It has a great layout

Conditions were OK for 130 dollars but what's annoying is I couldnt play hole 3 because they were undergoing renovation on it very disappointing especially on peak season paying over 100 dollars

This course needs looking after

Good layout and greens were okay but fairways were in bad shape...way too may dry or dead areas. Also many bunkers were without much sand if any at all and not raked. 2nd hole was under repair and we could not play it. Further we were not told about this hole before we started the round. At 1/2 the price we paid I would say all was good, but continuing tp charge high rates for a course in such poor shape is horrible

Dissappointing

The staff is wonderful. however, course conditions subpar. The fairways are not in good shape. Hole #2 was being renovated and closed.

Hole #3 was made into two par 3's.

I would call course first prior to booking.

poor conditions

the conditions of the greens was ok but the fairways were consistently poor.

The 2nd hole was out of play (bunker work) and they screwed up the 4th hole by making it 2 pars 3's which included a hole and flag stuck in the middle of the fairway. Really.

I've played this course many times and this was a massive disappointment.

Course should be closed -- do not play

Literally the worst course conditions I have ever seen. The fairways are more dirt than grass. The bunker faces are collapsed or bare. Hole 2 is closed for play, so they broke 4 into two temporary par 3's. It should be closed and regrassed and the bunkers rebuilt. It is shameful that they are still allowing play. The GM knows this. He did discount our round after we complained. We booked direct and there was noting about this on the website, which is also disgraceful, I don't know whether this is a Troon issue or a Westin issue, but it's shameful and deceptive. As others have said, it's a total pain to even access the course because you have to park a mile away and take a shuttle. So by the time you get to the tee box (or the range which was also in bad shape), it's too much of a pain to get back to your car. I wish I had taken photos for this. It's a wreck.

Course should have been closed.

Besides, the fairways being beat up, hole number two was under construction, so we played hole number three as two holes to make up for it. Don’t think this was a $125 value.

Parking was a nightmare. We parked at least Quarter-mile away. Apparently there was a convention of lawyers that took up the parking places for hotel, guests and golfers.

The staff was very nice. Particularly our shuttle driver, went out of his way to help us find parking and get to our teatime on time. The greens were nice.

Everything was great except the fairways! Apparently Troon does the maintenance and they burned the fairways. Hopefully next year will be ok!
