Great Layout with Rolling Hills and Great Views

Its a somewhat hilly course, walkable if not too hot. Greens are surprisingly fast and all in top shape. Three nines greet you. When traveling to the course you will pass two gated communities that use golf course names. LOOK for Dandrige CC which is the third titled name.

Great but big problem at the Turn

Fabulous Course in top condition given drought conditions for almost two months before hand. There are three nines but when we played one of the nines were closed. Maybe this is why when we finished the first nine and came to the second nine there was a lines of 8 golf carts. We did not start the second nine for 30 minutes. My guess is the management decided to load up on both nines as in Florida in the Summer there are no snow birds and maybe the third nine being closed lead to that decision. NOT GOOD for such a nice course. First Nine 2 hours. Second Nine 3 hours. Time to try someplace else.

Great Course

Most Florida Courses in this area are flat with lots of water hazards. This one is NOT flat either on fairways or greens. Water is still and issue. Course is in pristine condition and the staff keeps it that way. While its a challenge its a beautiful layout and the homes on the course are at a very good distance, so you get that true country club feel.

Not bad for after Tropical Storm Alberto

Course got 8 inches of rain in several days and got more after that. The course while soggy was surprisingly good. Greens were a bit slow due to the rain but in good shape.

Good Course nearby

This is a very popular course which ususally is not available to out of towners but with the weather holding up, got to play it. Its not a long course but what is lacks in length is made up for with shots requiring good course management and trick undulating fast greens. Had a very good time.

Nice well maintained course in Venice

I live within 10 minute drive so playing a nice course close to home is great. Its a semi-private so worth asking about member outings or groups. Best to get out before them. Course was re - done last year with much improvements taking hold.

Thank you so very much for your four star rating and endorsement. Our entire team appreciates it and looks forward to your return. Great advice on checking on groups before one comes out to play - we are becoming very crowded and it is wise to call ahead.

Fun Course with some interesting Challenges

Other than a few of the greens needing attention. Played early mornings (summertime) so fairways were somewhat wet but the greens ran fairly quick.

Overall good layout. Great prices, again summertime.

Tricky Course but Nice Layout

Its a stretch but it has a feel of Augusta. Old Trees and well establish Course. Better if you get paired with a local who knows the course. Many blind shots and dog legs. There are a couple of holes that are under repair but almost done. The greens are in great shape as well.

New Favorite

Interesting holes, good condition, greens in pretty good shape for early in the season. Overall this is a very good course. Worth driving the extra 45 minutes to play a 4 hour round instead of Down State Courses with 5 - 6 hour rounds. If the weather is good a beer on the Hudson is 15 minutes away.

Jack woulld be dissapointed

Yes, when its a Holiday weekend and nice weather courses are going to be busy but a six hour round, please! Apparently management is trying to make money by jamming groups five minutes apart without course management.

I apologize for the poor experience. Please contact me at (845) 782-7888 so that we can attempt to make this right. Despite having 9 minute tee times and rangers on the golf course some of the rounds this day were negatively impacted and I do apologize.

Plays tougher than the yardage dictates

It's prime time in Florida with all the snowbirds present. You need to play early OR prepare for a five plus hour round. That said. This is a very good course. In good condition with moderate to fast greens.

A Gem in the Mountains

Beautiful Views coupled with Great Conditions.
The course plays longer than on the card. Need to know the course as there are few straight targets. Greens are running fast and many are crowned. All of this makes the course play more challenging than you might think. Its a beauty in my book.

A Work in Progress

After several years of efforts, the course still needs work. Its better than five years ago. The layout is fun and interesting. Not a long course but shot placement is vital. You can get into trouble very easy on some of the narrower holes. Greens are in pretty good shape but the bunkers are not so much.

Golf in the Catskills

with Kutchers and the Concord Closed. Grossingers is the only one left harking back to when the Catskills was the place to go. Great Layount and in Great Shape. The greens are faster than they look.
Beware using golf cart as the paths are shot. You will bounce around quite a bit.
Very little in the way of food and drink.
