Your just another tourist

Showed up 45 minutes only, they wouldn’t let us in the golf course unless we paid them $20 for a taxi which is a 20 second walk from resort. So had to walk back the long way to resort, then call there “special taxi”. Ended up being on time while waiting to check in, no one was in a rush to help stood 9 minutes and then was told we’re two minutes late for tee off so we couldn’t do anything else.

Then we had to rent 1 set, of course all the cheaper selection was unavailable so spent $70 American for crappy clubs x 2. $140 American for two crappy sets. Could have shared

Played at hard rock and complete different from customer service to food and drinks.

This course only comes with water, so come prepared with your own drinks.

Would only recommend if you have your golf clubs already and your ok with a fun round for your money, if not look elsewhere

Not the best unless you get a deal

Course was not busy, despite beautiful playing conditions. Driving range is only 200 yds so you can use any club that goes farther than that. There was no one out ahead of us but weren’t allowed to tee off early unless we paid a large sum. Once on the course we caught up to a backlog quickly (hole 5) and the round was 5+ hours in total. Course was in decent shape, greens were good. Rental clubs were good. $60 USD for Taylormade or Titleist set.

Best value

The greens are better than most courses in the area. The tee boxes could use a little work. The beer cart never shows up till the 8th or 9th hole.

Great golf course. The par 3’’s are tough. The two of us were able to complete 18 holes in about 3.5 hours. This was a great pace of play.The staff are very friendly.

Good for the value

Not as nice as other golf in the area. Brand new golf cart in super shape. Which was a wow on arrival.No amenities on the golf course beside a pit stop on hole nine for water and sandwich. Drinks are available for $$.

Very quiet, nobody ahead or behind us. Finish the round in less than 4 hours..

Not our favorite spot but at a GN discount price it is certainly an excellent deal.. Will play there again

Dress Code?

Not sure if dress code is enforced? Golfers checking in before us just had t-shirts. There was a group behind us that after 3 holes wore no shirts at all. Not sure where the marshals were.
