wife aced #6 piper
i highly recommend this course. Pro shop and starter could not have been nicer. The 27 hole layout could not have been more pleasing and it did not hurt that my wife had a hole in one on #6 piper course.
Perfect Condition
I have played this course in the past and always in good condition. Yesterday the course was in pristine shape. The greens were fast and held shots, fairways and tee boxes were great. All in all a fun course to play and the staff was very nice. We played in 3 hours and 45 minutes
Nice Tract
Wife and I were pleasantly surprised. We had looked to buy a condo in neighborhood, and based on price we had low expectations for the courses. We played two of the three nines and really liked it. Lots of water which made it challenging and fun.
Tee Time Not Relevant
The course for early in the year was in fairly good condition. Tee boxes were kind of sparse and the greens were grainy and slow. However, the overall course was good and a place I love to play. However, the starter seemed to favour other groups and being a single he put me off for 45 minutes after my tee time was scheduled.
I got to the course early to warm up at their great range. So the wait put me there about 2 hrs before teeing off! Other than that the experience was good.
Greens were good and true. Bunkers consistent. Enjoyed layout. Would play again
S.P.B. nice, as usual
This course is always in good condition, and this round was no exception. The greens were in excellent shape, and fast. Fairways and rough were also in good shape, and sand traps were recently worked on and filled with new sand. We played Bay and Sand courses.
The greens were in great shape. The rest of the course was average for this time of year.
Too many twosomes
Course was in good shape for March. Staff very friendly in club house and at bag drop. We had a foursome with our wives and were constantly pushed by twosomes. Must of let six twosomes through which made everyone uncomfortable.
Best Greens in This Area
Awesome layout, played all three nines over two days and they all add something different. The tee times were backed up a bit the first day due to a frost delay early, but once out the pace was smooth. The weather both days was warm with a slight breeze. The staff were very friendly and organized. I would highly recommend giving this course a try.
Beautifull course but slow
Great course but pace was slow since not enough time between starts (?) - had to wait at every hole. Total time was 4.8 hours vs a quoted time of 4h20min.
Great course
Course was in great shapes and the pace of play was very good.
Great golf experience
Great value and the course was in great condition. Greens were fast but very true. Nice widea faraway but still made a great challenge.
Scenic
The Bay course is a very nice course. Challenging!! Keep it in the fairway & you'll have great time. The Sand course was not yet up to their standards, but it should be good in April.
