Saddleback experience A Must!

So worth the drive to have a Saddleback golf experience!
The layout is really fun, makes you use most clubs in your bag. The greens are protected by bunkers and undulation to make your shots into the green a great experience. You have opportunities to hit it in the water so pack a ball retriever and few extra balls. Really enjoyed the Saddleback experience. Get on-line and get a tee time on the Saddleback course. Assume the Palmer experience is equal!

Pretty Average Golfcourse

Knew what I was getting when I got my reservation, very thin fairways and tee boxes. Nice layout and challenging holes. Fair to decent roll on the greens at least were not super slow. A 3-some jumped in o front of us when we made the turn. Made the back 9 slowwwww. Ranger was around couple times on the front, off duty back nine??? Didn't see him. Probably paid a bit to much but wanted to play somewhere, Recommend playing it if under\

Another great day in "The Woods"

Rolling Oaks is a great course to hit every club in your golf bag. So many good holes to keep you challenged. Some complain about the greens but they are just fine!! Freeze hurt them but Woods staff has them coming back as warm weather heals them up. Flowers, moss on trees, wild turkeys, grey squirrels help one's mind recover from any bogeys you take playing this challenging great course

Cheval had us there 5 plus hours

Long day at Cheval.
Good thing we had nothing else to do today because we spent a greater part of our day out on the links at Cheval. Really helped when our twosome was joined by a 3rd on the 3rd hole because it became apparent we were in for a long slow death march on a nice day today while playing golf! Good thing on hole 16 a ranger showed up so we were able to play the last 3 holes in regulation time. Course was nice shape as always, fun layout, enjoyed the course even more than normal by at least an hour! My partner and I enjoy playing Cheval, to bad they don't have enough workers to encourage slow groups to pick up the pace just a bit to finish in 4.25hrs max.
Wil come back again and take our chances the march will pick up the pace next time. That will provide time to spend some $$ at the 19th hole before heading home.

Course in Ocala surprised us by the layout and condition

Enjoyed playing this course today for the very first time. It's one we will return to repeatedly. Walking into the club house to check in was not impressive, big room and check in was in the left corner, rest of room somewhat empty. BUT, was the last unimpressive thing we experienced today. Carts were new, got off the 1st tee before our designated tee time and the rest of the day was even better! Found the course in great shape with FW grass on all the holes and greens that rolled out and very smooth. They had great undulation and were sometimes tough to get to because of the bunkering and built up to make the shot into some of greens interesting challenging.

However we felt they were very fair and some quite challenging. All the holes were wide enough that one should not complain if you didn't hit them off the tee, although we did complain anyway. Pace of play was really good even though they were busy.

All in all this course was a "be back" to play. Make the drive to Ocala National, you will not be disappointed and the beauty of the course will keep you relaxed and thankful you played there.

Rolling Oaks course layout and all World Woods surrondings are fantastic

Right now this course is getting beat up by the condition of their greens, golfers get over because they still putt much better then the all the rest of courses I have played this past week except one. These greens got hurt by bad frost a couple times, but they are working hard on them, if you know anything about golf course maintenance., you can recognize this. The speed of the greens are great, they roll out! Most greens in the area are so stinking slow and don't roll out, way more frustrating. Plus Rolling Oaks green are soft and bite when you hit into them. Enjoy these two layouts Each hole provides beauty and great eye appeal. Each hole has unique eye appeal and lots of different vegetation. Birds and small animals are worth taking a minute or two to enjoy. With no houses around, the quiet surroundings is so special compared to almost all other courses in the greater Tampa area, Set up a tee time, seek a special price with afternoon play and the World Woods experience will keep you coming back again and again, I forgot to mention all the people who helped me check in and cart services were friendly and made us feel they wanted to take care of our needs. Thank you World Woods for being a very enjoyable experience. And by moving up a set of tees made our day even more enjoyable.

Go experience "the Quarry" at Brooksville CC

Fun layout, average conditions for this time of year for most courses in this area.
The carts we used were slightly worn but worked ok. The front 9 holes make you use many of your clubs, but its the back 9 that makes the complete experience a unique round. Playing the front well helps you because the back 9 is the demanding side. Lots of good views make this a fun place to spend 4-5 hours at. We found the greens to be not very quick this round, but better speed wise than the last 2-3 times there. Greens didn't bite like what we'd like. The round was slow, wish there was a ranger to prod a few players to speed up. There were gaps. But this course is a good value at Hot deal rates. Recommend you go play it again and again

