Course Review

My Wife, Grandson, and myself enjoyed a round of golf on Sunday. Pace of play for us was 4 hours 15 minutes. Course was in good condition, fairways had good roll with quality grass, greens a little slow but play true.

This course was in better condition for the money tham any course in 30 miles radius.

I will be back.

Pleasantly surprised.

I was pleasantly surprised with this course. I admit my expectations were low; however, the round far exceeded that low bar. For example, for me to enjoy a round of golf, the greens speeds must be consistent from one to the next. Of course, I prefer faster greens, but I will take consistent slow greens over inconsistent fast ones. The greens here were notably consistent, including the practice green. Kudos to the course superintendent.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We’re glad the course exceeded your expectations and that you noticed the consistency of the greens that’s something our superintendent and maintenance team work very hard to achieve. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to the crew. We appreciate you playing with us and hope to see you again soon.

Great Value

Course was in great shape. Considerably better than the last time I played here. Only downer was the pace of play because of the two groups in front of us having an outing. Taking pictures on every hole and slowing everyone down. Other than that, really enjoyed the day. Will be back for sure.

Worth Extra Drive

After complaining at Edwin Watts about clover and postage stamp greens at other courses, I made the drive to Margaritaville and was pleased that I did. Greens are professionally maintained, not too much water or sand traps. Pace of play was appropriately quick.

Great course

Golf course is in excellent condition. Haven't played here in 15 years because the course was not in decent shape the last time I played. It's definitely gotten better. Price is a bit high still but quality of golf is so much better.

This course is Amazing

I played here about 3 years ago and it was in rough shape but today when I went out it was in the best condition I’ve seen it. Fairways were green and plush with little to none hardpan and the greens were rolling smooth and true.

Night and Day

A Big improvement has been made in course condition, compared to a couple of years of Ugly. Fairways and Greens are better than most, right now. Still some threadbare spots here and there, FW more than the greens . All in all 3.5 to 4 Stars

One of These Days

As usual the Fairways were nicely cut and beautiful views of the wildlife. Appreciated the tractor and lawn guys turning the engines off while swinging. Money Shot for the Hole in One is getting closer... one of these days.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback, but we do need to address your comment regarding the greens. This assessment does not align with the overall feedback we are currently receiving from other golfers, nor with recent evaluations of course conditions.

While conditions can vary day to day due to weather and play volume, our maintenance team is actively working to maintain and improve playing surfaces across the course. We encourage players to reach out to us directly during or after their round if they feel conditions are not up to standard so we can address specific concerns in real time.

We value all feedback, but it’s important that it accurately reflects the condition of the course. Thank you again for your visit.
