What a fun course! The conditions were great. Greens are a little tricky to read. Many holes have multiple ways to play. Definitely a must play.

Long story short... if you do the stay-n-play as non-members, expect to be treated like 2nd-class citizens. I recently organized a group of 16 to play 2 rounds of golf on the same day (Quarry in morning, Ranch in afternoon). We had guys flying in from outside FL for this big day of golf. Communication with Greg/Sales over a two-month period trying to plan the event was intermittent, which should have been the sign that I needed to go elsewhere. Long story short, the evening before our big day, I get a one-sentence email from Greg simply stating our first set of tee times were bumped to 11am to accommodate Member play. After a 5 1/2 hour round waiting on groups in front of us during our first round, and rushing through lunch as quickly as possible, we only got a handful of holes in on the Ranch. All in, we dropped ~$8,000 on golf, lunch and beverages for the day. While the cart staff and restaurant staff were wonderful, we definitely didn't get what we paid for. I wrote Greg a month ago asking for some sort of refund on greens fees given our group are not wealthly by any means (mostly first-responders... firefighters, police, teachers). Crickets from Greg. Maybe this review will prompt a response.
