Nice Course

A nice course that is in good condition most of the time. Pace of play on weekends can be a big issue.

Very nice short course

This was our first time playing this course and found it to be a very nice and interesting short course to play. The correct first club to use it not necessarily a driver on the par 4's and 5's. It required some thinking to get the correct ball position for the 2nd shot. The course was well maintained. My wife particularly enjoyed the round as she does not hit the ball long and the course layout more closely suited her game, We had dinner at the grille afterward and the staff was very friendly and the meal good and reasonably priced.

In Good Shape

The course was in good shape all around (greens, fairways and bunkers). Fairways nice and green from the overseeding.

A very nice golf course

This course is always in good shape. The onsite grille is also a great place to have a beer and a bite to eat afterward.

Great course even after aeration

Played this course even though it had just been aerated. Course in great shape even with all the rain lately in florida. Greens were a little bumpy but too be expected following aeration. I have played this course for 10+ years and it's always in good shape. The restaurant and bar are also a great place to get a drink and food especially during happy hour.

Good course and good value

A good course always in good shape and a good value, especially during Florida afternoons. Played the course many times and it's always in reasonably good shape considering all the rain lately during the florida rainy season.

Golfnow Customers Not Wanted

From the attitude of the people operating the course (everyone from the person checking you in to the course starter/ranger) it was very evident that they really didn't want golfnow hot deal customers playing. In Florida during the summer, most golf courses are very eager to get anyone to play in the afternoons as the courses are basically empty. So, if you show up a little early most just let you play when you get there. In this case, no one on the course, but we were told very specifically that the golf course does not get any money from the hot deal and we all would have to wait exactly for our tee time to start. They didn't seem to care when it was pointed out in return for the hot deal time they got a ton of free advertising by being on the golfnow website.

Great course always in good shape

This course is always in great shape. Perfect for retirees, wide fairways, no water and few obstacles. The bar and restaurant are also great for a drink or two afterwards. Good food is priced reasonably. Happy hour 3 to 6 .
