Bunkers

I thought the condition of the course was very good, I was disappointed with the bunkers, there were a lot of stones in them and not enough sand in them as well! We teed off at 9:10 and the bunkers were not raked at all!

We hired golf clubs at $50 and for that price I expect better condition clubs, I had to change my 5 iron and driver as the driver was a rattle and the cavity on the back of the 5 iron had fallen off!

Very enjoyable

I came in with low expectations based on previous reviews. However, those thoughts were quickly gone as the course was significantly better than I imagined. The tees and fairways were in great shape and in great shape. The fairways are wide and fairly forgiving. The greens were very undulating but on the slower side. The only negative thing I could say is that we only saw the beverage cart once but that may be because we played so quickly. All in all, it was a great experience and I hope to be back before our vacation is finished.

One miserable employee

I have played this course numerous times. I use to use Golf Now to book but there prices about 6 months ago doubled which I am sure is not there doing. So I use local discounts. I had not played this course in a few months because of pricing but when I got there an employee actually came up, called me by name and thanked me for coming back. All the employees except one are great. The last 2 times we played there was a woman on the drink cart was miserable. She finally made it to us on the 7th hole and I asked for 2 shots of whiskey and 2 beers. My friend actually tried to make small talk but no response and no smile, no ice to keep the beer cold and if there was 3/4 of an ounce booze I would be shocked. For the first time ever NO TIP. Did not see her again till the16th fairway. She had just served people on the green I literally had to scream to make her stop then she waited for me to go to her. GREAT PLACE ONE BAD EMPLOYEE.

Nice course, slightly high cost

Booked last minute, fairly high rate but course was in good shape. Not too crowded, went out off the back 9 due to a party of 17 starting before me on 1. OK set of rental clubs. Cost included an open bar which I did not take advantage of while playing but nice spot to sit and have drinks outside after. Fairly basic but nice clubhouse.

Golf for an afternoon

The course was in great shape. There is not much to the clubhouse or range. The carts are also old and should be replaced with range finders. The food and beverage could also be enhanced. The course was in great shape! Pace of play great since we teed off at 1:20 pm.

Overall nice experience but overpriced for amenities provided. For a hard rock, the experienced needs to be over the top!

Everything is included, however there was close to nothing to have.

They said breakfast and lunch included yet the menu was basically ready made tasteless food.

There was a rest stops where they said that there was food and drink. They were all empty.

The only thing was free beer.

Really not worth the drive.

Playable vacation course - bring range finder

Wide open and playable. First round in Punta Cana so nothing to compare with. GPS was removed and the course has very few yardage markers so have your range finder handy. Friendly staff.

The all-inclusive aspect was light pastries and basic sandwiches along with the typical adult beverage selection for the area. Overall a fun round.

Long course

Even from the whites it's a long course for me but I only hit my drive about 2:25. The greens were very slow and not well preserved because of ignorant golfers not fixing their bull marks. The sand traps they put something in them that I guess they call sand but they were absolutely terrible and very hard to get out of and I'm usually pretty good out of traps the stuff they had in there was more like semi wet cement
