We have been fortunate to be members at TFC for almost 10 years. We could not be happier with this club overall. The membership which come from diverse backgrounds have varying previous club experiences and equally diverse golf skill sets and could not be more welcoming. the course is always in excellent shape and have had so many quests that comment on it being the best private club in the area. very hard to beat our conditions and RTJ Jr course layout. We are pleased with management team and staff that really work hard to make the member experience top rate. We are looking forward to many more years of enjoyment at the club and look forward to the continuing development and golf course renovation that us in our future.

Yes, call that one star review upon customer service I received while trying to watch a senior golf tournament. I was informed that it was a difficult course to walk but I could walk and try to keep up with them or I could try to ride on the back of one of the competitors golf carts. The fact that I drove 2hrs from north central florida at 6am to come watch a family member compete was irrelevant. I tried to pay and didn’t want anything for free, and walking at that pace for that distance wasn’t an option. Guess they just didn’t want to accommodate someone under 40yrs old at this fancy schmancy facility. Customer service isn’t what it used to be. Such a shame. Now I get to drive 2hrs home. Thanks Founders

Won a round for four at Founders in a silent auction. Best money I ever spent!! The course and surrounding grounds are beautiful and the friendliness of the staff was the cherry on top. If you are a golfer and ever get a chance to play here, take it. And don't forget to grab a bite to eat in the clubhouse as the food is great.

Beautiful well maintained golf course. Golf shop staff and teaching staff are all friendly and knowledgeable. Whatever you need staff will research and order the perfect club, clothing, bag etc. Teaching staff takes a real interest in helping you improve your golf game even if you are not a great golfer. The food at the club house is excellent whether you are having a quick lunch or a special dinner. Lovely location for a special event. We hosted a family member's 95th birthday there 6 months ago. All in attendance were very pleased with the atmosphere, food and service. Membership is friendly and welcoming even if you do not live at Founders.
