Sorry but Overpriced

Good friendly welcome — practice area — large nets so unable to see distance you hitting the bar

Course sorry a little boring —- barely a bunker in sight — greens in good condition as were the tees

Good friendly 1/2way house with friendly buggy girl on the back nine

Last 5 holes very slow — not the courses fault just 2 older gentlemen playing very slowly — amazing when I asked if they wanted to let us through they moved a lot quicker ,

I wouldn’t recommend only because it’s not worth the $200+ green fee

$150 about right

High Volume Player

First 5 holes very strange - some tee shots were effectively blind. Those holes were shoehorned into a small piece of land. 7-18 played much more normally.

Driving range is a net and roof very low.

Overall: worth the (discounted by 50%) price. Definitely not worth the $400 (full) price.

Course in great condition.

Course is a nice layout. But 2/3 of the greens have a terrible fungus. Didn’t share this fact until we were checking in.

Best Public Course in SW Florida

Best course we have played in the last 5 years. Conditions are pristine and greens are beautiful. Plenty of variation and beautiful views. Find yourself a better deal on golf now rather than booking through the course.

Enjoyed My Time

The course was well maintained and not soul crushing with extra bunkers/water for the weekend golfer. I would say that the price was a bit on the higher side, but I am from MI and maybe our prices are a bit lower.

Staff was nice, but the bar and turn refreshment stand close a few hours earlier than the course closing time. Bring extra water for later tee times.

Expensive

An expensive course for the condition and layout Staff very friendly and cooperative from front desk to cart guys especially starter/ranger. But this is not a $300 course. More like $150-200 max.
