Outstanding back nine, Jan 27, 2008

reviewer: rlm from Tampa

Front nine kind of non-descript, boring. Back nine is very nice - and scenic. This is one of my favorite Tampa/Bradenton/Brandon area courses.

Golf, Jul 10, 2004

reviewer: Bill from Palmetto, Fl USA

I like the course. It has pretty wide fairways but still challenging. Really hot playing this course though due to the fact there are no trees on the immediate course to provide shade.

Paradise Valley Golf Course
"Paradise Review"
An above average course with smaller greens. Some elavation changes but nothing major. Greens are true but not very fast. A chipper and pitchers dream. A few shortish par 4's that will tease the big dogs but look out for the hidden teeth. A challenge for sure but fun.

"Best Kept Secret In Texas"
I am a very experienced player who really enjoyed the great conditions and excellent design of this golf course. I later found out that it is a Bill Coore design. He is considered one of the best minimalist designers working today. The members of this course are hiding a real gem in Southeast Texas.

Rolling Hills Golf Club
"Now OPEN TO PUBLIC! Challenging and fun!"
Rolling Hills is a great course for the intermediate to advanced player with its challengingly longer holes and strategically placed hazards, yet is fun for the beginner player with closely placed tee boxes that avoid most water hazards. The contour of this beautiful Longwood property yields anything but the typical FLAT Florida experience. For instance, the par 5, 14th takes you from the back tee box across a 180-yard water hazard to the first landing area, which originates below a 6% grade approximately 65 feet below the green. Other holes leave your second-shot approach to the green completely blind, unless your tee shot carries past 200. The dogleg left par 4, 9th, takes you up and over a large hill and drops 35 feet to the green protected by both water long and sand short. All par 5's are barely reachable in two, giving even long drivers a slim chance at eagle. The par 3's, though most are short, have tight greens and close O.B. markers. Water comes into play on a handful of holes. Eleven holes are nearly straight with a few very tight fairways. Some dog-leg holes require perfect tee shots or accurate fades to reach the green in regulation. The course grass could be greener and the fairways better managed, but at $35 per weekend morning round in peak season for FL residence, I think Rolling Hills is a great value. Pros: driving range, solid greens, fun course. Cons: No refreshment cart the day I played, a couple neglected fairways and too many lost balls on the 12th!
