Comments: I liked the course design and layout. I was aware that the greens had recently been aerated, so it wasn't a surprise, but the greens were rough.

Comments: Not a bad layout, but doesn't take full advantage of being on an island! (i.e. views could be better.) Range not in great shape. It is quite a drive, especially coming from Kissimmee!

Comments: The best of the four courses we played. The higher end courses (i.e. Celebration) have nothing on this course- for the money, this course is the best we played in two golf trip outings to Florida. Well worth the drive and a must play.

Comments: This course was a very nice layout with some very nice holes.
It was not in the best condition as the greens had been aireated and the surrounds were very clumpy with grass at different heights.
It was not what we expected after traveling a very long way from central Orlando (give yourself at least one hour)
It was very dissapointing for our last day to end on a poor note.
At this time of year it should be in the best condition and we were NOT warned the greens had been aireated.

Comments: A long driver from Kissimmee, FL but worth it! A very nice challenging course. Lot's of forced carries on the tee shot so make sure you're playing well before selecting this course. Great course design and conditions! Great Price too!

Comments: Of the 4 courses we played on our weekend trip this was by far the best. Beautiful course and lots of wildlife. Very challenging and the staff was great. The condition of this course was perfect from tee to green (better than a course we played that was $40 more per round). I would definitely play this course again.

Comments: This was without doubt the best course we played on this trip, condition of course was excellent as was the service, the layout is very interesting with plenty of water and wildlife.I would recommend this course it is a bit out of the way (50 min in car from orlando) but if you make the effort you will not be disappointed. A great hidden gem .

Comments: Pretty golf course, very tough. I'm a 12 handicap and shot 94 in good conditions. Water in play on every hole. Very easy to have a blow up hole. One of the prettiest courses in Florida. Worth the 1 hour drive from Kissimmee.

Comments: If there was a higher rating then Eagle this place gets it, especially in the value dept. Awesome track, no two holes the same, and outstanding conditioning. Bring your "A" game though, the slope and ratings are for real, as are the gators. Great service and staff made this tough track (and it did beat us up) still the best of our trip. Gotta play it again!!!

Comments: It is out of the way, but you get to see the real Florida on the way.
A wild track with little housing yet. Water on every hole and windy on our day.
Fun to play, greens were excellent. Aestetically pleasing. SUPER Value for $55
GOT TO TRY IT.

Comments: Challenging layout with lots of water. It took an hour to get there from Orlando, but overall our 4-some rated the course well. Water is in play a lot, not so great for higher handicaps, but the fairways are generous. Several par 3's had long carries.
Greens were generally in good shape and fast!
Worth a visit.

Comments: This course combined great golf with a nature walk! After arriving, and checking in with courteous staff who seemed genuinely please to see us, and having a great cooked breakfast at the clubhouse (only $3.50) we headed out. The course was very quiet and we had the course virtually to ourselves. The course was in good shape, the wild life was everywhere (Including the aligators)and this was a great starting golf course for our trip. If you are not intimidated by water the course provides a good challenge and definitely worth the trip.
