I got the opportunity to play this private club on a crisp, cool, sunny March day…read more The pro said the greens were measured by a stimpmeter the day before we played at 14.1. On the PGA tour, fast greens are 10.5. So these greens were much faster than the pros are used to. Think putting on your garage floor! If you are a true golfer, this is a must play course

We came for a golf scramble that included a continental breakfast and lunch. The clubhouse is…read morebeautiful. The Quarry course was in excellent shape. We had such a good time playing this unique Florida course, famous for its elevation and challenging holes.

We had occasion to visit my side of the family on Saturday and that always means a trip to Pine…read moreRidge Golf Course with my Dad and my sons. Pine Ridge offers both a nine-hole par 3 course and an eighteen-hole regulation course. It is always nice to get all three generations together on the golf course and Pine Ridge is ideal. My dad is almost 83 and my sons are not experienced golfers so the par three course is perfect for both my aging father and my sometimes less than patient sons. The par-3 course is a short course. Most holes can be reached with a seven iron or less. Fairways are in good shape and the greens are reasonably well maintained. There are no water hazards and few bunkers but many of the holes offer a lot of wooded area in which to lose a ball or two. Pine Ridge is not a world class course by any stretch of applicable standards but it is a lot of fun and very affordable as compared to courses in Tampa or Orlando. The clubhouse also offers what appears to be basic but pleasing fare and every employee I have encountered has had a very pleasant personality. I hope you never find yourself trapped in Citrus County but, if you do, Pine Ridge is a great place to while away a morning or an afternoon.

We played this course on May 27, 2019, we had an afternoon tee time and played as a fivesome. We…read moreappreciated allowing us to do so and only encountered one other player the whole round. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens we all in poor condition, This is a complete surprise from the conditions in January of this year when the course was in good condition. I was very disappointed in the course, the restaurant on the other hand, does a fine job, and the food was very good. I have yet been disappointed there *****

They try so hard!! Here to celebrate my Mom's birthday with my sister, both of us from out of town…read more Mom wanted a fancy establishment so she made a reservation for Saturday night with Prime rib specials. Beautiful building with easy parking, greeted almost immediately from the hostess. Hostess was not dressed as fancy as the establishment, so maybe it's not that fancy? Live piano music while we dined was a nice touch. Waiter arrived a few minutes after we were sat. Apologies for us having to wait, no problem. Sister and I both had a cosmo and Mom went with water with lemon. We all ordered the Prime rib, myself a queen and my sister and Mom the King cut, mom wants the end piece well done. Bread came and we sat and chatted. While chatting I became animated and knocked into my glass and spilt my drink. No one was around to ask for something to pick up the spill, had to use my dinner napkin. The waiter asked if I was OK, told him I needed another napkin and why, but never asked if I wanted another drink. Dinner comes out after 25 minutes, it's a busy night, we see that. With in seconds my Mom wants to send hers back, the end cut was 75% fat! Who sends that out? Waiter apologized profusely and took her plate away for a new cut of meat. After 5 minutes of waiting, sister and I started taking from our plates to give to her so she could eat with us. I still have no napkin and no drink except the water. My sister declares she is done and the waiter comes with Moms dinner and my napkin. More apologies and he is now frazzled so he walks away. Never asked if I wanted another drink. So now that window is closed. Boxes for my left overs and most of mom's meal. She basically ate from our plates because it took so long. Dessert menu is given, we all ordered coffee and a dessert. Carrot cake came out drizzled with caramel and too much of it that it took away from the carrot cake flavor. Only ate a quarter of it, took the rest home. While we are eating the chef comes out and starts talking to the table next to us about their experience but never leaves or asks any other guests how their meal was. An apology from him would have been great as to why Moms replacement took another 25 minutes. They really do try to be more than what the reality of the situation is. The potential is there but needs a strong lead to pull it together. A F&B person myself I saw that it was every other table type of serving which ultimately leads to poor service. Stations are for optimal results in my experience. Servers tend to not like that because they will not get seated enough, but if there are reservations, seating evenly is a no brainer. I'm pretty sure Mom is going to want to come back but for me, I think I'll recommend another place. Keep trying, you'll get there.

Last Friday was my first time playing this golf course with about 20 of my golf buddies and…read moreeveryone really enjoyed the course layout, the greens, and the fairways was absolutely amazing. Skyview has a practice/warmup area that most courses would env. The practice greens was very fast, actually faster than the ones on the course. They also have a serviceable chipping area and driving range to work on your game. Most of the holes are right in front of you, no real tricks, it does boast some of the highest points in Florida, which I would certainly agree with. The par fives are long but fair (all over 530 yards but downhill), the par fours are challenging and the par three's are a mixture of mid to long (two par three's over 200 yards from the tips). The only negative or drawback was that during our entire round we didn't see not one cart person for much needed refreshments. Other than that it was a sensational December day to golf in West Central Florida. Hopefully I'll see you on the tee box soon.

Great place with beautiful views. Will play there again. Well definitely go there again. Glad that…read morethey have prices for local people.
