People friendly and helpful staff, nice snack bar, as always a 3 hour round with a foursome, and still one of the toughest tests of your golf game.
Keep up the good work!

Back in the mid to late 90's I played here 3 times a week. The course was flawless except for an occasional Mole Cricket problem which maybe still persists. Today, the greens, tees, and fairways are good, not great, but the areas in front and all around the greens and green side bunkers are unplayable. I just used a putter rather than risk a chili-dip off rather bare ground or relief drop from newly sodded areas. Respectfully, to staff and course maintenance, I would recommend closing the course from 1 May to 1 0ctober to restore , treat, sprig and bring Baytree back to those days of yesteryear.

Always like the challenge of playing at Vista Plantation. It will bruise your ego if you do not plan ahead on where you need to be for your next shot/chip/putt. Greens are the fastest in the area and in excellent condition. Staff and amenities are first rate.
Keep up the good work

Wow...some significant improvement over the conditions of Putting green, Tees, Fairways several months ago. The most improved were the Greens which with cooler weather will pick up speed, but are a joy to play even now in 90 degree weather.

Last time I played I thought I probably would not drive that far again...but I am happy I did and will return again. Can't say enough for the concern the Members and Course maintenance staff have shown to turn this around. Keep it going!

Good venue for change of play. Course greens a tad slower than practice putting green, but after a few holes you can get the pace.

Every once in a while I come back to see how I can work to improve my course management. My goal is nothing over bogey...and it is a challenge, but a very enjoyable one. Staff, golf shop, ranger, starter just right..in fact was advised of a gator on #5 fairway, and by the time I got there they let me know it was all clear. That is customer service.

I will be kind and say...if you like an average course to play and enjoy mediocrity ...this is the course for you.

Very impressed with the greens and speed, as well as the overseeded Tees. Clearly, the folks there are making a difference and a commitment to improving.
Pro Shop and Snack bar staff very cordial as well.
Only negative concerns sand bunkers. While they look great when to look at the excellent grooming, the sand is a thin disguise of some very hard compacted subsurface. A couple of dozen bunker rakes would be nice to augment the spartan/broken inventory.

Played here 4 months ago, told myself I would not be back but all is forgiven. A remarkable turn around on the greens, and a lot of work in progress to improve conditions. Tee grass height a nuisance, but this time of year that is okay. Looking forward to returning.

I love Habitat's location, design, absence of homes surrounding the course, friendly staff, fairways, greens, even the rough, BUT, someday they have to look critically at their Tee Boxes and zero Bunker management. It is disheartening to love playing there until one gets up on the Tee full of a multitude of weeds, or one has to get out of a Green side Bunker without the Sand Wedge bouncing to an ugly conclusion. Hopefully, once Season starts, there is a plan to address these areas.

For the last 5 months, I have played a good number of courses in Brevard and surrounding counties. This course despite the drought and punched holes in the greens is in the top 10%. I base this on how well the Tees are maintained, the areas all around the Greens, availability of water and rest rooms on the course, the visible evidence of a Ranger on the course, and the condition of the overall course where summer rules are a pleasure to enjoy. Once the greens get well, I hope to be back in June

Tis the season for all golfers to do some due diligence on when the course has/or will be doing core aerating the Greens. Front nice was really enjoyable, not a soul in sight, Made the turn with a good score, and then ran into non-puttable greens. I have to think that the punch holes were top dressed properly, but it rained the day before, washing out enough sand to leave concave remnants that made even a two footer bounce about 4 times . In hindsight, I wish I was offered playing the Front 9 twice. All said a good lesson for me since I know it is that necessary time of year.

Had not played here for about 20 years but look forward to return visits. Proshop, and especially starter , very cordial...i.e did not treat one with distain for booking a pre-paid T-Time as do a lot of courses these days. I try to play a new course every week, and this is far above what is out there. Greens are a tad in trouble around the edges but never a problem putting; same with Tees for but no worse than what is out there these days with drought conditions in Brevard County. Layout is never boring. All considered great value , good shape, nice staff, decent challenge, and under 4 hours.

Played here about 15 years ago and remembered the course well maintained. Regrettably, not so today. The putting green, being kind,was horrible.
Greens have too much crabgrass to be considered trivial, the tee boxes show little effort to maintain a turf stand, and Tee markers appear to be not moved often. Pace of play great at 3 and 1/2 hours even with a foursome ahead of us the entire round.

Staff, from the Golf Shop, to the Bag boys, to the Restaurant, were outstanding in their customer service. I feel sorry for them supporting a club that should have better Greens and Tee boxes.

This time of year, I know it is impossible to take better care of the greens with a full tee sheet almost every day. Yet some attention is needed to reduce the bumpiness on virtually every green. Perhaps a lite application of sand, then rolling them would take out the bumpiness. Every group going out was asked to fix ball marks, but many
don't; at least each of us can fix those in our line. When one has a 15 ft putt for birdie, and the ball bounces about 5-6 times on the way to the hole, that is not enjoyable.

I was an unknown 4th to a booked threesome, and the starter took care to drive me to the range to meet them, as well as let me know we were on deck.
Golf shop and snack bar very professional, and overall course was considerably improved from when the County operated the course. Greens were a comfortable pace, and consistent albeit the last several greens about 4:00 PM had grown just enough to be noticeably slower. We finished in four hours flat so all in all a very enjoyable day of Golf

It is not often one finds an admittedly Executive type course has been routed so beautifully from tee to green and the next tee thru woodland. One looks forward to each new unique hole mostly par 3's, a few par 4's, one par 5. Superb for playing with your son who does' they out much and your grandson who is a focused junior golfer.
