The Links at Spruce Creek

Terrible experience. We had 4 foursomes playing. When we made reservations there was nothing said about the conditions. Apparently new owners do not yet have cutting equipment for the fairways- I was told this after we paid. The fairway grass was about 2-3 inches deep- not really playable. The greens, which were cut, were fair at best. No food service or drinks available except for a high price at the pro shop- $3 for a candy bar. It was cart path and rough only. I have a condition that prohibits me from walking much and there was no exceptions. I had to basically quit after 13 holes. I stayed…

My parents (Sharlene and Paul Poole) convinced my spouse and I to play golf here. What a disaster! I'm glad my game is not as bad as this course. This is the trashiest course that shouldn't be compared to or even mentioned in the same breath as the "REAL" courses in the Villages! When you drive to the course from 441, you will notice that this subdivision is lacking in curb appeal and general lack of class. I'm really surprised that my parents settled on such a place to live. They always had class and expectations when I was growing up. I guess approaching 80 years old and dementia has somethi…

Had me worried about playing this course with the recent bad reviews. Played with 4 people today and we all commented on the greens and fairways being in very good condition. Course is a challenge first hole to last, maybe that's the gripe.

I recently played a round at the links of spruce Creek. I was impressed by the condition of the greens. They were soft and the putts rolled true. I understand there is a new superintendent of maintenance, great job over seeding. I have played a lot of golf in central Florida, by far the best greens around so far. The person who mowed the greens on March 1st or so definitely needs more training as the collars were scalped from not picking the blades up soon enough! All in all nice course I'll be back.

I went to this course after signing up for youth on course program which allows $5 per play. I called the course and spoke with the manager who confirmed $5 per play, no other fees, good to go. I called one week later and spoke to the same guy the day I was planning to drive out, same thing, $5 per play and no other fees or cart fees. I went to the course and he tells me the player needs a polo golf shirt and it’s $10 in addition to the $5 fee. I have heard from other golfers that this club low balls you online or over the phone then up charge once your are there. The course is not very diffic…

Very well maintained course. Greens in excellent condition. Staff was very professional and courteous. Will definitely return.

T-boxes are in nice shape, greens are going too take more time to fill in, but most of them roll true. We've golfed there a couple of times now staff were very nice

The course is in great shape! They over seeded the tee boxes, fairways and greens and a great value for a course near the villages. The rating that are on here were months ago are no where near accurate as of February’25.

Visited here a week ago. The greens are one of the worst I have played on for the price of a round. They were like putting on carpet. Did not roll true whatsoever. You would have to hammer a long putt and then watch it stop like someone put the brakes on. Layout is good but this course needs some serious work for the price they charge to play a round.

Just finished a round. Every green is punched and full of sand. Fairways are terrible. On hole 18 the Ranger/starter decides to hold a conversation with a single golfer we let pass, right in the middle of the fairway on 18. We stood at the tee box hollering but were ignored. I told the man in the pro shop afterward and he just laughed and said the guys name is Rick and said he hoped we came back. Of course I said absolutely not. Don’t waste your money here. It’s a dump and the employees don’t care.

Course is in great shape. Not difficult to play. Grass in the fairways is very good. Nice layout. Had lots of fun. We play here with Baytree Monday Golfers on a recurring basis. Carts run well, also. They have friction brakes - no need to fuss with that traditional foot pedal lock.

Golf course is in pretty good shape. Much better than previous years. But the starter staff are rude to younger golfers. Not sure why but this “young buck” doesn’t appreciate being talked down to. All in all, great golf, but the starter staff left a nasty taste in my mouth. Decent for the price but being in the villages area, there’s much more choices of courses that are in better shape for a similar price with a great, friendly, staff.
