Slow Day

Foursome in front of us wouldn’t let us go Making for an hour longer round. The ranger saw but would not do anything about it due to the course not being crowded on this day Also unhappy that the silver card we purchased guaranteed a rate for Monday thru Friday They now have made Friday a weekend rate and don’t honor the silver card That’s he bad The good is they have a great group of guys and gal The course is continually being worked on Grass is greening up Paly it you will not be disappointed

shag carpet greens

the greens were in need of attention. the fact we had to reserve and pay extra to do so through an ap was disappointing. by the time you pay for the tee time through the ap you pay more than the course was worth. $75.00 after the fees. this course at best is worth $39.00 in the condition it was in.

Island pointe

Greens were in great shape for this time of year. Course is challenging and fun to play. Bunkers weren't groomed very well but for the most part we had a good round

Great day at Island Point

Was on short vacation to PF and wanted to play a little golf on a beautiful 80 degree day. Have play her before and knew it was a good and challenging course. Zoyzia fairways were good and greens rolled true with medium speed. Some repairs were going on in couple fairways, but other than that, courses was really good. Pace of play was good considering the 80 degree day in November. Would re comend playing here.

Fall golf

It was a late fall day, light wind and 75 degrees. The course was in above average fall shape and the greens were rolling well. We played the white tees at 6200 yds ish and I felt the fairways were fair and reachable at my 230 ish avg. The course winds down to a river and it is pretty. The par 3 with the forced carry over the river is awesome. If you are in the area, it is a good place to play, challenging but fair. I played with my Air Force buddy so that made it even better….
