Course Reviews
David Eide says:
This course features wide, tightly mowed fairways. most of the greens are well guarded by sand bunkers requiring accurate approach shots. Most of the water on the course presents a lateral hazard. The greens are large and fast. The staff are efficient and ready to answer any questions you might have. This was an enjoyable experience. I would recommend it to anyone.
Leo K. says:
The course was in very nice shape. All I can tell you was when the starter told me there were 118 bunkers on the course I took 2 sand rakes with me.
Rick Kramer says:
This course is pretty awesome. Located next door to Isleworth where you-know-who lives, it has the look and feel of a private club. The only course I ever played where the rough was mowed shorter than the fairway. With all the mounding along the sides this means you will be spending a good part of your day at the beach. There must have been a sale on sand when Jack designed it, because bunkers are everwhere! The facility is top notch, the greens are some of the truest in Florida but be prepared for a challenging round.
skip falcone SAYS...
a superb test from any length. we played the silver tees at about 6850 which was quite playable. the course has a number of great design features and has always been in consistently excellent shape. i`ve played it about 6 times and have never seen it in poor condition. this facility is well run and the staff is accomodative.certainly one of the top courses in the area.
Ken Reagan SAYS...
I played with Leo K. and won the match. The key is, don't bomb your drives, play strategically!!!
