- Absolutely fantastic, played it off 3 different tees over the last week gives a different challenge each time. The course is in great Nick and the staff wonderful.Played this course in Oct., 2013. From the moment we entered the facilities, we were impressed. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The course was absolutely amazing. Was in great condition. They kept it well watered during the evenings. It was challenging, but I think it is appealling to all handicaps. The onboard GPS was great. The only slight was probably the cost during peak times during the day. Something like $70 during the am. We helped alleviate this by golfing there in the afternoons. Awesome course!Played this course in March of 2012, fantastic! Worth every dollar. Very challenging with LOTS of sand. Beautiful course.Wonderful course. Very "hilly" for central Florida. Excellent condition. Greens extremely fast, lots of movement. Huge traps on every hole define the course. Many traps for eye candy but others are treacherous. Only one hole does water come into play. Prices now up to $109 in season for early play.
