The course had issues with 2022 flooding. Two par 5 holes were shortened to par 3, understandable. Balls were easy to lose in plain sight in the rough, uncut and type of grass. The lake course had a lot water hazards.

I enjoyed my day. Finished in 3 hours and 10 minutes alone. Often hit a second shot.

Course conditions

I know you are trying to get the course back in good shape, but you still have a ways to go. The fairways are still a little thin, the fringes are needing more grass and the greens are not quite filled in yet. The worst though is the cartpaths, the junky condition of the rough, the dead trees along the course and of course the hurricane damage.

Course needs major work

The only nice part are the greens. It's really run down from what it was. 1 and 10 were flooded so now par 3's. Starter didnt know too much , never told us the code to the washrooms and how far number 10 par 3 was. Our gps wouldnt work. The pavement is heaved, tee boxes and rough need lots of work.

Pretty nice

Overall, a pretty decent course. Although, they are obviously taking their time rebuilding the first and tenth holes (currently short par 3's - originally par 5"s). So, that's a bit of a downgrade of value. Otherwise, it's a nice track.

The course u see is not the same condition!!

Luckily, the course did not charge me! I only paid fee to golf now. I did not play after being so disappointed . The pics all over the internet are not the recent pics of course. The course looks as though they still have not repaired the damage from last years huge rain storm(hurricane). Very deceptive and very disappointed. Don’t be fooled!!

Storm Recovery

The course was hit hard by storms this past year and this has had a serious impact on the course. The 1st and 10th, which are both usually par 5s, were shortened to par 3s. It’s a nice layout, but the overall quality of the tee boxes, fairways and greens was a disappointment.

Not bad as many others say

1st and foremost. The starter Asha (hopefully I spelled that correctly), was great. Staff in pro shop were very nice and kind as well. Holes 1 and 2 were flooded in Hurricane hilary and they are now par 3's. The driving range was flooded as well. Yes, there are some dried out spots in the fairways, and the rough will eat your balls. Course greens were very nice. Greens were not bumpy, dry, or anything, Greens were rolling like any big course in the valley. Course was not packed, so we were not rushed on pace of play at all. Layout is tough, but overall, not bad for the price. If you can overlook the dead spots and no range, the course is actually a great value for the money!
