Improving condition

Played here a couple of times over the last few weeks and the course is improving. The greens were hollow tined a few weeks ago and are gradually getting better and smoother. The bunkers are having new sand in them and the overall condition is getting better each week. Staff are very friendly. There are free range balls when you arrive. We played on a Sunday behind a mixed Texas scramble so the front 9 was fairly slow but the whole round took us less than 3 1/2 hours. We will play there again and it's good value for the "Hot 🔥" tee time.

Nice Coursr

This was a great day for golfing. My wife and I played in 3 hours with few people on the course. Just the right level of challenge for mid-70 year old golfers.

Good, could be better

Friendly staff when you arrive and check in. Course could be in better shape. Greens are small and protected by frontside bunkers. The new carts made play enjoyable. Overall good value for a quick round or to work on skills.

Course needs much TLC

Course has a very nice layout but it truly needs much work. As previous people have said, it makes no sense to loose balls because of the manner the rough is neglected. Bunkers need much attention as do the greens where golfers repeatedly putt over burnt greens.

The staff is truly very friendly and welcoming but sadly, we’re not going back anytime soon. We shall wait for reviews indicating that management will have addressed the above issues that have been repeatedly mentioned.

Great value/staff

Price was great compared to every other course around. Staff was so friendly and accommodating. My dad needed to rent club which they offered complimentary and were apologetic about the clubs which were better than good especially for free! Course layout was fun with some blind shots. Course conditions could be better but absolutely no complaints with what we paid. Will be back!

nice course, tee boxes were very good, fairways nice, some blind shots, bunkers need machine raked, rough was easy to hit from, the wind can make the course play longer. club house and starter helped out getting me paired up with other players. need another week for aeration marks to heal on greens.

Can't wait to go back!

I am a big fan of this golf course and can't wait to play it again! We walked into the club house and the staff was very friendly. Warning the golf carts can not go to your car they will shut down. We learned that the hard way. They had two amenities that I have never had at a course. Free driving range and also the carts had GPS. The course was very nice. Some of the greens are aerated but still in solid condition. If you are looking for a course you can bring your driver out for this is the course for that.

River Wilderness fun

The course as always was fun. It was a shame that there was still some hurricane damage on and around the course. The greens had also been punched two weeks prior to my round. But overall I would play the course every other week.

Rough course

The course has a great layout. It was fun to play in spite of the conditions. Greens had just been aerated, but that’s understandable. The worst conditions on the course seem to be in the rough and in the areas around the greens. Tea boxes were decent.. I get the impression that this was a very nice course years ago, but they probably don’t have the funds to keep the condition of the course up to snuff. We will probably play it again, because the green fee was appropriate for the course. Nice people everywhere, and a really good restaurant.
