Longest game of my life!

My skill level is extremely limited in strategy play which is necessary for survival on this course. Hole 8's hole placement was impossible to snuggle, ball rolled more than 12 feet away from the cup with every putt. I lost two balls to "the claw", may they find themselves in the belly of the biggest alligator sunbathing next to the tee box on the back nine. Course was in super shape with a beautiful lay out. Greens slow due to recent fertilizer dusting, call before you book your tee time. Overall, hardest game of my life but I can't wait to get back!

This course ensures a well rounded day.

Having never played this course, the morning began flawlessly. The staff was most helpful. Driving range sufficient. Tee boxes angled off line promoting a challenge. Fairways wide and open but becoming overrun with weeds. Greens readable but fast causing quite an adjustment in my putting swing. Their hot tee time is around 0730, but worth the early morning.

This course requires skill and strategy.

Not only did I have to focus on how to play but I had to focus on HOW TO PLAY!! Almost every fairway is designed to outlast you. Even the par 3's are challenging yet being a lady new to the game the fairways are wide which balances it for me. If it weren't for distance I'd play here every week.

This course has charisma.

Being that my golfing partner cut his teeth on this course back in the late 70's and now nearing retirement, here we are again. There is much needed work and I am hopeful there are plans in progress since this course has so much character.

This course is nestled in a community but you'd never know it.

Coming through the front gate and being greeted by the guard with such a friendly attitude, it was going to be a great golf day. The greens were weed free, bunkers nice and sandy. Having the attendant clean my clubs afterwards and spend a moment letting us talk about our golf good and bad moments was such a nice touch.

This course is fun for all

Great layout. Water and trees are not an issue. Ended with the same ball I started with. Unfortunate in that this course does not drain at all. Don't recommend it during our rainy season.

This is a well maintained public course.

The fairways and greens were green and weed free. Maintanence staff visible with their efforts evident. Course ranger rounded several times to ensure play was moving accordingly.

This is a public course we play every year.

Being a public course does not diminish the care this course receives. Fairways and greens are in great shape. Some tee platforms uneven but easy to work around. Bunkers are in need of sand. Pro shop staff super friendly.

This course is green from beginning to end.

The staff was helpful. The fairways were green and well trimmed. The bunkers were challenging and the greens were difficult to read. But being that my golf partner is a scratch golfer and I'm still learning this course worked for both of our levels.

This course was exceptional.

The course is in excellent condition, meaning the greens, the fairways and yes, the bunkers. Cart GPS like no other course showing distances to everything in front of you. I look forward to another 18 holes at the Highlands Course.

Great value but greens need attention.

I appreciate the cart GPS. Tee boxes are under construction. Greens are in need of attention as well. Excellent value for 18 holes using Golfnow's hot deals, rain or shine.

This course is perfect to overcome fear of hazards

Sand and water is abundant off the tee boxes, before the greens, to the left and to the right. What I thought was going to be something of an executive course turned out to be quite the strategic challenge in regards to ball placement. 2 to 3 fairways could use some TLC but it is evident the course is receiving significant attention due lush tee boxes and greens. Can't wait to go back.

This course is non-discriminating

Our party consisted of high to low handicappers and at the end of the day, each player shared their challenges with the course layout and none were the same. Very enjoyable day.

Great course for ladies

First time I finished with the ball I started with. Great confidence builder. Excellent to see exactly in my game where technique is poor. Fairways were punched but the greens were intact.

This course is in very bad shape.

Dave in the pro shop is very nice. But the course is in very bad shape. Weeds abundant. Sand hasn't been freshened in many years. Tee boxes extremely primitive. Driving range? I need to stop. We won't be back.

Primitive golf

All I have to say is see where Ladies tee of on the 18th hole. I'll say no more!
