First class golf venue

Everything about this venue is great. The staff are friendly, professional and the course was beautifully presented. Pace of play was great even though we were a twosome following several 4 balls. Also, the course is very good value through golf now compared to several overpriced hotel courses nearby.

Great “Non Resort” Style Course!!

Wow what an awesome course! My experience with most courses in the Florida areas are resort style and not at all challenging. I played the East and North courses and couldn’t have been more impressed with the conditions of the course as well as the layout. Tee boxes were in great shape, fairways were perfect, and greens were true and fast. Hate I only got to play down here once this time but I highly recommend this course for the better player looking for a challenge.

Played north and south. South was much more difficult. Beautiful spot with several so called signature holes. Way above average but several spots where a player has to look at apartments and electrical towers. No gps on carts?
Thanks GolfNow for helping to get me a deal. I will be back!!!

Good golf

I was going to play alone and was paired with two amazing guys from the UK... then we got to hole #1... the wait started... we had to wait the whole way until 16, when heavy rain started. There was a very nice guy, member of the club, playing with his wife behind us... the wait was so long that he joined us at hole 8 south course...
This gentleman even talked to Lary, the starter... I really mean waiting in every single hole... for at least a 20 minute delay... not kidding... at my group we’re getting almost all in GIR.. that was painful.. we had to make up conversation and lost completely the pace and rhitim....
About the course... great place, very organized and well landscaped. Greens at S course were way faster than E... should be around 10-8. Not my shots, but some bunkers with clearly hard sand beneath have spoiled some holes for my peers. After 4h30 we were again waiting to kill the 7th green of E course (16th hole for us) and it started raining heavily. We just drove back to the clubhouse. Great service there, I got the car back to bay hill where it was as sunny as a beautiful beach... like nothing happened... just some miles apart... Tomorrow will play again SE Grand Cypress with a friend... fingers crossed... in a nutshell... play there... awesome place!

Excellent, I like North / South very much

Played North / South as foursome and on 10/24 as threesome. Course is in excellent condition, very good pace. Greens not so fast as usual here, but excellent. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers well playable. Overall a very good track. Pleasant time after the round in club house restaurant. Very good food, cold beer and best coffee in Orlando :o).

Great Layout

I think you will really enjoy this course (we played the Norh & South). Just outstanding, greens are challenging and hitting the greens with the approach shot is a must or you will be left some very difficult chip shots to get it up and down. Greens were just great smooth and quick.

After all the hype.. disappointing

I was looking forward to this round with great anticipation. I had heard so much about this course that I could not wait. I had played many of the top courses in the area, and its seems that this has the highest ratings. I must say I had a very disappointing experience. The welcome, while OK, was not this great welcome that I read about. The practice range and putting green were up to par, but the carts had no GPS, had no coolers to put some water for the day in, only had Sand for divots on one side and had not towels. Not the worst but I expected much more. Those are things that even average courses have. I was paired with 3 others (they were very pleasant!) but one was going to be late. They made that VERY difficult. We took off bags and replaced them one another’s carts like 4 times because under no circumstance were they going to allow and extra cart out. Made a very easy solution amazingly difficult. Still, not the worst things I have ever experienced so on to golf! The First nine (North) was painfully slow. So slow that a very nice ranger came to us on about #6 and apologized but said that is the way it was gonna be all day (uh oh) . Greens were good and fast but otherwise OK. Admittedly the amazingly slow pace (the slowest I have experienced in quite a while) obviously tainted my opinion of the course unfortunately. When we made the turn I did something I have never done before because I am a die hard….. I packed it in because the clouds did not look good. It was only drizzling and while it was likely we would get hit hard, you never know. Normally I would ALWAYS forge ahead. But in this instance my experience was subpar to this point, so since I bailed and did not play the back (South 9). Will not be back unfortunately.

What a great course

Beautifull course, very challenging especially the South course, penal of the tee and quite small, elevated greens. Very Good condition. East was easier and nice to play. What maken this course stand out from many others is that there’’s no houses or hotels in sight.
