Been awhile since I’ve played the course. I’ve got good memories. Only slightly disappointing in that the fairways and some tee boxes were a little sparse. We played preferred lies in the fairways to make up for that. Greens were nice. Pace of play was a little slow because there were three twosomes playing in a row. I was surprised the starter didn’t pair anyone up. Still got around in just under 4 hours, but we did have to wait on most tee and approach shots.

What a shame

Can’t be the first negative review for this course . I remember when when Kayo and family owned/ran this course. It was beautiful, well maintained, and managed. The last several years it appears no one cares. Surprisingly, the parking lot is pretty full. I’ll chalk that up to a convenient location and relatively cheap greens fees. But, I’ll tell you, I paid $29 on a hot deal and that was too much. I’ve never seen the course in such terrible condition in my 30 years of visits to the area. What a shame.

Missed Opportunity

My only criticism is they had no staff in the restaurant/snack bar. At the beginning of my 7:20 a..m. round or when we made the turn. They’re missing an opportunity to sell some breakfast sandwiches, Gatorade, etc. I settled for water on the course.

Disappointing

Been coming down from Chicago to visit family and play Wekiva for more than 30 yrs. This is the worst condition I’ve ever seen the course. Bare spots in the fairways, greens that look diseased. Too bad. Used to look forward to playing. $56 through GolfNow. Not worth it.

Expected better conditions for the money. There were still aeration holes on some greens and fairways that hadn’t grown over yet. Quite a few bare spots in some fairways. Ended up “rolling” my ball in the fairways to give myself a decent lie. Pins were in impossible positions. We expected a relatively slow round being only a twosome behind foursomes, but it was a 4-1/2 hr round that could have easily been Shorter. One more thing. We’re still required to wear masks inside buildings. There are signs on pro shop and restaurant doors. All the players I saw were complying, but not the staff in the pro shop was not. Not even a mask hanging around their chins. No excuse for that.

Tale of Two Nines

Many tee boxes were dried out with very little grass. Many fairways were in poor condition as well with no real difference between the grass in the rough, except it was cut slightly shorter. A lot of bare spots. Bunkers had no sand, mostly dirt. Greens were in slightly better condition than the rest of the grounds. The course shares land with a ski resort on this property and two holes are literally played up and down ski hills. Ridiculous lay outs. Now, you make the turn and there’s are 3-4 holes on the back that are in very good condition. I think they were 14 - 16. It’s like you’ve entered a different course. Tee boxes and fairways with grass. Greens were in better shape and had been recently aerated and there was real sand in the bunkers. It’s too bad the rest of the course couldn’t have been maintained like these holes. All I can figure is the owners of the houses that line the fairways of these holes wouldn’t put up with looking out their windows at a course in the condition found on the other side. What a shame.

One guy doing everything from pulling up the carts to running the pro shop and bar/restaurant. I give him kudos. I understand the course was recently taken over by Golf Vision. They have a lot of work to do. Most greens had "disease" or some sort of rough patches you had to putt through. Tee boxes were in poor shape and the ground was rock hard. Bunkers were inconsistent. One hole had two bunkers, one with sand, the other with dirt/gravel. Unfortunately I found myself in the latter. A couple holes had strange layouts. Seemed like the architect had to fit/jam them in to the small piece of land he was given. No water in the ball washers or the water jugs on the tees. Pace of play was great, but only because there was no one there on a beautiful Sunday morning. Only a dozen cars in the lot when we left at 11:30 a.m. Now I know why. Lots to improve on and lot of money to be invested.

Read the most current reviews.

Ironically, I didn't look at the reviews for this course before booking. Live and learn. The course is under construction. Trucks and other vehicles were crossing the fairways frequently. Fairways were in bad shape. Many areas with new sod had been laid. Arrived early to warm up only to find the range was closed. Cart path only was another surprise. Not sure what they were protecting considering the condition of the course. They should have closed for a year to complete the work and reopened when it was playable. The only positive is I was able to use a GolfNow reward toward my fee. Still too much money for a course in this condition.

Course was in good shape for mid-October. Greens were fast but fair. My only complaint is the bunkers were not great. Felt like more dirt than sand and there were a lot of small rocks in them. I would expect better conditions on a course of this quality. Overall I had a great time.

Half Way Between Orlando & Sarasota

Unfortunately it was cold and windy so that added to the difficulty but, the course was in great shape. Fast greens. Forced carries off the tee. Met family from the Orlando area in Lakeland half way between them and Sarasota where we were vacationing. Great course.
