Not to play it in high season

Overall, I found it to be a nice, tough, and narrow course, which presented a great challenge. However, I did notice a couple of areas that could use improvement.

Firstly, the practice range is in very bad condition. It feels almost like hitting balls from the sand with no grass. This is something that could be looked into for better player experience. Additionally, the tee boxes are also in pretty bad shape. It would be ideal if they could be maintained better.

On the positive side, I must say that the greens are the best part of the course. They are in pretty good shape and provide a great playing surface.

In conclusion, while the overall course is enjoyable and in decent shape, I do believe that the current $165 green fee is a bit steep. I understand that the price will drop after May 15th, but I feel it could be more reasonably priced.

Hidden Gem

Never played here before - was a great surprise. Course layout is unique and tricky. Greens were in great shape. Only waited on 2 or 3 holes.

Course quality

Fairway and greens were in excellent shape. Plenty of challenging shots required throughout course. Worth the 40 minute drive from Miami to get much better quality course at a lower rate.

Great Course for What we Paid

Paid for a GolfNow Hot Deal for $63:, inc taxes .

For this price the course is great !!!!

I see that often the rates are $149 or more . For that amount the tee times can't be 8 minutes apart and the maintenance has to be better

The greens are excellent !

The layout excellent !

The condition of tee boxes and fairways good for a $60 course .

Love the track , but the regular prices are crazy .

Great course, nice play to be

Very nice course, had also a great foursome flight rather than playing on my own. Friendly staff, nice club restaurant. Interesting layout. Only the marshall could have worked the flight in front of us as we were waiting all18 holes and spent 5 1/2 hours playing, which was a bit tiring.
