My husband Jim and I had a lot of fun playing Golf Central. It has a lot of hills, which is a nice change from most Florida courses. The greens and tee boxes were in good shape. The staff is very very friendly and welcoming. I just wish there had been a little more grass on the fairways, but I think is a lack of rain issue. We had a fun round! Thank you, Golf Central!

First time playing this course and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a very nice 9 hole course with new tee boxes as well. Very impressed with the greens too. The staff made our group feel like family. Cat who manages this facility is so nice and we are looking to play here on some in house weekly scrambles.

Haven't played the course yet. Broke my arm in January, orif surgery 2 in above the elbow including plate and screws. So I've just gotten out to hit golf balls at this joint. Great price on a small bucket and decent turf to hit off. Practice green doesn't necessarily look as good as the ones you can see on course from the the pro shop area. Nothing but friendly folks so far and that's important to me. Can't wait to play this place as I see it has some elevation change. Lifelong 10 to 12 handicap. 54m .

It would be nice, if there was some real sand in the sand traps.

This was originally owned by a private owner. It wasn't really taken care of. However, now that golf central has bought this middle of nowhere course, the greens have never looked better they're smooth, well filled, and maintained. Bonus, the hot dogs are definitely the best I've had at a course, and the draft is as cold as it can get! Can't wait for another round!
