GOOD COURSE!

i had good time to play golf.

Staff are friendly and the course is getting better than I used to play here.

The rental club is new, but it's a bit expensive because it's $50. 3 balls and a tee are free.

I want to play here again.

No GPS on Carts?

You would think that if you pay over $50 to golf a round, AT LEAST GPS would be equipped on the carts. The USB Charger in the cart did not work either. Greens were in good shape, but there were a LOT of ball marks that were not fixed on all of the greens. Fairways were burnt and dry.

No cart anymore with Hot Deals. Rude staff.

I have played this course many times with a Hot Deal and always received a cart as part of the deal. The staff has always been courteous and helpful. On 8/16/22 I went to the pro shop to check in with what turned out to be a very abrupt staff person who then became rude. He told me the deal including a cart became invalid two weeks before and he complained of having to explain this to people utilizing the Hot Deals on Golf Now. He said the problem was with Golf Now and not the course. He was very agitated about this and verbally aggressive with me. He was obviously tired of explaining this situation to people which tells me a lot of people using Golf Now play at the course so wouldn't he more appropriately be courteous??? I was courteous to him in spite of his aberrant behavior.

Terrible shape

I have played this course for years. It's in the worst condition I've ever seen it. Ground under repair everywhere on the course. T boxes in bad shape.. One was closed completely. It seems like their grounds team has no clue what they're doing.

Horrible

This course is in terrible shape. A few of the tee boxes were completely closed and most of the fairways had many large areas of bare dirt. Additionally, the staff was aggressively rude which was just strange. My group had already teed off when the starter insisted on pairing us with a very late arriving group of beginner golfers. It made no sense and the starter was just plain rude and oddly aggressive about it. Also, if you get a Golfnow Hot Deal, you will be charged an additional $15 for a cart no matter what. The rude staff and horrible conditions really makes one think twice about playing here.

Needs a better head grounds keeper

The course condition was sub par. A lot of ground unrepair. Moved tee box on number two for reseeding of tee box. I would hit ball in fairway and I would be hitting in dirt or dead grass. Pass of play was 4Hr 48mins on a weekday. I have played way better courses for the price they ask. They need to fix the condition of the golf course.

Slightly Below Average Public Course

I had heard great things about this course from some friends. Teed off at 12:10 and was pleasantly surprised by how challenging this course was. Unfortunately, the course is not in great shape right now. Fairways were super dry with a bunch of dirt spots scattered throughout every hole. The greens were very average but had a bunch of unfixed divots. The weather was a redeeming factor because it was excellent conditions with only a fair amount of wind (understandable being so close to the ocean). Maybe this course used to be 4 stars. I feel like that is not longer the case so I'd give it a 2.9 out of 5.

Always Fun

Course is always in decent condition and fun. The greens were a little lumpy, but overall not that bad. No complaints, will come back.

Good for the price

Really nice layout. Not too hard or easy. Patches of dirt on fairway get annoying. Greens are decent. No gps in carts.
