Great course
We went on a beautiful day. Wasn’t rushed, everything was good. It didn’t rain the last two days and the course conditions were still good. Will definitely play again
Great Venue
Staff is friendly and helpful. Course is in great shape. Tight fairways and fast greens.
Decent Course
The staff are great here, and kept things moving despite being very busy and with added precautions due to the ongoing pandemic. I’d rate this course higher, but there are a few detractors. First, there are multiple tee boxes that are bare dirt. Then, there are odd fences/nets put up throughout the course. I get wanting to block errant shots, but these seem unnecessary. The greens are okay, not smooth, but okay.
Otherwise, it’s short but has some challenging holes. Fairways were overall dry and well maintained, but all bunkers were paved down; many taken out all together and allowed to grow back. I’d play here again; for the price point it’s not bad.
You get what you pay for.
Kemps Greens is a friendly public course that is pretty cheap on the right days and hours. Played 18 with a cart for $22. Greens were aerated but from when I have went in the past, the greens are typically smooth and aren't too fast or slow for a public course. Fairways can be spotty near the edges, but typically are above average for what you pay at other $20 courses. Course can be challenging for the players who have issues driving in some tighter tee boxes. Greens are elevated, bunkers could use some work. Practice facilities are pretty good besides the driving range. Putting green is large and plenty of holes, good chipping green with practice bunker and a "green" like landing area. Driving range is limited, hit off mats and only 200 yards or so to work with (no drivers/woods/long irons for most people). Driving range does creep onto 18th hole. All in all for a quick 18 with buddies--not a bad place. If you are looking for a top course in the area, this isn't it.

Best bang for the buck in the VB area for public courses
I have played a few courses in the area and I can’t recommend this course enough..
This one is by far the best bang for your buck. Reasonable green fee’s great layout, challenging but not overwhelming, decently kept, and friendly staff
If I lived closer I would play it every week but it will become part of my rotation for sure.
First time at this course. Course was in good shape for the time of the year. Tee boxes were very small and uneven. Other than that, I enjoyed my round here. Would play again.
Overall not bad
Considering it's January, the course wasn't in terrible shape, but definitely could've been better. Greens were very spotty and inconsistent thru course. Tee boxes were uneven and in bad shape. Staff was ok, but when I checked in they hurried us to start, only for us to wait in line at the first tee. Took us over an hour to play the first 3 holes due to 2 groups ahead of us walking and holding everyone up. Once they made the turn and let people play thru the pace improved drastically. Course layout is good for beginners.

Better tan Ocean View
The course is as good or better than resorts I play at.
Fun course, not too long, tight fairways though, good conditions considering what time of year it was

Good municipal course
Busy day at the course but still managed to play 18 in under 4 hours. The bunkers could use some sand but the course was in good condition otherwise. Friendly staff. We will definitely play there again.
Not so hidden gem!
I have been putting off playing this course because it is over a half hour away from my home. This was obviously a mistake as I really love this course. the only real issue I have with it is the lack of sand in the bunkers and a couple soggy fairways. I will definitely be playing here often especially with the condition of the course in the winter time being so good.
Great public course
Awesome public place to really enjoy the day while not breaking the bank. Food is amazing at clubhouse and the people are just like family when you walk in.
Great Public course
The city has really come along way with this course. Good round on a great course for the money.
