I decided to try a municipal course out west ,COOPER COLONY COUNTRY CLUB. This course use to be semi private but has recently been taken over by the county. The condition of the course is not fair to rate as I was there the Saturday after both Hurricane Bonnie and Charley blew through the South Florida area.

Get ready to improve your putting, as the greens are full of breaks in every direction (whom ever takes care of the greens has a great sense of humor, I have seen less cowlicks in a head of hair) . The gallery is as old as the course (built in 1959) and some of the iguanas take umbrage to you trying to shoot your ball from the edge of the water.

Prices are reasonable  ($18 with a cart). Walking is permitted and walking carts are available.
