Review: I was a little hesitant to play this course because of the mixed reviews, but the boys and I played it today and were pleasantly surprised. You can tell they’re working hard to make it a great course. The practice putting green isn’t the best, but it’s fine for warming up. The course itself was in really good condition. The fairways have a lot of undulation, so you rarely get a completely flat lie. The greens were sneaky fast, which made for a fun challenge. The highlight of the course was Devil’s Elbow — holes 14 through 17. They’re creative, tough, and memorable. If you can get through those, you’re in good shape! The staff were friendly and informative, and the food was good (a little pricey, but worth it). Overall, I highly recommend giving this course a try.
The golf course, overall, is in good shape. A couple greens show some burning. Lots of shade. I think the heat index was well over 100 degrees. Tough course. Shot maker on a lot of holes. The greens all seemed to be a little different in speed, break, etc.
Such a fun course to play! It's always where I play when I'm in Tallahassee. Couple of the Par 3s are my favorites anywhere I've played (one over the deep gully & one that's almost an island green. Love the Par 4 that has the huge bend to the left & trying to cut that corner (risk & reward). Course conditions keep getting better & better and can't ask for a more pleasant staff. Kudus to the owners for pouring money into it over the years.
My brother and sister in law live on hole #4 with their 3 kids, so I get to play there every time I'm visiting from Tampa. Devil's Elbow, holes 15-17, are wild! My brother once made a 12 on #17 after hitting 5 balls in the water off the tee to the island green. The course plays so much better than it did 15+ years ago. I can't wait to be back up there in April 2026 to play it again!
Barely worth the $40. Bare fairways, unmowed tee boxes and rough greens make this place one I’ll avoid every time I’m in town. Additionally, if you’re unfamiliar we the layout you will get lost traversing from green to the next tee. I had to stop fellow golfers two times to find the next tee. “Devils Bend” was an interesting 3 hole run, but it was too little too late and wasn’t enough to save the day and the rating.
