What I like most about this course is the tree lined fairways and elevation changes. The staff is super friendly and it is a good course for us seniors who hit the ball straight but not as far as we did in the good young days.

Always Enjoy Bliss Creek

We play here often because it's a fun course and the staff treat us well. It was a very hot day so we really appreciated the great cold water that they have throughout the course. They do the best job of providing plenty of cold drinking water out of all the courses that we play.

Better than expected

The course conditions are not always the best at Villa Olivia so we were happy to find the conditions very good. Also, the weather was perfect but the course wasn't crowded so we played in 3.5 hours.

The rough was so long that it felt like I was playing in the US Open. Give us Seniors a chance to have a good round.

Hi, owlbrk80. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. We are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game, and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Bliss Creek Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Tees Need TLC

I've played this course several times but never saw the tees in such bad shape.
It is a difficult course for us seniors because you have to carry many water hazards with your approach shots. Bring lots of golf balls.

Course is OK

I've played this course several times because it is hard to get a tee time here in Naples because the demand is high and there are very few public courses. I've been playing a private course as a guest most of the Winter but my member firend went home so I had to find a public course.
The staff at Hibiscus is super friendly and efficient.

Bad Conditions

Unless you are 6 inches from the hole, you're lucky to sink a putt because the greens are so lumpy and slow!!!
I'm concerned that I won't be able to putt on a real course after playing this course a few times. However, you can't beat the price here in Naples so if you're out to enjoy the beautiful weather and don't care about the golf, then this is the perfect course.

Beautiful Weather

Always enjoy playing Bloomingdale because it is a well managed and maintained course. Today, the weather was perfect so you had to enjoy yourself no matter how you played. The only problem for me was that the greens are a little slower than what I'm used to and I kept leaving putts an inch or two short. Also, I really appreciate that they are switching to Fall rates this week. A lot of courses don't switch to off-season rates until November when I'm already in Florida.

Very Hot

Unfortunately, we picked one of the hotest days of the summer to play this course. In fact, one of our players decided not to play at the last minute. After playing, I called Golfnow customer service and they were kind enough to credit my acount for the missing player. I am really impressed by their customer service. Regarding Villa Olivia, the tees and fairways are too long but the greens are in great shape.

Good Greens

The greens were good, but the tees and fairways were very long. Looks like they don't water the course so they let the tees and fairways grow long so they do't get burned out.
