Good day on the Dunes

A little disappointed that the restaurant was closed and no driving range available. The disappointment is it was mentioned or discussed on your web site.also cart path only is tough when you are older with lots of walking.

Always fun to play

Course in good condition. Greens a bit slows. A good challenge from the back tee. Club house under renovations, and driving range closed.

But overall a fun course to play anytimes.

Best place

I’ve played this week. Just opened after overseeding so cart paths only. Played in under 4 hours. Early tee time meant things were damp but once greens dries out they were at a decent speed. Probably not a great layout for a high handicapper, but a challenging Pete Dye layout (looks tighter than it is). Will be back.

Beautiful November afternoon

We booked a late T-time expecting that we may not complete 18 holes however we only got 14 in before dark. Unfortunately we had to wait on almost every T-box.
