Challenging course

This is a "Target golf" course with lots of water and obstacles. The course is challenging, and some of the holes are very confusing. A couple of the holes had hitting mats in the tee box instead of grass..unclear why. Greens were generally in good condition

Staff is friendly and the facility has good off course amenities.

The price was very good by today's standards. I would repeat

Firsatr time---NICE Course

We enjoyed playing Mount Dora. It is an older course with a "Municipal" feel to it. Conditions were good with tee boxes and greens in very good condition, while the greens were perfect.
Staff was very friendly and helpful.

The course is short, but very challenging. The greens are overly deceptive leading to a few extra puts.

We will go back. Great value (Price) compared to many of the other area courses at this time of year.

Poor conditions

I played this course over Thanksgiving and I was happy with the condition of the course. Things have deteriorated significantly since November.

Fairways are in poor condition, Greens and tee boxes are not much better. It's as if they stopped maintaining the course.

Friendly staff, newer carts.

Rough rough, and Aeration

It would have been nice to know they had aerated the greens !! i would not have booked, and certainly not at normal full price!

The rough areas have not been mowed in what looks to be weeks. I lost 2 balls within feet of the fairways.

The staff is nice, and the carts are somewhat new.

Not a bad track under normal conditions, but this left me with a bad taste. It will be a while until I go back

Disappointing conditions

I've played here before and was very happy with the course. Today we were a bit disappointed.

The course layout is great, staff is helpful and friendly and the clubhouse area is great. The issue was the condition of the course.

Most of the bunkers were lakes. Not a little water or wet sand, but deep sitting water that engulfed most of the bunker. Driving on the fairways was like hydroplaning on a wet highway. Tee boxes and greens were in good shape, but the muddy fairways caused most balls to plug, plus all of the driving on the muddy fairways is having a negative effect on them., poor conditions in some areas.

For the money, there are many other courses in the area with better conditions.

I would expect a course in central FL, where it rains like that almost every day this time of year to have better drainage. Other courses in the area do not have this issue.

This forum is to share honest impressions and experiences. I was not dumping on the course. I believe my comments were balanced with the good and bad

We played here on the 4th as well. It rained almost all of the day before. What did you expect after that much rain? I agree the bunkers were full of water in some places but to dump on the course due to rain seems wrong. I'm surprised they weren't cart path only, though no one ever actually follows it.

Nice to return to Legends

This is my first time back since the renovation. I always liked the course and the layout, and was sorry to see them close.

Friendly and helpful staff, newer carts, nice practice area and a friendly beverage attendant on the course.

Course is in very good shape from tee to green. Normal wear and tear, but nothing substantial.

Pace of play good, after my 2some paired up with the 2 in front of us around the 4th hole

Overall very good.... I got a hot deal with a lower than normal price. Can not wait to play this course again

Great course - slow play

The course conditions are very good and the staff is friendly.

The pace of place was extremely slow. We were backed up (3) groups at every tee box for all 18 holes. I called the clubhouse from the 5th and asked for a Ranger to come out….nobody showed up.

Improving but still needs some work

They are making great progress improving the conditions at HR. The tee boxes are very good, and the fairways are much better. Some of the greens still need significant work, while others are perfect.

Nice course with no water. Pace was good, and the staff is very freindly

Nice course

A bit of a ride from Clermont, but worth it. Nice course with very good conditions from tee to green. Rough areas, are …rough but overall very good conditions. Friendly staff, newer carts and bathrooms on the course.

We were the first group out at 7:00. Played at our own pace and finished in just under 3 hours.

Nice course that i will visit again.

Needs some TLC

The staff was very friendly, newer carts and decent practice areas.

The tee boxes are in rough shape as are many of the fairways. Conditions improved as we got the back 9, and it is clear they are working to improve, but work still needs to be done. Greens were generally in good condition with a few areas that needed repair. Bunkers were raked and in good conditions.

I liked the layout and will return. Hoping the continue to improve the fairways and tee boxes

SLOW. - Ranger Needed

The course is in good shape. The staff is friendly, and the price is right!

But, the pace of play is absurdly slow. We were pushing 5 hours and had 3 holes left…I had to leave without completing my round. As headed back to the clubhouse I found the problem 4some. 3 empty holes in front of them.

They really need a Ranger to keep the pace moving

Back 9 was closed

It would have been nice to know in advance that the back 9 was closed and we were going to play the front twice. I’ve gone back to look at my reservation and it did not provide that information anywhere!

I like this course, but i hate playing the same 9 twice. If i had known in advance I would have booked elsewhere.

At the course they insisted they told GN, but looking back I can not see it.

Hidden Gem!

Conditions are good, staff is very friendly and PoP was good on a Sunday morning. You will pay a lot more for other courses that are not in the condition of this course.
