Thank you for the great service and hospitality. We had an absolute blast down there and really enjoyed the golf and the accommodations. Thanks so much. Dan from Chicago.
Just wanted to say that our group had a wonderful time at World Woods this past weekend. The facilities and staff could not have been better. And as always, Stan Smith, the World Woods bus driver, was phenomenal. Again, thank you for all your help in planning our trip. Looking forward to another great event at World Woods in 2011. Mark from Chicago.
Thanks very much for setting everything up for us. We had a great time. We have been coming to this area of Florida, some of us for over 10 years. This was the easiest golf vacation ever. The golf courses were all close, so not too much driving. The Villa was immaculate and very convenient. We thouroughly enjoyed Southern Woods, World Woods (Rolling Oaks, Pine Barrens & Short Course). Our Monday tee time was at the Dunes, which is another great place to play. Everyone at these courses was very accommodating. Paul from Itasia, IL
I just wanted to drop you a note to say that we enjoyed our trip to World Woods very much. I know the winter weather has not been kind on the courses, but they were still great and the accommodations frankly exceeded our expectations. It was also great that we could do a little rearranging and get out Sunday morning before the skies opened up. (We got in 15 holes). I look forward to our hopefully booking a longer trip down there soon. Thanks for all your help. I have always found the staff down there to be extremely accommodating, and I assure you that I spread the word, and about the great courses. Michael ffrom Peachtree City, GA.
We're just back from our trip to World Woods and again had a fantastic time! The Villas were excellent. We would like to reserve again for next year - same time / same place / sem tee times. Roger from Boston MA
The trip was great, albeit a little "nippy" at those early morning tee times! And the villa was just fine for the four of us (although I'd encourage you to get "longer" twin beds (I'm 6'-3").Your golf courses were challenging, beautifully maintained, and great fun to play.Thanks again for a great golf trip. Marc from Bethesda, MD on February 9, 2010.
Just wanted to thank you for all your help with our trip. While the weather was not the best, the rest of the trip was very enjoyable. Having the villas as a choice is a very nice addition to World Woods. Thanks again! Dave's group from Ohio & Illinois, February 2, 2010
Thank you for the great golf experience at World Woods from January 19th till January 22nd. The villa was great, and the golf courses were in excellent shape. Everyone was so accommodating. Keep up the good work. We plan on coming back in the future. James from Northern Wisconsin.
I just wanted to say Thank You for setting us up with the Villas for my golf trip. They were AWESOME! We had a great time and will definitely come back. Dan from Tampa Florida.
Just wanted to thank you for making the arrangements for our recent 12/13 through 12/16 stay at the Palm Villa. The Villa was great, the tee times perfect, and thanks also for the terrific weather! All the staff at WW did a wonderful job. Thanks again. Richard from Burr Ridge, Illinois (12/18/09)
Kathy - thank you for your assistance with our Buckeye visit. We enjoyed staying at the property and even utilized that pool table. The accommodations were very nice. The golf experience was just fabulous. My friends and I had an outstanding day. Wayne from St. Augustine, Florida (12/11/09)
We had a great time the last 2 days. Thanks for everything you did. The bag guys deserve a lot of credit for arranging things for the 2 days of golf - switching carts for 23 folks for 2 days. Sending the pairing sheet ahead of time helped. Bob from Melbourne, Florida (12/3/09)
I just wanted to say thank you for your work on this trip. Everything was "top notch" and everyone had a great time. We are already talking about next year!! The Villas were great and the golf courses were all terrific. The people at World Woods couldn't have been any nicer!!! I don't know how you managed to pull off the great weather we had. Joe from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (11/24/09)
Now that I am back in freezing cold and awfully wet Edinburgh, I couldn't help thinking back to last week and the wonderful weather, the great courses and excellent people we encountered on our trip. My group of 16 have asked me to extend to each of you our thanks and appreciation for everything that you and all of your staff did for us on our visit to your courses and villas. We enjoyed the experience, conditions and layout and have already started recommending them to our friends. We will be back! Steve from Edinburgh (11/19/09)
