Played the white tees today, and course was very "gettable". Shot my age (which tells you I'm no spring chicken), and thoroughly enjoyed every hole.

Great Course to play

We are 4 friends on a golf trip. 3 of us are playing competition golf regularly, 1 of us is more of a "enjoy the day" type of player. Overall, we we're satisfied with our day there. Course was in good shape. Greens were ok, they were filled with sand in the days prior to our visit and there was still some sand accumulation left in some spots. Normal for greens care at this time of the year but wished we were informed prior to booking. Would definitely play again. A little bit more expensive than other courses we played during the week with the same type of conditions/championship layout. Staff was great.

Course was in good shape. They had spread sand on the greens so they were unpredictable.

The Past Haunts the Present

For a course that has hosted the PGA Q-school, a Korn Ferry tour stop, and multiple state-wide tournaments, Crooked Cat was a bit of a disappointment. Having played here many times in the past, the course conditions were not up to the superior standards of my past experiences. However, it is only fair to note those past experiences have spoiled me and may have caused my current expectations to be a little unreasonable given the recent FL weather patterns while I was up north. So, overall, I would say the course is in good, but not great, condition with the greens rolling true and at a decent speed. The tees, for the most part, are in good shape with a a few suffering some sparse growth. Bunkers are consistent and well maintained. As for the rough, it is fair and not intimidating. My main criticism is that the fairways are unusually thin with some bare spots, especially the first hole. Even so, the Cat is a solid track worthy of recommendation and well worth the current reasonable fees.

Slow play

Breezed through first 7 holes in under an hour, then next 7 took over 2hrs, gave up and left. A round should not take over 3hrs, not one ranger seen all day.

Course is in great shape

I read the "Mediocre at Best" review and wondered how CC could have gone down so fast. News Flash: It didn't. The course was beautiful. Mowed down tight from the fairways to the greens. The rough was low enough to find your ball but high enough to mess with your ball flight. The bunkers were edged and raked.

All in all... A nice course in great shape.

Beautiful

Had a blast playing this course. Pace of play was good considering it was Labor Day and busy. The course is extremely well maintained, visually pleasing, and challenging enough to make you think but not so challenging that you can’t enjoy it. One of the most fun rounds I’ve played. The driving range is neat, too. Would go back anytime.

Always a Pleasure

OCN. Crooked Cat is how a golf course should look and play! It’s definitely a “big boy course”, you need to come out ready to play! If you’re hitting well and play smart golf, you’ll have a great time…if not, well you’ll definitely learn what you need to work on. As always, the course was in great condition and the staff and facilities were great.
