviour of some players (plenty of restrooms but 3 of the 4 in front of us openly relieving themselves next to the 17th tee as we putted on 16th) is out of order
The course itself is fine for what you pay - not a real links course but similar to an open parklands uk course
Mission Inn Resort & Club - El Campeon Course
Played On 03/24/2017Great Course
Excellent course, condition & layout
We played as a two as did the 3 groups behind us. We followed 4 members playing in THEIR course at THEIR pace so we were backing up & waited at numerous holes
Harmony Golf Preserve
Played On 03/22/2017Ideal
Great course, the starter (Eric?) makes a point of matching you with suitable partners & that improves the experience
Upgraded conditions after closing for a while last year & fab value
Hawk's Landing Golf Club
Played On 11/16/2016Quality course
Quality course with very fast greens
Will play again & try & putt better
Mystic Dunes Golf Club
Played On 11/09/2016Downhill all the way
We played this course a few years ago & thought it was in great Nick
Now, it's the worst course I have seen this year,outrageous that they are charging middling rates. Admittedly there is an ew supervisor Garret who explained to us he is starting to turn it round and it should be ready next summer, however I would not look at it for a year at least
Fairways awful, green worse.
As the final insult the toilet facilities on course were embarrassing - reported it to the reception & said they would have it cleaned, sorry it's way past that, demolished perhaps
A long way to go to climb back to its former glories
Harmony Golf Preserve
Played On 11/21/2015Good value
Course in good nick, so much better than Remington which is in the same price bracket
Slow round as cart path only just now but fair enough the reduced price took account of this delay
Worth a visit
Remington Golf Club
Played On 11/18/2015Poor value even at the lower end of the scale
When paying only $30 we were not expecting a championship course but anyone wishing to play at that price would be far better off at Royal St Cloud or Harmony
Dreadful tees, poor fairways & when they had been cut all the excess grass was left to slow up the balls
There was a shot gun start running late when we were scheduled to play so we had to start at the 10th & to be fair the first nine holes moved well. You can of course guess that when we reached the turn on several occasions there were three groups on the tees.
There are no marshals to be seen to speed up play - how infuriating is it in a slow round to watch the guys two in front of you diverting to feed ducks rather than moving on
All in all we will not be back, this was our second visit & it has deteriorated recently
Providence Golf Club
Played On 03/08/2015Dreadful greens
Have played this course several times over the last couple of years & always a very enjoyable round
This time the greens were truly awful, green only because of coloured sand as there was no grass to be found
We thought it may have been because of the tough winter but the following day we played the delightful Harmony course where the greens were excellent therefore no excuses
I would like to correctly address the situation with our greens, We had perfect greens this fall and made an agronomic decision not to over-seed with winter grass to eliminate transition and improve the turf quality of our tif-dwarf Bermuda greens. What we did not plan on was three months of harsh weather that made it impossible to grow Bermuda grass and that is why bad weather hurt us but not courses who did over-seed. I will offer all golfers who played between Jan 15 and April 15, 2015 a substantial discount if you return next winter where I can assure you will be playing on perfect over-seeded greens.
Sincerely,
Tim Greco

Royal St. Cloud Golf Links - Red/White Course
Played On 11/13/2014Good value for money
Excellent value for your average club golfer. Not a championship course & doesn't claim to be.
One of the few courses where golfers were courteous & waved us through as we were a two playing behind a fourball
We prefer the white/blue options having tried red the last time
Mystic Dunes Golf Club
Played On 03/09/2014Tedious
Delay at start as all carts were out on the course
Over 5hours & no attempt to speed up play by stewards who were non existent
Greens very difficult, fast with slopes all over & killed any chance of a decent score
Cypress Course at Stonegate Golf Club
Played On 11/21/2013Has seen better days
We have played this course several times over the past couple of years & it has been excellent. Yesterday the condition was disappointing & requires some attention. Played the sister course 'the oaks' last week and it was in far better condition.
The day we played there was a large ladies event on the oaks, perhaps all the time had been devoted to preparing that course
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. I'm very sorry to hear about your experience. We are constantly striving to improve the conditions of the course. Though some things may take more time to improve than others, we will definitely look into the things we can work on immediately.
