Florida Historic Golf Trail
4.0 of 5 starsReviewed April 8, 2019
Here in the 40's and 50's the fences played for fame and glory - Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Byron Nelsen... and... and...
Billy Maxwell bought this course in 1971 and his daughter is working to restore this course to its original state - what an honor for Donald Ross.
The club home page has a link to Donald Ross. The list is long - over 500 courses she has - for that time a very amazing number.
He has worked in the golden age of golf course construction - employing over 2000 people.
It is not certain that he has ever visited this course, it is said that he has never seen a third of his planned course.
For years we have a list of old golf courses that we want to visit and work on. Some time ago, we came across a home page that now guides and supports us - floridahistoricgolgtrail.
... really old, really nice... is this parkland course
Already when entering the clubhouse we are relegated back more than half a century. There are university sex toilets!
The first nine are completely flat and ring to play. We already had concerns about the rating, but the second nine still have it.
These have light terrain crossings and well placed water. We had to work hard to keep the score.
The course is very well maintained - sometimes a bit rustic as it is for old places. The greens are very good and we often hang out. They also grew rather small. In addition, they are often well defended with bunkers - very good bunkers - with high edges.
The members are very proud of their course - rightly so.
We had a lot of fun.
This course can also be played well on foot.
