Nice track overall. Easy to get to and 15 minutes to TPA. Some cool holes, lots of water. The traps are in great shape with high quality sand. Greens roll true and a bit firm, play short as even wedges rolll a bit. 5 tee boxes. Would love to play again knowing the layout a bit better. A magazine with the hole description was helpful. Staff friendly. Reasonable beer prices. Cart had a flat, proshop had a replacement out in 1/2 a hole. Smallish locker room with shower. Will return.

Decent Track - Pace of play great for Labor Day

we've had a lot of rain, rough was long and some fairways had a lot of grass clippings on them. Greens rolled decent but they are pretty marked up. Public track with a lot of novices that aren't fixing ball marks. Starter was not very friendly or inviting, no discussion of the course, etc. He didn't even wish us a Happy Labor day. Woman behind the counter was friendly and accommodating. Some cool holes and a few target holes. Shorter course at 6200 from the tips, but still pretty challenging. Good value.

First time

Teed off at 916 and played in a 4.5 hours on the 4th of July. Course is is pretty good shape overall. Rough is not watered and pretty dried out. Overall course layout is great. Have some cool holes with good risk/reward option. Lots of bunkers on this course, most were in pretty good shape. Lots of trees, but fairly forgiving / wide fairways make it playable. No houses on this course, and the holes are spaced out, really nice, many holes you cannot see any other golfers unless they are in front or behind you. Gives it a country club feel. They have Golf Surf Boards which are pretty cool. Greens not overly fast but seemed to roll pretty true. Range had mats - not the best

Decent Little Track, late June Hot day. Course was pretty empty with a 120 tee time. Got there a bit late, hit some range balls and the starter found us on the range and said the other 2 some we were paired with was running late, and asked us to tee off as a 2 some? Seemed odd as there was only one other 4 some scheduled to play in the next 30 minutes. We didn't practice putt as we liked the idea of going off as a 2 some. We played in a little over 3 hours. Greens are decent, good speed, struggled to read them. Course layout is good, Lots of trees but forgiving/not very tight course. Couple interesting holes with Rocks and marshlands in play. Course seems a little tired at times, tee boxes in poor shape, but fairways and greens in good condition. on course beverage person was friendly and attentive (pretty empty). I'd play again.

Golf In February ?

Course was in pretty good shape overall given it is February, mid 50s and windy made for excitement. This is a great track during the regular season. I play here often. Nor really fair to rate this course in February, that said, it was more than playable in February. Traps need some help.

Nice track, pretty pricey, so not a great value, but for so. Florida course, better than most. pretty tight and surrounded by houses/properties somewhat takes away from the experience. Some excellent holes, many using the water to guard the greens. Greens have some twist and were consistent. A lot of different holes, good use of the terrain.

Lots of Potential -

Played Sunday; no starter; but got off a little early; this is a short course; claims to be 6400 from the tips, I'd guess closer to 6200. lots of Driver short iron shots. They have some interesting holes, plenty of water, but it's not "too much". Bunker Sand was nice, fairway sand a little pebbly. Greens are sluggish and generally flat. The rough was thick in spots. I had played a few years back and remember it being in a little better shape. amazingly fast for a sunday afternoon, but that had nothing to do with Rangers, but possibly they aren't staking em up off the tee. I enjoyed the day and played with less experienced golfers that thought it was a fun track. Keep your expectations down and you will have fun.

Very impressive track. Many different looks, beautiful views and vegitation. Greens were soft. Practice facilities were decent. Couple short par 4s that had good risk reward. Definately playing this course again when I return to Cabo.

I remember playing this course years ago, always in great shape, a difficult course with lots of water. Some cool holes. It appears the course has not been taken care of and is no longer enjoyable to play. I played it twice this year, might be the last time even though i got a killer deal on golfnow.
