I Recommend This Course
Wide Open Fairways
This is the 3rd time for me to play this course. The course in excellent condition and 2 signature holes breath taking by the ocean.
Only concern value for your money.

Beautiful, but a little boring
Amazing ocean views, but all an all, there just wasn’t enough interesting holes. Traps had very little sand (which was strange for an ocean course). And while the greens rolled true, they were super grabby meaning the ball stopped really quickly. Made it really difficult to judge length and felt like putting on carpet. Staff were lovely and pace of play was excellent.

Amazing terrain with lava or ocean on sides. Lava obstacles and sand traps.
15th hole over ocean water was a personal triumph
