Question:
I would rank them as follows: 1. Eagle Marsh 2. PGA Golf Club (Reserve) 3. Ballantrae 4. Florida Club 5. Cobblestone 6. Champions 7. Golden Bear I don’t know anything about Cutter Sound and I haven’t played St. Lucie West in years. Notes about the courses; *Eagle Marsh: extremely difficult from the tips, long carries over wetlands….but an absolutely drop dead gorgeous track. *PGA Club: Both courses are always in excellent condition, the greens on the North course are brutal by Florida standards, very undulating, has more elevation changes than the South. Well drained. Can’t go wrong on either. *Ballantrae: Nicklaus course, fairways are forgiving, a fair amount of water, good shape. *Florida Club: a nice little course that has some interesting holes, course management here, firm greens *Cobblestone: tricked up course, tight, a good bit of water *Champions: Fazio course, average is the word here, nice layout but not terribly exciting to play *Golden Bear: young course, wide open, hardly any trees, not interesting at all, the best thing about the course is the club house which is a monument to Nicklaus You picked a great place to play. We drive up from Miami all the time because the course are better maintained and don’t get as many rounds on them as the ones in Dade and Broward counties. Have fun!
Response:
I’ve played four of the courses listed. I highly recommend the PGA Reserve courses (North & South) and Hammock Creek (Jack Nicklaus). Ballantrae is a few notches below the above courses. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I will be in Pt. St. Lucie , FL for about 9 days, and I have these choices of courses to chose from. Does anyone know anything about these courses, and make some recommendations? 1. Ballantrae 2. Champions Club at Summerfield 3. Cobblestone 4. Florida Club 5. Golden Bear at Hammock Creek 6.
