Wow only a Wow!

This was the best course I've played next to El Capion in Kissimmee this year. Beautiful layout, very well manicured greens, quick but not stupid fast. Fairways just super green and NO bad lies. Make this one A go to course after playing other places and you will see what A means.

I don’t usually do reviews but I am this time. Very nice course. I’ve been playing this game since I was 7 years old. Grew up on country clubs. The pro shop is a place of customer service. Two gentleman in there should probably learn that. Awful customer service. For 40 bucks more go play Regetta or Kelly to get a friendly service experience when you are down there for vacation. The persona of that you are better than somebody doesn’t really work.

Cheers!

Great Course

The course is in great condition in all aspects: greens, fairways, traps, tees, etc. The practice areas were really nice and well maintained.

The GPS on the carts worked well and was very helpful.

The course was so nice and so enjoyable that we played 4 times last week (M, W, T, F).

Great course w aged clubhouse

A very great course, challenging and fun, very little water, super soft bunkers. Only "complaint" would be the 60s Vegas vibe of the clubhouse which has nothing to do with the course. I'd definitely play again.

Well kept Greens best in the area so far!

Staff was wonderful , bag attendant and restaurant I received excellent customer service. Layout was fun nothing exciting very classic north Florida golf. Fairly flat surfaces with raised greens, greens weren’t too large and the bunkers are set quite away from the putting surfaces typical resort style bunkers. Overall the conditions of the course were very good, very few weeds nothing but healthy Bermuda around the putting surfaces. Greens weren’t fast but also not slow and they held their lines very good they had recently verti cut them and top dressed which helps with grainy Bermuda . Bunkers are well maintained and not too deep. Fairways and teeing areas were in excellent shape freshly cut and healthy. Practice tee and green were in great shape with new golf balls. I did not see a beverage cart but to be fair there wasn’t much traffic on the course to demand that. Clubhouse had some pretty good options for shirts and hats also.

Monday afternoon round in July

Bought the special tee time rate for early afternoon. Nice driving range with balls already there. Putting green was nice. No starter. Saw no other groups ahead of us all day, pace of play great. Played blue/white tees a little short but I’m on vacation and wasn’t trying to be a hero. No gimmicky holes, just solid layout with few blind shots and nice smooth tiered greens. Would play again for sure. Only found water near bathroom on back 9 so bring a lot for yourself.
