I feel so bad for the members that have to play on those conditions on a daily basis. The greens are painfully slow and grainy. Fairways are so wet you get a mud ball with every shot. Right across the street Pelican Point is in perfect condition. The staff is friendly, but that doesn't make up for horrible playing conditions... UPDATE - I don't know how it's possible but the greens are actually getting worse. It's now on par with Venice East and Lake Venice. Horrible.

Really enjoyable round of golf here! The staff really stood out as polite and trying to make the experience as good as possible. Fun course, a bit challenging from the back tees but very little tree cover so be prepared for the sun. Overall a good experience.

This is a semi- private golf course open to public-no gated HOA , no bundled fees, it is great for casual golfers or snow birds who want flexibility and affordability. They also provide golf lesson.

This is a more current review replacing a previous one posted 4 years ago. Current rating reduced to 3 stars. Course is playable and requires sound strategy to get around. Staff is very good. Greens are very slow. Putts rarely roll out. Conditions overall are showing wear and tear. Frequent deep tine aeration takes the course off line and afterwards, results in a week or more of poor conditions from the sandy dressing. Greens slow to recover, ball covered in sand and lumpy fairways. Practice areas include a nice practice green but most times the teeing area is mats only and/or “irons only.” Summer membership is a pretty good deal, except for the fact that each player is charged with the full cart rate: $30 each. $60 cart rate is exorbitant. In effect, the cart charge will end up costing more than the green fees. Not sure about returning next summer. Full membership is hard to justify given the lack of amenities attached to the offering. Food and beverage options are limited to the grill room. Kitchen closes at 2:00, bar at 5:00. No dinner hours. Staff is friendly, beer is cold and the food is good.

So I’m torn, the course was in fair condition. Some of the greens need to bounce back, but thats about it. Members here are kinda stuffy, staff is ok. Cart paths are trash, original for sure. Biggest issue is the cost of renovations makes them stack the course. You could have 3 to 4 groups on one hole, and if any of them are in red beware. Also the members or at least the ones following my group don’t understand “no cart” signs. They drive right up to the green... classy. Don’t think I will play here again. (Edited) So thinking a bit more, the staff was good... some of them. The starter and the check-in at the pro shop smiled, joked, seemed friendly. Cart girl, I did not really speak to her. I guess the end was the let down. Still not impressed with the members attitude. Sure there are probably more nice people then not nice, but representation of a group is a thing.
