Scary approach to the course: about a mile from the course, we pasted an abandoned Lincoln continental with no wheels on the side of the road. The course is right next to an airport, so be prepared to hear jets taking off as you are teeing off. On the bright side, we got a tee time of 2:15pm and only paid $25. I think the official twilight time is 3pm. Course is tight with a lot of hard pan so you can chip and roll, but greens are fairly big. Lots of seniors playing since it's florida. This course reminds of East Knoll in Parsippany, New Jersey. Lots of dog legs and the yardage seems generous. Good warm up course.

I exchanged a week here and got a West Village 2 bedroom. West Village is older, but the accomodations were OK. Some items did not work in the room such as 2 lights and there was no dish drain for the sink. There was a fire ant hill right outside the door, which was pretty scarey. The place is huge, you need a car to go anywhere. The pools were nice, perfect for little kids and never too crowded. the Pizza place on site was good for pasta/ pizza. The problem I have is that this is supposed to be a gold crown resort. I don't think the accomodations live up to gold crown standards. The resort is very close to restaurants and Disney, which is great. I think I will try another resort next year.
