Many doglegs make up the course. There is always an opportunity to go for it on any hole, guess wrong and there is always water waiting for you.
Sand traps are scarce, average and always doable for the average duffer.
Greens are average, not always in the best of shape, but they are making progress and have been doing some renovation as of late.
The always present ranger will make sure your day goes smoothly.
The Staff is pleasant and helpful, happy that you have stopped by.
The Pro Shop is well stocked, about average size and you are able to make the usual last minute purchases at reasonable prices.
The Snack Bar located near the putting green as you make the turn from your first nine, is nicely stocked, the service is fast, priced fairly, and the serving staff does have a sense of humour.
Green fees are nicely priced during the off season for your local Floridians. The prices will go up in season as is the norm. Always call for tee times and fees. You can call up to four days ahead of time.
***** Course management is key on this course. The fairways are not very wide, pay attention big boomers. You will have your chance. A suggestion, hit from the blues instead of the whites, the ball will play better. A very enjoyable time will be had by all.
3 out of 5 stars.
