The course is cut out of the Florida woods, so it is ALWAYS wet and occasionally very wet, though I don't ever remember it being flooded. The rough is deeper than most and usually costs you a stroke to get back on the fairway. If you spray it beyond the rough, then you're lost. Some locals refuse to play this course due to its difficulty.
Million-dollar+ estates line the course, if you like/don't like that sort of thing. At the driving range you hit floaters into a lake. The course is always in good condition and is a treat to play.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again
