Was paired up with another single this morning, and had a very enjoyable experience. Humidity got to me over the last few holes, but the course has a lot of positive traits going for it:

- Very friendly staff
- Beautiful and challenging layout, with 5 different tee boxes for golfers of all ages and abilities
- Greens were in very good shape, and very puttable. Fairways were also in great shape, as well.
- Course is not long, but accuracy on many holes is at a premium. The course also will reward you for hitting a good shot at the right times.
- Pace of play was 3.5 hours, excellent when considering the weather.

Couple of negatives:

- Didn't look like pin placements were changed for a few days, as the edges were frayed and in rough shape
- Certain areas for shots that were slightly off were very penal, and the bunkers were hardpan with no sand in them.
- Halfway food and drinks didn't have much to offer.

Would love to play this course in the spring or in the fall, when it isn't 92 and muggy - but I enjoyed this course a lot, and would recommend this to anyone looking for courses to play in the area.

Very nice course, especially for the value. A good mix of short and long holes, and generous fairways gave some room for error for those looking to hit bombs off the tee. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, from the starter to the gentlemen cutting the grass on the course. Could have used a beverage cart girl, but that's a minor complaint. Areas on edges of greens were spotty - made it tough to putt if you were a couple of feet off of the greens. Pace of play was great until the final 3 holes - group of 6 ahead of me (single), but at least they kept moving. 3 hours, 20 minutes for 18 holes is still something I will never be upset about. I'll be back next time I'm in town!

Played here Saturday, and had a good experience. Yardages on the scorecard are not even close to being correct, greens were hard (not receptive), and some damage to the greens were obvious.

Pace of play was excellent (under 4 hours teeing off at 10:30 on a Saturday is never bad), food was solid and inexpensive, and the layout had a good mix of "requires accuracy" and "wide open" to it.

Course was not in great shape - half of the greens had major issues, not to mention how rock hard they were (a little water never hurts). Pace of play was horrendous - every hole had 2 or more groups at the tee box, with nothing but 2 or 3somes on the course. It wouldn't hurt to have a ranger go tell the group of 2 dopes that being 3 holes behind the group in front of you is bad. the 2 people I joined up ended up going to Marsh Oaks hole #2 after Old Oaks #11, just to make sure we got 18 holes of some kind in.

That being said, the staff working was pleasant and friendly...guess I shouldn't expect too much for $35 at 3:30 on a Saturday <shrug>

Not a long course, and with recent dry weather the greens were pretty brown, but enjoyable little layout here. Pace of play was good until we got to the back nine - why they let 9-hole players go off of the back when people are making the turn, I'll never know. Could use a ranger to speed up play, as well.

Not the longest course (especially the back nine), but I got the good fortune to play this course after the normal tee boxes reopened up for a day or 2...there was some significant work being done for them. Our 3some finished up our morning round in just over 3 hours - no complaints at all. Golf course was in good shape, save for a couple of patches on a few greens due to the Florida summer.

Only complaint - no beverage carts roaming around with drinks, which made playing in 90 degree and humid weather a bit tough. Otherwise, had an enjoyable round - will be happy to play this again when I return in December.

Played the course this morning, and had mixed reviews of it. I'm very aware that some repairs and renovations of the course are currently going on right now, and was told this before I teed off.

Tee boxes and fairways (for the most part) were in great shape. The green were aerated and covered in sand, so we took the "2-putt max" rule to keep things moving along. Great news - no 3-putts...but any putt over 5 feet is going be an adventure to make.

Course layout is tough, but fair - many holes have wide fairways, and a few holes a player can spray it around a bit and be okay. Like most Ross courses, you can't run the ball up to the hole, and the bunkers are very penal - expect to his at least 1 "buried" bunker shot.

Overall, the pace of play was outstanding (finished 18 holes in 3 hours), the staff was very friendly - I'd be happy to play this course again, especially once the renovations and changes to the course are completed in 2024.

5+ hour rounds are all too common on this course - the group behind us was 2-3 holes behind the group in front of them, and no rangers going around to speed up their play.

Course itself, however, was excellent. Wide fairways, greens were in great shape - other than the pace of play, had a great experience here.

Good value for the money - a little bit slow on pace of play (4 hours, 45 minutes for 18), but the weather was so good we didn't care.

A good mix and short and long holes. Don't have to be the straightest off of the tee on many holes, but you can't be too wild, either. Being under the hole is imperative on many of the greens.

I'll be back soon.

Played this course from the blue tees while in town visiting in-laws. Not the longest course you will find, but accuracy is most important here - and on most holes, your misses are best if they're short of the green (short-siding yourself is just asking for bogies or worse). That being said, there are a handful of holes the wild hitters won't be penalized too badly on for wild shots.

Due to the heavy rains this spring, you can see that the greens aren't quite up to snuff yet - but overall, the course was in pretty good shape. I'd be interested to see how the course plays later on this year in July/August, once the greens are in better shape.

We played in just over 3 hours for 18 holes on a Saturday, cannot complain about that, at all. Look forward to playing this track again on my next visit to town.

If you're looking for inexpensive golf and a decent layout, you could do a lot worse than this place.

Course was in decent condition, considering that heavy rains happened overnight...drainage could be better. Not a long course, but don't be wild off the tee, on too many holes here - plenty of water of trees to penalize wayward shots.

Pace of play - eh, not so great. 5 1/2 hours to play 18, and no rangers to enforce pace of play, at all.

I'll come back again why conditions are a little drier - and quite a bit earlier, so I can avoid the 40-handicappers playing from the tips!