Our foursome had a wonderful time this past weekend and we would like to say thanks to all of the World Woods employees. Top to bottom from the day I made reservations, until the cart attendant cleaned our clubs on the way out, EVERYONE treated us like we were the only guests on the property. And of course the golf courses were in terrific condition as usual, make sure Jimbo and his crew get some props also! This was our second trip, and I can't wait until next October! Many thanks, and keep up the great customer service!!! Patrick from Tallahassee, Florida (10/19/09)
I just wanted to thank you for booking our villas and tee times for our recent stay. What a huge upgrade from the hotels we used to book. Thank you. Paul from Downers Grove, Illinois (10/18/09)
We thoroughly enjoyed our golf weekend and are excited to share the experience with the rest of our group. The proximity of the villas to World Woods and the layouts are set up to make for an enjoyable outing. Thanks again. Bob from Palm Harbor, Florida (10/17/09)
Kathy: Thanks again for all your help. The golf courses were in great shape and the Oak Villa we stayed in was wonderful, met all our needs and what a great location. Your help in scheduling and re-scheduling everything was very much appreciated. Now if you could just fix our golf swings. Best wishes and we will see you next year. Michael from Moorehead, Minnesota (10/9/09)
We are planning on going back to World Woods next year. The staff did an excellent job of taking care of our needs and showed a great interest in the success of our event. A big thanks goes out to the staff at World Woods and Kathy for taking care of us. Michael (10/5/09)
First, let me say what a wonderful time we had at World Woods this past Wednesday and Thursday. The golf courses are spectacular and the villas are perfect. All 11 of the women were in agreement that next time we want to stay 2 nights and return in May. Thanks again for all your help and for a wonderful time this past week. Your facility is "first rate" and there was nothing left unattended. Donna from Ruskin, FL (10/2/09)
We had a wonderful stay in the villa. The place seemed new and very clean. Linda from Deerfield Beach, FL (8/30/09)
I just wanted to send a note to say thanks for your help with our trip. None of us had been there before and we all loved the course. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the villa worked out fine. Thanks again for all your help. Matt (6/26/09)
Thanks for everything! We had a great time and the villas were terrific. Please pass on my thanks to the pro shop. All 16 of us ate at the Riverside Crabhouse. It was great also! Bob from Melbourne, FL (6/2/09)
I wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic time and hope to do it again next year. Stephen (4/5/09)
My buddies and I really enjoyed our staff at World Woods. We'll be back again next year. Carl (3/31/09)
Just wanted to drop you a note to say how much Stephanie and I enjoyed our stay with you. The Cypress villa was extremely comfortable and very clean/well looked after. The location was very quiet and close to the golf course and grocery needs. I would not hesitate to stay with you the next time we holiday in that area for golf and I would recommend it very highly. We had a great time and the golf course was in very good condition given the drought challenges you've had. Roger (3/29/09)
Everything came off without a hitch. The folks at World Woods were a pleasure to deal with. Your recommendation of the Dunes was a good one - it was a good value and a tough, tough course. We will definitely consider coming back next year. Tom (3/25/09)
We had a fantastic time at World Woods this past weekend. Thanks for working with us and thanks for the dinner tips - they were great (Z Chefs, Moschello's & Sea Grass Pub). Joe from Harrisburg, PA (3/17/09)
Sorry for the delayed note for thanks to your kind arrangement for our golf experience in World Woods. We enjoyed every experience during 10 days in your villa and 5 days golfing in 4 different courses. Villas were nice and clean and quiet, it was very comfortable accommodation. Thank you very much to set up for us nicely.
It looks like you have increased one more town house to accommodate 16 people now. World Wood courses were excellent as usual and Southern Wood golf course was also wonderful course, Sugarmill Woods course layout was great, but maintenance could be improved to be rated highly as other courses.
All of our friends and wives were totally satisfied with lovely golf experience, most of all, all of your staff members (particularly Greg in WW) were so friendly and helpful in the pro shops and even in the dining rooms. We appreciate it greatly. Please send our sincere appreciation to your head pros Mr. Scott Wyckoff and Rick in Southern Woods.
