Superb value in the area. This is a fun & challenging layout... and it's not littered with houses on both sides of every hole like most Florida golf courses. The staff, especially the starter, were fantastic.

Course was in great shape, pace of play was great and staff was all kind and helpful. Shoutout to the guy bringing carts to the parking lot and picking them up, he was on top of his game.

Played this on September 2 not in good shape at all. The greens were miserable. The tea boxes were worse many of the greens were like putting off of your lawn at home not mowed very well. It is a great layout, but lacking care. I would not play this until reviews go up not even worth a discounted rate of 25 bucks.

Was reluctant to try this course with limited Google map reviews..glad I did. Great course for serious golfers. Very challenging layout with most holes requiring at least one well placed shot. Lots of water and bunkers and undulating greens. Tee boxes were flat with sparse grass...but who cares. Golf is all about the greens and then the fairways in importance. Fairways were excellent with some nice fluff under the ball, only a few holes with extremely tight lies. Greens were in mostly great shape and a little on the slower side but fast enough for an enjoyable round. If your an average player or worse definitely play forward tees. The white tees are at around 6400 yards on the card. If you don't hit a long ball be sure your irons are accurate. Course had some soggy spots even though we haven't had a lot of rain so I'm guessing it could get pretty wet if there was a good rain. I was mainly playing Southern Dunes but for the price I will definitely start playing here instead. It's definitely worth playing. Nice carts and great Pro Shop staff. Every hole is beautiful with lots of wildlife.
