Played on 3/27/2014. LPGA International has a shared clubhouse for both the Hills and Jones courses. Facilities are top notch. Greeted at bag drop area by friendly staff (note -- golf carts not allowed in the parking area). Pro Shop ladies were very friendly. Booked as a Single, but was paired with two young spring breakers from Wisconsin. Not sure why, but we teed off on #10. Played from the Gold tees which are listed at 5744 yards, but played much longer due to the winds. Starter says to expect windy conditions most days due to the proximity of the ocean. Only a few holes have forced carries over hazards. Most do not come into play unless making an errant shot. The course does have a lot of bunkers, but they are well maintained. This course is in the best shape of any that I have played in Central Florida this year. Lush Fairways and it has full grass everywhere including the rough. Greens on Front had been recently overseeded, but did not affect the putting too much. Greens are a bit firm and fast, but the roll is true and the undulations are not too severe. The only drawback was the pace of play. Despite having a Ranger there were two groups ahead of us that were very slow with open holes ahead. Not sure if he asked groups to play faster or not. We skipped one hole and still took 4 1/2 hours to play. Overall, this is a fairly wide open course well suited to the average golfer (15+ handicap). Would definitely recommend it, but look for a discount on GolfNow. Also note that the course gives a FREE round during your birth month if you sign up for their newsletter.
