Most people don't realize this but it is the ONLY course in Florida to host a US Open (women's in 1969). The course was redesigned by Jerry Pate (you probably heard of him--a men's US Open Champion)in 1992. This course is known for its hills (yes, this is still Florida) and lightning-fast Champion Bermuda greens. There are a few doglegs and somewhat blind shots which makes for a good round. Love driving over (I live 50 miles away) and playing this gem.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
