Pleasantly surprised

Very hilly and scenic New England course, challenging due to quite a few par 4 holes over 400 yds. Not any big water hazards, but a few well placed streams and bunkers.
Fairways were in good shape, greens rolled well.

Love this course design

This has always been a great course with tees for every level of player.
The design is excellent. Scenery is very picturesque.
Course conditions have been better but hopefully will improve.
The finishing hole stretches uphill over 450 yards from the back tee, 350 from the forward tee, with a second shot that has only some room for error.
Clubhouse and patio have a great view of that and tons of seating outside with a nice bar inside.
The houses built on the property vary from multi million dollar homes to very high end.

Again overcrowded…

Normally greens are very good but they were all sanded and speed was totally inconsistent.
Pace of play seems to be a recurrent problem with no guarantee that you will play in under 5 hours despite having a ranger on the course.
Layout if the course is good for the most part.
Grass is sparse on the fairways with many bare lies.
Traps are in very good condition.

If this course had grass and better maintenance it would be one of the best in the area if not the best.

Great greens

Good layout and good conditions paired with very good greens.
Pace of play is slow as course is crowded and there are no rangers apparent even on a busy Friday.
Five-some played in front of us with no concerns…this certainly should not be allowed to happen.

Still a challenge

Despite being a short par 69 course, its still fun to play.
From the back tees there are some forced carries over water of over 140 yards or so, and its a fun layout in decent shape.

Fun

Very friendly staff, nice layout and decent greens with many well placed bunkers.
Grass this time of year very sparse and conditions somewhat below good because of that…
Worth trying for the $

Still a favorite!

Probably my biggest pet peeve is the lack of a tee box around 5900 yards. Shorter tees are either 6250 or 5500 with nothing in between.
Nevertheless, challenging in a natural marshland setting with plenty of sand, water and a fantastic but very difficult 18th hole.

Nice course

Boosting 7 par 3s and with a par of 67 and a yardage of around 5400 yards, this is a respectable course distance wise but pretty user friendly as there aren’t too many hazards.
Enjoyable outing and well worth the money!

One of my favorites

Great layout, tees to accommodate scratch to higher handicap golfers and plenty challenging.
Beautiful scenery and some amazing homes along the fairways with great natural landscapes.
Very reasonable green fees.
Practice area is quite small.
Conditions are good.
Overall, a true gem in the Orlando area.

Course is in decent shape, staff friendly and organized. The 5 par 3 s on the back side are all challenging and quite long.
Totally worth it for the price.

Always very nice

One of our favorite courses in the area. Greens roll very well and are in good shape, very good layout and interesting holes. In better condition than may other places nearby.
Certainly challenging and fair although some holes are definitely pretty simple and some quite difficult.requiring a bit of target golf.
Some local knowledge helps, as there are a few blind water hazards hidden from view on a number of holes.

Very friendly people

Course is a real muni course with very slow grainy greens, bare spots in fairwatys, and a run down feel.
Bunkers are everywhere and true waste areas that make the course somewhat more interesting. By no means a pitch and putt as it plays close to 7000 yards from the tips. Even respectably long from the third set of tees for the average player.
Staff very accomodating and friendly, but if you are not local, not worth a detour as there are many better courses in the area.

Great layout, terrible conditions

Having played here numerous times over the last few years, we found the course very disappointing
The bunkers are basically unplayable and totally unmaintained, the fairways extremely firm and sandy with very little grass, and the greens unpredictable from hole to hole with sparse grass.
That being said, the course still boasts a hilly and very unique fun layout with many interesting holes!
I know it used to be a Billy Casper run course. Not sure what happened....

Good test of golf

Very good layout, Most holes have water hazards, including some with forced carries requiring a good strike and some with lateral water requiring accuracy. Easy to lose quite a few sleeves of balls.
Greens currently slower than usual and recently top-dressed
Always a great place to play with plenty of marsh, aligators, beautiful birds and views of the the nearby lakes..

Very challenging. Great layout

Many well placed hazards requiring precise golf shots but several options of tee boxes.
Greens were unusually slow but that was fortunate since this is a tough enough golf course.
Bring plenty of balls!
