Casselberry Golf Course

I’ve played this course more times than I care to remember. It’s a good choice for those who are just starting out and who golf on a tight budget. To be honest, it’s not a very good course, but it’s one that I remember fondly. Many of the holes are waterlogged, the greens are reminescent…
