TPC Treviso Bay is a very well laid out course, with tough shot making, risk/reward holes, all the length you want (I played it at 7300+ yds). It is in tremendous shape- especially considering the development went bankrupt. They kept the course up- kudos to the staff. The development was recently bought by Lennar and they are finally building in there again. However, the course doesn't have a single home on it yet, and will only have homes on 4 or so holes when all is said and done. I carry a 2.1 index, and this course is one of the best public courses I've played. The only concern is that because the development went belly up the clubhouse still isn't finished, and won't be for a few years. If you are looking to play or want to buy a home in Naples- look me up- www.dougsellsnaples.com
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
