Course was recovering from aeration

Greens had been recently punched, but I knew that in advance. The pro shop called ahead of my time to alert me, as well...Appreicated! The course is usually in top notch condition, and will be back to that in a couple weeks.

Not good!

Haven't played there in a couple years, and it has gotten worse. Crabgrass on the greens rough still too high, bunkers bad....only thing good was that very few others there so I was able to get around in about 2 1/2 hours. I have no idea how the owner stays in business....must be using it as a write off. Its a great layout, just in deplorable shape. Someone who cares about golf could really make it into a tremendous golf course.

Very good experience

Just visiting the area, and was so pleased with River Glen. Good conditions, good layout, good challenge with the sloping greens. Will plan to play there again!

Always enjoy Otter Creek

Otter Creek North/West is one of my favorite courses in the country. Course was in OK shape but it was just after they had received a lot of rain so low areas were wet. Greens were fine, and overall enjoyable experience. Caught up to a slow foursome that had everyone backed up. Guessed they were locals - didn't permit anyone to play through. But, still fun to be at Otter Creek.

One of my favorites

Was driving to Indiana from Florida, and arranged my travel so I could stop and play Otter Creek. One of my favorite courses in the country. It was in very good shape, perfect day, and relaxed pace - just as I hoped. Before I head back South, I will visit it again!!!!

Hmm…not much to say

Had heard the course was improved but it still has a ways to go. Lots of poa in the greens & fairways are sparse. Absolutely love the layout - its a diamond in the rough, just waiting to be polished.

Getting Better

Been a couple months since I played at World Woods...Pine Barrens was "healing" in nice shape. Greens were overall good and the rest of the course in fine shape. Always a treat to play at World Woods!

Great layout that needs work

I love the layout at Twisted Oaks, but unfortunately the conditions are just fair. Back tees were almost absent of grass, and the greens are still spotty with poa annua grass setting in. Its a fantastic layout - every hole is good - just the condition is sub par.

Thank you for rating the golf course. Hopefully the conditions you are referring to will improve once we get out of transition. This is a particularly hard time of the year for a golf course that overseeds for winter players. The heat is stressing the winter grass and the summer grass is just coming out of winter dormancy.

Exclamation Point!!!

As good as golf can get! Even when Pine Barrens isn't in primo condition, its still a treat to play a world class golf course. Never get tired of World Woods.

Wonderful golf course

I am fortunate that I get to play at World Woods regularly. I was paired with a man visiting from Iowa, and he commented several times that Rolling Oaks was a course "you could play every day and not get tired". Absolutely correct. Its a beautiful layout, and always fun to play.

Can't get much better

World Woods Pine Barrens is a treat! Course always provides a challenge. Rolling terrain and sand dunes very different from most Florida courses. Pure golf!

Always a good experience

I am fortunate to be close enough to play at World Woods regularly....what a treat!
Rolling Oaks was in good shape - greens were fast, fairways good.
World Woods is golf at its best! Saw 3 eagles splashing in a pond on my way in...Lots of turkeys running around - Thanksgiving is coming, sand cranes, alligator, all added to the good experience.

Just about 100%

Course is almost all the way back from fall aeration. Fairways were good and greens getting the speed back.
We've had a lot of rain last 4 days....Didn't see a wet spot on the course - drains very well!

Recovering well for aeration

I knew the course had been "punched" several days ago, so I knew it would be in recovery mode....Still fairways & tees were good and the greens rolled well....not up to full speed, but no complaints.
Always a pleasure at Juliette Falls!!!

Pure Golf at I FINEST

Seldom can you go someplace and flip a coin over which course is better. World Woods has 2 top notch layouts in Pine Barrens and Rolling Oaks.....Same property but 2 distinctively different courses. Pine Barrens is more a shot makers course with tricky greens. Rolling Oaks is what a "minds eye" golf course looks like....rolling terrain, large undulating greens, traps well placed to guide the eye. It is ALWAYS a treat to play at World Woods.
