We have been playing this course every time we come to Florida. Compare to lot of other course around this always are in good shape.
Then is it a really nice place with nice and friendly people’s.

If I was named Jan Stephenson I would be ashamed to say that I am involved in this course. We have been playing here for many years and think the course is nice but today was probably the last time for a long time.

Since the course have been bad we asked how the course was and got an answer that it was in perfect condition. We paid 33 usd each which many courses take around but then they are in good condition.

In recent years the course has not improved, rather retained its poor class year in and year out. The Tee are bad, the greens are distressed, that they are slow is one thing but they are also uneven, lot of weeds in them, damaged surfaces that are improved with sand. That can certainly work, but when you see that the same dead surfaces remain year in and year out you could wondering if this is the right way. No sand in the bunkers. The fact that a minor tip of broken things back of the clubhouse remains there year in and year out is also surprising. The scorecard show the wrong information and have done that for many years.

When we were very disappointed we decided to complain about the round. We got to talk to the manager and expected him to appreciate our views and maybe think a bit. But judge our surprise when we met an arrogant man who defends the course's condition and thinks it is fantastic. He absolutely could not agree with us and thought we were wrong. With such Management this course will go under which would be a shame.
Jan Stephenson's Crossroads Foundation should think about future of this course and even think about if that is the right people running it. I can promise that Jan would not like to play there.
It will take a long time until we play here again - if ever again but we hope it will be better.
Tips read other reviews so can you see this is not something new.

It will take a long time until we play here again - if ever again.
We come to Florida 3 - 4 times per year and have been doing that for more than 20 years. In the last 10 years we have played the course both spring and autumn. We started before the big renovation of the course so we have seen both sides. But the last years we have noticed that nothing is happening. The same problems are still there year after year.
The greens are slow, lot of grass on it, lot of dead spots which they try to fix with sand. The tees are in terrible shape.
We asked before we played how the course were and was told it was in excellent shape so we decided to try it once more. It’s was a bad decision. The course was in really bad shape.
When we finished we decided to go in and friendly tell them that we was really disapointed of the condition. We met the Boss who said it was depending on the cold weather, the warm weather, the rain and so on. He defended the course and sad it was in good shape.

Other courses in the same area are in very good condition. If they have had problems during the years, they have fixed it.
