Very good conditions, friendly staff, a very enjoyable afternoon

Pro shop staff very friendly and accommodating. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in excellent shape. Love playing this course for a nice walk and a challenge on each hole. Great value for the money

A Little Rough

Fairways were very short. Greens had just been areated and sanded. As a result, there is no such thing as a true line. Ball bounces all over the green. It will be a month or more before the greens will be in reasonable condition. Until that time, be prepared for a difficult round.

Nice course, too many players

A long walk to the first tee. Course conditions were great. Fairways and greens were fantastic. Too many players on the course made for extremely slow play. We had to skip a hole to get in front of the terribly slow foursome ahead of us. I won’t come back because of this. Don’t need to spend three hours playing 9 holes.

Good round for the money

Course conditions were very good. Tee boxes nice, fairways good shape, greens good but rolled a little differently from the front side to the back side. Perhaps it was because it had rained overnight and by the time we finished our round late in the day things were drying out again. Overall an enjoyable round for the money. We’ll be back again.

Plan on a 5 hour round.

Course was in fair condition. It has been very dry this winter and it looks like there isn’t much watering being done except for the greens. Many of the tee boxes were just dirt, no grass. Some greens were ok, some were very patchy. Biggest problem was that there was a foursome of women who were extremely slow and had the entire 18 hole trip backed up. Most of the time we were sitting behind the tee box while a twosome was waiting on the tee , who were waiting for a twosome midway down the fairway who were waiting for a two or foursome on the green. It took us just about 5 hours to complete the round.
Management needs to do a better job of pairing up twosomes and speeding up foursomes to keep the pace of play reasonable. We just barely finished before dark.

Good winter course

Front 9 greens have been sanded and are in pretty rough shape. Back nine are in good shape. Greens fees are reduced to reflect condition of front 9. This is a good course to play for the price, but don’t get discouraged by the front 9 greens, they don’t putt very well. We’ve played here three time since this winter and will probably come back.

Getting better

Greens are getting better all the time. Fairwaysmare well mowed but grass is getting a little thin. Likely because it’s winter and grass is semi dormant. Perhaps some more watering would help out. Overall a good round with very good winter conditions. We’v eplayed Here three times this winter and will probably be back again.

Nice course, great conditions

Fairways great , greens in great condition. My only complaint was about the pace of play. It was a holiday, but the course was too busy. We waited almost all the way around on every tee box because there were simply too many players out on the course. We had a very slow foursome in front of us who were held up by a foresome in front of them all the while we had a threesome behind us who were constantly hitting up into us. Very frustrating conditions to deal with. I’d come back to play here again but not on a weekend or holiday.

Nice course for walking

Wide open fairways in very good condition. Greens putt well and in great shape. Only problem is they are pretty domed and unless you land on top, often the ball won’t hold. Overall a nice 9 hole round for a good walk workout.

Good value

Greens and fairways are in good condition. They have finally removed all the hurricane debris from the fairway on hole 6 and reopened it as a par 5 (was cut down to a temporary par 3 hole). Good value course for the money. My only complaint was that the pace of play was quite slow. We had to wait on several tee boxes all the way around. We have played this course several times this winter and enjoy it, but it’s never been as slow as it was this time. Part of the problem was that there were too many twosomes and even a single walker out in front of us. Management should have paired up some of the twosomes. Also shouldn’t allow walkers out when the course is this busy.

Good value if you get a Hot Deal

The greens on the front 9 have been aerated and sanded, and several areas on many of those greens have had sod added. At present, they are pretty barren but have been rolled and putt ok but not great. The back 9 are all in good condition. The course has posted a notice about the front 9 greens on their website and in the pro shop, and they have dropped their rates to summer rates because of this. Overall the course plays well but once again, the pace of play was quite slow. We had to wait on many tee boxes all the way around 18 holes. If they could get the pace of play stepped up, this would be a fun course to play. Overall a good value for the money but quite slow.

Ok for practicing your irons

Course is too short and too tight for a beginning player. Conditions were ok but not great. Staff very friendly and accommodating but this is not much more than a chip and putt course. If you want to practice that, it’s ok. If you want anything else, forget it.

Great outing

First time playing this course. Conditions were excellent. Fairways and greens were perfect. Quite a challenging layout. Well worth the money. My only complaint would be the pace of play. The course was extremely busy. We were held up almost 30 minutes teeing off on #1. Play was quite slow. It took us 5 hours to finish 18 holes. Otherwise, a great afternoon in the sun.

Good conditions and nice layout

First time on this course. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Fairways and greens in great shape. Nice layout with water on many holes but good fairway conditions. Once again here, the only problem was slow play. Too many twosomes were on the course and that slowed everything up. Management should have had twosomes pair up so as to keep the play moving forward. A big problem with all the Florida courses we have played this winter is that course management does not adjust for player volume. I will come back here to play again but not on a weekend. Just too crowded and not good course management to keep play moving forward.

Good course for the money

We’ve played this course probably 4 or 5 times since early October. The conditions are improving each time, especially after the Hurricane went through. Greens are rolling fairly well, fairways are in pretty good condition. The rough is a little long in places but overall pretty good condition. The hurricane damage that was piled up on the 6th fairway has finally been removed and it looks like the fairway has been reworded. The entire hole has been shortened to a par 3 so the original hole is still not useable, but it looks like that may change soon. Overall a nice course and great value for the money.

Improvememts are very nice

Before playing here I read several negative reviews from earlier in the year. When we arrived I was told they just finished installing all new greens. Although the greens are still a little patchy, they should be great in a month or so. Putting was fine unless you end up behind a bare patch which has not yet filled in. Fairways were nicely mowed. First cut of rough was a little long in places (we found probably a half dozen balls in the rough on our round). Sand traps are still somewhat grown in, but you can tell they are really trying to bring the course back. Staff is super friendly. We’ll come back again for another round.

Nice course, very slow play

We have played this course probably three times so far this winter. This time was the absolute worst. The course is in great shape, greens are very fast, but the pace of play was terrible. We had to sit and wait on tee boxes on 4 holes on the front 9. There was an elderly couple two groups ahead of us that were so slow that we could have taken a nap on every hole. We finally decided to jump ahead of them and had to skip 8 and 9 to get to 10 and tee off on an unobstructed back 9.

Staff should have been sending every other twosome or foursome out on 10,then the next on 1. There was no reason for this, because there was nobody on the back 9 when we skipped 8 and 9 to get to it.

I like the course, but course management needs to do a better job.

Nice course.

Friendly staff, nice layout, first time playing here. Lots of sand traps, maybe a few too many for an inexperienced player. Entire course was well groomed, greens were super fast. Pace of play was kind of slow though. We practiced extra putting on the last 4 or 5 holes as the twosome ahead of us was held up on the tee by a twosome in front of them on mid fairway, who were held up by a twosome on the green. That happened on the last 4 or 5 holes. Didn’t see anybody from staff show up to try to speed things up. Other than that, a real nice course, just slow play.
