very good conditions

The greens were very good compared to most of the courses that I have played recently in the Orlando area. The fairways and tee areas were very good. The staff was very friendly.

Greatly improved

The course has improved dramatically in the three years since we last played it. The fairways have been over seeded with rye grass, making the fairways very playable. The greens were also in decent condition. Hole number 7 has some water issues but that is understandable with the amount of rain Florida has received this year. Proshozp was also friendly. Could use a Marshall and/or starter. Overall an enjoyable able experience and will play it again

Miracle

If you saw this course this summer and fall, you would have thought that it would never recover.
This course is in great shape. Greens are plush and run pure. Fairways have grass and are truly defined. The rough is definitely not fairway but it is not sand and nasty. It’s fair.
As always, the staff is very friendly, courteous, respectful, and helpful.
If you don’t believe in miracles, go see this course and see how they transformed it.
It is a Miracle

Better than the reviews

I played here hearing mixed reviews. Everything from horrible to pretty nice. I found that the course played well. The fairways and greens were in great shape. The rough was well-the rough. Lots of work going into the course and it is showing. I will play it again this week.

It’s coming back

As a 6 hcp golfer And a hcp chairman of A USGA golf club, I can tell that their working on the fairways and greens to make them better. The fairways are fine, green with some sand patches but they will put the pin on areas that greens are fine and you can putt with out any inconvenience. You can’t miss the green or fairways because there is no grass, only dirt and weeds. Keep the ball in the fairway and green and you will have a good experience. Great pace of play, we saw the beverage cart 3 times, staff very friendly and working hard to bring this golf course back in full shape. I will come back

Seriously, Why do need to tell us about your useless '"title". Does anyone actually care one F what you do?

GMAB already with the 'soft", useless reviews on what was a great course, reduced to rubble by greed and idiot managers.

Much improved

We decided to give this place another chance. We played here a few times this summer and it was in really good shape. The greens and fairways were much better. Off the greens and fairways are still in pretty bad shape.
All in all, I will play here again. The setup is really challenging and no matter where you play from you have to choose your first shot wisely. It's not driver every hole that isn't a par 3.

Heard this course wasn’t in great shape. It’s not in bad shape, but probably not what it once was. But value for money is great

This course is a diamond in the rough. Great layout with plenty of challenges. Just the greens are a little rough, but with more top dressing and over seeding they will be much better. A must play!

Bit better

Some improvement, fairways appear to have been overseeded at one point-so mostly good.

Most greens were good, thin in some areas, but you could see fertilizer had been applied.

Rough was ROUGH. Mostly sand, dead grass and weeds.

Traps were mostly dirt, but most had been raked.

Significant amount of brush has been cut back from the lakes and border areas-provides a much cleaner looking course.

Course is currently priced right for the condition that it is in.
