Terrible experience. We had 4 foursomes playing. When we made reservations there was nothing said about the conditions. Apparently new owners do not yet have cutting equipment for the fairways- I was told this after we paid. The fairway grass was about 2-3 inches deep- not really playable. The greens, which were cut, were fair at best. No food service or drinks available except for a high price at the pro shop- $3 for a candy bar. It was cart path and rough only. I have a condition that prohibits me from walking much and there was no exceptions. I had to basically quit after 13 holes. I stayed only to support my team and putt. On top of that, they charged us $41 to play. Our group will not be playing here again- we used to play here at least once every 3 months. The one star rating was generous.
The course is a nice layout. Gorgeous oak trees all over and definitely apart of play. The greens suck, sorry but they do!
Ambassador followed our family and harrasssed us until we left. Paid for 18, only played 5. We were last players of the day and it 4 on Friday afternoon. I have to assume he wanted to go home. Greens are horrible.
My parents (Sharlene and Paul Poole) convinced my spouse and I to play golf here. What a disaster! I'm glad my game is not as bad as this course. This is the trashiest course that shouldn't be compared to or even mentioned in the same breath as the "REAL" courses in the Villages! When you drive to the course from 441, you will notice that this subdivision is lacking in curb appeal and general lack of class. I'm really surprised that my parents settled on such a place to live. They always had class and expectations when I was growing up. I guess approaching 80 years old and dementia has something to do with it. Regardless, my family will NEVER go back to this subdivision.
Had me worried about playing this course with the recent bad reviews. Played with 4 people today and we all commented on the greens and fairways being in very good condition. Course is a challenge first hole to last, maybe that's the gripe.