All our friends Dr. Lee from Detroit, Dr. Kang from Canada and Mr. Kim from Albany NY and their wives want to express their appreciation for your group's wonderful hospitality, particularly, Kathy, your personal and professional care for our group's wonderful vacation experience. We will come back again too. Dr. Shin from Dade City, FL (1/29/09)
Our stay in the villa last weekend was great. Thanks for everything. Will be back in touch next year around the same time. Jeremy (1/22/09)
Thanks for everything! What an awesome time we had Sunday. The villas were more than expected. The rate you gave us was great too. I want to book more trips up there. This summer (May/July/August), I plan on getting two foursomes together. Let me know when you have your 09' rates, so I can alert the fellas. Thanks again!!! Karl (12/21/08)
You have a great operation and I can't wait to come back next year! John from Malone, NY (12/9/08)
Can you please add me to your newsletter. I played both Pine Barrens and Southern Woods only a few weeks ago with my friends from Scotland. We stayed a night in one of the lodges also and the whole experience was out of this world. I would love to hear of any new offers as we plan next years golf holiday. Many thanks Stevie ....Edinburgh, Scotland (12/06/08)
Just a line to tell you that our two day trip to World Woods was fabulous,the shop staff,bar staff and starters were great and the course was as good as any I have played in 25 years of golf,it is in my all time top 5 with San Lorenzo,Turnburry,Arabella and Sawgrass as Arnie says I WILL BE BACK.The Villa was great.The resteraunt recomended was great as well.Thanks again and please pass on my thanks to all. Keith (12/01/08)
Our 4 day stay at the Villa was great! We are coming back next year- same dates. When can we make reservations? We are shooting for 8 golfers next year. John (11/25/08)
We golfed and stayed at World Woods this past weekend (nov 15-16) and had a great time on the Pine Barrens course both days. The accommodations are very nice and we ate at the MargarettaGrill. Nice time all around. We have done the World Woods trip in the fall for 4 years straight now. We will be back. Thank you, John (11/15/08)
It worked out perfectly. I'll be in touch soon regarding the spring trip, and another for this time next year. Thanks again, George (11/10/08)
So many times, it is unfortunate to only receive negative comments. I wanted to make sure that was not the case with us. Praises to you and your staff and those at Southern Woods for making our visit so enjoyable. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating and it was a pleasure to have had such a wonderful experience. The villa was convenient to both golf courses and ammenities and we enjoyed playing each of the golf courses. We will definitely recommend the trip to our friends and consider returning ourselves when we plan our next little get away. Please thank all of the staff on our behalf for their kindness and attention during our stay. Best regards,Suzanne (11/03/08)
I want to thank all of you for a fantastic experience at World Woods & Southern Woods. My group loves the facility and a couple of guys mentioned they would be up for coming back to World Woods every trip. We love playing the championship courses and finishing the day with a few "cool down holes" on the practice course or the short course. We played 105 holes in 3 days and no one was more upset we had to cancel the Sunday tee time than me! Thanks to each of you for making our trip happen. You all played a part in making our time at World Woods enjoyable and memorable. And, you can't beat the customer service attitude each of you demonstrate. My group all agrees the price was right and the courses were in great condition. The greens on the Barrens and on Southern were fast and true...fantastic to play on! The Oaks greens were still a little rough after over-seeding, but were certainly playable.The villas worked out fantastic! They were clean, comfortable and convenient to the courses and made our stay even more enjoyable. Thanks for the recommendation to stay at the World Woods Golf Villas Thanks again,Rex (10/01/08)
I wanted you and your staff to know we really enjoyed the golf, villa's and how friendly your entire staff were during our stay. I plan on bringing my wife and other friends back soon to do the same and will definitely tell others in the Brandon/Tampa area about my experience at World Woods. Please keep me advised via email about any special offers so I can gather seven more players and make this a frequent get away! Thanks, Ray C (9/15/08)
