Royal Tee Golf Course, Cape Coral, Fl

We first golf this course in 2016 and have been back a couple times. It's now called Cape Royal Golf Club. There are three 9 holes Queen, King and Prince. There was always a pretty effective starter there and we alternated which course we started on. Play was fairly quick for a Florida course.  The course was well-maintained with water on almost every hole. There are homes on the course and some of the holes can be pretty tight because of it.  We were able to book through golfnow so we got a little cheaper rate and we have golfed as a twosome here which is unusual for Florida.  There was a cart girl and bathrooms. We had a pretty good hamburger after we golfed.  There are 5 sets of tees so the course is good for all level of players. We enjoy the course and that's why we keep going back.

Eagle Ridge Golf Club, Ft. Myer, FL

Florida courses are very expensive and as much as we golf, we have to try to get a deal. So we booked through golf now at 2:37, big mistake, got there early but right behind 16 guys, then another 4 some. We were told by the starter that we'd be lucky to get 12 holes in so the couple we were paired up with and ourselves decided to just do 9. Then we were told they "don't have 9s".  After a long back and forth with the manager, he gave us the twilight rate of $30 - said we should have known that by booking at 2:37 we were taking a chance. We said we had no idea it would be so crowded and so backed up. We got 11 holes in and have a rain check for $22.  The course was nice, the holes we saw anyway. Water, and narrow. We did see a big alligator near the green on one hole. No cart girl. Have to go back to do the raincheck. Well, we never went back because it was just too expensive. Maybe some day...
