Went on a guys trip down to Naples and one of our group booked this course. So I had to do some research and read several reviews prior to playing it. First off you couldn't have asked for a better day to play. We teed off about 8am, there was not a cloud in the sky and temps were in the low 70s, which was perfect, by the end of 18 it was in the mid 80s. I agree with some of the other reviews this course is very new and there is a lot of home construction taking place. That being said, it can be tuned out very easily. Only issue I had the entire day was on hole 9, was at the top of my swing coming down and a guy on a roof started using his nail gun, so the pop pop pop did hamper that swing but that was it.. I would not pass this course up due to that. Another review said there are a lot of alligators on the course, we saw two small ones through the 18 holes. Played Panther run the Sat prior and saw 10 or more, so this course was very minimal. Now onto the course, Greens were outstanding, course layout was also perfect. This is a thinking man's course, course management is a must. You can't pull driver on every hole which I really like. Front 9 is tight to say the least with water popping up in places you may not see off the boxes. Pace of play was also decent, bunkers and waste areas are numerous, but over all course conditions were excellent. Greens really make or break even the nicest courses and as already stated their greens were outstanding. Ran very true somewhat fast but once you got the read if you hit it online it would fall. Really wanted to play it the following day but several in the group were flying home. We paid 40.00 to play here and it was one of the most enjoyable rounds I've played in a very long time. If you have the opportunity get out and play it. This will be on our list moving forward every time we come down to Naples.

Reading the other reviews for this course, I had the same experience. Driving up to Eagle Ridge you can see this course. We finally tried it 2 years ago and will not be making the trip to Eagle Ridge again. We do a yearly guys trip up to Lanark and this course is now a staple on the trip. I like the non traditional tree lined courses and prefer these type of links courses. Everything about this place is excellent, Course conditions, staff and location right off 20. Rates are very reasonable. We will be playing it again this yean in a couple weeks for our 3rd time. Only thing I ask for is better weather. Last two rounds have been a bit rainy but it adds to the effect of playing over in Ireland.. Would love to play it in Sunshine at least once.

We travel from Chicago to spend a long weekend up in Milton/Janesville every year for golfing, boating and this course was an Amazing find and it's a must play each year we're up in the area. I haven't found one thing not to like about this course. Everything from tee to green, driving range to pro shop is top notch. I play a lot of courses and travel to many top golfing cities, Scottsdale, Orlando, Naples and this is still one of my favorite courses out there. The staff is friendly and the rates are rather nice for a track like this. We had said put this course in the Chicago area and you're paying over 80.00 to play it. If you haven't had a chance to get to this course you are really missing out. We'll be traveling up to Wi in 3 weeks and we already have this course scheduled to play on June 24th, can't wait.
