Post Hurricane

Great course

We enjoyed our round of golf --the fairways and greens are in great shape. A lot of ponds so bring a few extra balls. The scenery was spectacular with all the water around the island. We will be back for sure.

Nice Course , Pace was Terrible

Great layout and fun to play as a first timer at this course but the pace was terrible. We had a foursome in front of us that played like they were in The Masters. The Ranger didn’t do a thing to move them along. 5 hour round is not acceptable for a Wednesday.

Slow day with some flooded fairways

The good : greens rolled true and nice . Bunkers were drained from hurricane Milton and played decent and not compacted. The dry parts of the fairways were nice .

The bad: the starter was not friendly.

There were no rangers to help keep the pace . We saw two groups of 5-some playing way ahead of us and around 5pm we saw a 9-some hit into hole 2 green together. I took a picture. It could’ve been the end of the day and it was a fun get together. Anyhow, think the other two 5-some played a major part in slowing everybody down not the 9-some . We waited on every hole to tee off . It was a 4hr 45 min round but not crazy slow. waiting on every hole wore us down a bit though.

The way the course is laid out , the holes were too close together. And the dog leg ones didn’t help either since the other players hit into our hole and vice versa . We were told there were some standing water when we booked , but to our surprise, about 4-5 holes had partial flooded fairways which was like extra hazard for my wife and myself . We are probably not coming back .

Nice Day

Staff, starter and ranger were nice . Tough front nine . The course was in great condition. Fairways, bunkers and greens were rolling true and fast again! we were behind a slow foursome, but the ranger talked to them and they played a little faster . Would come back !

Great Value

A remote location, but we'll worth the drive at the current pricing level. The course was in good condition and it is a nice challenge. The layout is simple yet fun.
