This course to me was an unexpected pleasure to play. For someone who lives in Central FL (as I do) it is rare to find many courses with much of any elevation changes in the course layout. Being that this course is constructed in a natural sinkhole it has the feel of a northern course and nothing like your typical FL course which was a very refreshing change of scenery and characteristics.

I liked the challenging array of uphill/downhill tee locations as well as emphasis on accuracy as the course definitely demands it with it's close quarters fairways.

I am also a big fan of any course that is used primarily as a golf course and does not share the property (as a public park) with other people....while I know a portion of this land is used by people who walk the trails we did not see anyone that was in any way a hindrance to the golfers...which is always a plus.

The course definitely lacked some key features which lowered my overall rating...poor parking accomodations (pretty much had to park on the side of a busy roadway).

The course was lacking much needed signage...we pretty much had to guess on a few holes which way to go. Luckily we guessed right each time but one bad guess could have taken us way off the beaten path.

There were no benches and/or bag holders which was a bummer because you are doing some climbing up hills and so a bench would have been nice to see for a quick breather or water refill.

I would have liked to see a little more up keep of the property in terms of tee pads, fairways (clear some of the brush) and landscaping.

Overall, my initial thoughts on the course are very positive. the biggest thing for me was the elevation...it made for some really fun golf and was a very welcomed change of scenery from the other flat Florida courses most of us are used to. I have heard they are removing the course from the property which sticks because it is definitely a course we would frequent quite oftet especially in the cooler months.

Good elevation change on almost all holes. Course is well laid out. As improvements to pads and signage are made this could be a really nice course.

Markings on the tee pads have all washed away. Some new signage is needed. Course follows well but for the inexperienced could be very difficult.