Sherman Hills experience was a good day of golf

This course was the best I have seen it in the last 3 times I have played it. Always enjoyed the layout, especially those tight holes on the back 9. The fw's and greens are improved and plenty good to make this course a regular stop. The golf carts are the newest ones I have been on in the area so far this Spring. It appears the entire course has stepped up with an improved maintenance plan as we played one of our favorite courses. Even the houses that surround this golf track seemed to have stepped up their course appearance. Exciting to see. The tight holes on the back still have some issues both on the fw and greens but don't really effect play all that much. To bad this area can't get more air flow to help grass stay alive. They certainly are working on the greens on those couple holes. The green colored soil on the greens, makes it look good which helps the mind and good mental thoughts. Hole 10 teeing area as well and hole 18 shows you the course creator had big plans for Sherman Hills to be a talked about layout. I think its worth yur time playing it again and again,

Challenging layout in the "Cow town"

It was a great day playing a great layout. Eenjoy the vew of the Rockies on every hole. and the opportunity to play all of your golf clubs. Make the trip to Boomerang, you wont be dosappointed. One final thought, tight layout, will miss more fairways than normal, but you can still score, which makes it all the more fun

Typical golf course experience

Today's round at Inverness Golf course was enjoyable because we played with a great couple from MPLS, MN. The conditions of the course were typical, dry, very thin fairways, below average tee box conditions, greens that don't hold all that well, but roll fine and bunkers that many fail to rake.. Because of so much cart traffic it's tough for Inverness to do much about it. Design of course made it fun and somewhat challenging. I'd recommend not paying to much for your experience , but know this course will still be a decent experience.

Eagle's Lakes great experience

Good layout, great condition, good check in experience, and good cart guys to help us. The Eagles golf course management know how to make your golf experience one that you will remember and want to play again and again. Thank you for a fun day. Golf courses in this area of Florida could learn a thing or two from this management group!
The layout will have you hitting all your clubs in the bag. Lots of area to spray the golf ball on most holes, very fair!
Our group played the white and the gold tees,
Recommend skipping some dog track courses in this part of Florida and enjoy the Eagles experience often. With 36 holes, it just wasn't busy though the parking lot had quite a few cars in it.

Day was great, course layout was fine, greens were good, but why have a RANGE CART drive around on both front and back once each and not make a suggestion to pick up the pace when a group has between 1-2 hole separation between the group in front of them?? The cart said RANGER on front of it, but the "DEAD" person driving it even when he stopped on hole 15 where we were awaiting again and we made a calm appeal to ask the slow group to pick up the pace. He said yea I saw the gap, but got in his cart and drove the other direction! We are driving away from this course to competitors from now on, in memory of this RANGER's actions. Meadow Oaks doesn't want repeat customers. The group following us said they were done coming back too. Sorry M. O. but you do have competition, who have rangers who care about keeping things moving even at a turtle's pace. Someday your course will be closed and you will wonder why! R. I. P.

Wentworth USA

Course layout is not easy, will use all your clubs. Greens are quick. FW's are tight, but has some grass. Soft sand in bunkers, but poor raking by players or maintianance.. No sand in divot fill bottles, Asked at the turn to get full bottles filled for the back 9. Said they were out and no sand available for a day or two. That is unacceptable if you want your course to stand out. Hope the course owners will do something about this, until then 2 star or 3 star on a good day!

Slow death March!

Enjoy playing this course but today was very difficult with the slow play! Not sure why folks can't clear the greens right away after holing out? Makes a good course in good condition. May all golfers learn to keep moving along, chat once in the cart after playing out the hole so it doesn't turn into a.........slow death march like it was today!

Continental Golf - value course experience

Really wanted to rank this course higher based on the quality of the greens, but just couldn't with the courses lack of thick grass on some of the fairways, but not all. Edges of fairways were not very good when we played it. Greens rolled true, were very smooth and held shots hit into them. But, hey roll the ball to where the grass is or hit it straight down the middle and play on!

Layout was enjoyable with dog legs, good water shots and distance especially from white and blue tees. Par 3's were a challenge in the wind the day we played. Clubhouse has lots of merchandise for sale including golf shoes and shirts.

Playing this course on a hot deal rate was a bargain. The history of this course and connection to Mickey Mantle made it a little special. Go play and enjoy Continental Golf, worth the drive and golfing experience.

Play this gem

This course is a must every time the rate is reasonable. Never get tired playing this challenging layout of tight and also wide fairways, The beauty that is around this course is enjoyable. You don;t see many other golfers while you play, you feel like you are on your own private course. The morning starter is an icon to this course, very friendly.
Ate dinner afterwards in the clubhouse, grouper tacos were very tasty. Skip the TPC course and go play Cheval. Great experience and by skipping TPC course you have cash left over to go play it again the next day at GolfNow discount rates

Experience the best in Okoboji

27 holes of golfing pleasure awaits your experience at a wonderful piece of ground made just for golf. Majestic trees, rolling green fairways, lots of wildlife, strategic placed bunkers create a few thought provoking shots to avoid trouble.
John is the pro, I believe, who has a good staff, makes the check in and cart loading easy. Course fairways and greens make Brooks the best experience of all the courses in the area.
Go play, see for yourself, enjoy Brooks GC, you won't be disappointed!
