Finding a story within every experience is my desire and using the characters I encounter to serve up some verbal animated fun. Let's start with Milt, the Florida Fast Times at Ridgemont High wanna be with a wig-ish looking sun beaten off dirty white Joe Dirt mullet. Not sure what was more disturbing to me, his teeth or the poorly phrased words that tumbled from behind those broken scummy chicklets. Didn't tell me anything about anything, where's the starter, are we early or on time, will the weather hold off? All of which I asked about, but at least I can now walk away from that busted grill and get on with my golf. Then a quick stop in the men's room and the stenches hit me like a ton of poopy bricks and as I spun for the exit holding my breath, I caught glimpses of a bathroom that's not been attended to in days. Cart guy looked so life beaten he could barely lift his chin to notice the $5.00 I tipped him for nothing other than the fact that his tip jar had only enough pennies to almost cover the plastic bottom. Poor guy in more ways than one, I felt terribly for him, not for Milton. The course is short with the one handicap hole being somewhat interesting with a quick turn right to a circular shallow green. The rest of the course was damp and chewed up on the fairways and around the greens with clumps of no grassy spots. Lift, Clean and Place was in play with so much constant muck on my ball and not a rain shower in days. So if your going to play here, just avoid all employees as best as you can and look at it as a day if practice if you get a good deal as I did on GolfNow. It's not the place to get excited about, the bunkers were in decent shape.

Do not book online. My credit card was charged immediately even though their website clearly…read morestated "at no point during the online reservation process will your credit card be charged by Terra Ceia Bay Golf Club for the amount due at the course". Then, when I tried to cancel my reservation, I was told to contact GolfNow (even though their website at the time did not indicate I was booking through GolfNow) who refused to refund the $10.60 convenience fee. After arguing with the woman at Terra Ceia Bay about this, she promised to refund my $10.60. Not surprisingly, I never received it. There are plenty of other courses that don't have these shady business practices. Go elsewhere. Update - I have changed my review to three stars because I received my $10.60 in the mail yesterday with a note thanking me for bringing the "questionable" wording to their attention. Also, I have noticed that their online booking now shows that you will be booking through GolfNow when you check out and offers you a discount for paying in advance, which is interesting because my experience with GolfNow is that you always pay in advance. Regardless, I'm very pleased to see they revamped their online booking and refunded my money as promised.

Every course should have that. Great place to play!

3.1 stars is laughable…read more Was it The Masters? No lol But these reviews are so far off the mark. Service: Good. Everyone was friendly from the guy who grabbed our clubs in the AM, the guy working in the pro shop checking us in, and the starter (The bunker on hole 1 is not 280 so dont listen to him on that piece ) Only complaint is we didnt see the cart girl until hole 15, but we tee'd off at 7:50 so that happens quite often at alot of courses. Pace: Great. We had to wait a few times but nothing crazy. Finished our round at 4 hours exactly. NOW, 95% of the golfers were 65+... so if youre an outsider thinking you can squeeze a quick 9 or 18 in the mid afternoon, dont go there. Course Conditions/Layout: Conditions were extremely pure, especially around the greens. Bunkers were a little sandy at the top so had to battle some fried eggs but welcome to golf. The layout was actually much more attractive than i assumed it would be. Good variance of challenges and unique carries. Since there are almost zero options in this area for public golf, I would highly recommend this for any travelers. Only can book 3 days in advance so hope for some "bad" weather to scare the oldies away for the day.
