Expectations

Heard and read lot about this course, so decided to try it,. The greens had many damaged spots. Some tees were also not to standards.
Layout is very good. My favorite hole is # 18
Cart was programmed to give you directions to next hole . Very helpful.
So did not meet my expectations.

Great employees course in fine shape

A very nice experience to see people so pleasant in caring for you in the pro shop, in the parking lot etc.
The people employed at Cheval are the friendliest people around bar none!
A gentleman brings you a cart, takes the cart when you are finished, asks if you want your clubs wiped.
The course is in very good condition. The greens were on the slower side most likely due to the rain the prior night.

Underwhelming...

Greens were bumpy and many had burn out with some invasive grass. White tees were pretty beat up. Not meeting expectation of a course in a high end development. There are better courses in vicinity for equal or less money.

A fun course

Staff at desk,carts and starter all very welcoming.Wife and I paired up with two singles of similar ability.Conditions were good except for some unwanted growth and bare spots on most greens.Pace was good but not quite up to the "Home of the 4 hour round" claim.Would play again but not at regular price.

Very friendly staff, golfers and nice layout

I played as a single and every group let me play through. Friendly polite golfers enjoying the day and happy to offer to let me play through. The course is challenging and requires accurate shot making. Top dressing was just applied to the greens so putting was not ideal but I'm sure it will be in a week or so. Would play again. 12 handicap/ shot 94 putting was ruff.

Play this gem

This course is a must every time the rate is reasonable. Never get tired playing this challenging layout of tight and also wide fairways, The beauty that is around this course is enjoyable. You don;t see many other golfers while you play, you feel like you are on your own private course. The morning starter is an icon to this course, very friendly.
Ate dinner afterwards in the clubhouse, grouper tacos were very tasty. Skip the TPC course and go play Cheval. Great experience and by skipping TPC course you have cash left over to go play it again the next day at GolfNow discount rates
