Fat Guy Review, '09: Of the more budget-minded World Golf Village package options, you might try Cimarrone, known as "The Wild One". Not to be confused with the famed California resort course of the same name, this Cimarrone is 10 minutes from WGV, pretty typical of Florida golf, surrounded by in-play McMansions (my buddy Jeff hit two houses with the same tee ball), with water or marsh on every hole. Overall it was a somewhat fun challenge, but there were a few too too many bugs and mosquitoes, too much water, and it was a bit too tight for my Grip-It-And-Rip-It mood. Maybe next time I'll play it sober. Fat Guy Rating: 7.25
Golf.com Review: This course is highlighted by water hazards (lakes or marshes) coming into play on every hole. The course is recognized as one of Florida's finest eighteen hole designs because it features incredible breathtaking surroundings. The first hole is a 530-yard, par 5, featuring a dogleg right fairway which requires a tee shot that must carry at least 200 yards for a clear approach shot to the green.
