Great 4 hours

The staff is second to none.... the course is in very good shape, considering Iram went through a week and a half ago. As soon as the bunkers are restored, and they are currently playable, the course wil be perfect....

Hurricane Survival

Even with Irma hammering the course just 4 days before, the course was in very playable condition. Not many people played, so we played it in 3 hrs.

Fun course with a friendly staff!

The course was in pretty good shape except the greens were aerated within a couple of weeks. My wife and I love playing this little track with challenging holes and beautiful scenery. We will be back and would recommend to all!
