Beautiful. Reminds me of Hilton Head

Lots and lots of vegetation. Big trees, smaller trees, shrubs, bushes, you name it. Plenty of shade for a hot summer day.

Course was engaging with lots of different shots and holes. Plenty of water. There are 27 holes. We played 19-27 and 1-9. 19-27 greens seemed slower than 1-9 but both were fairly slow, but smooth. Rough was playable. Some fairways on 19-27 had been “thatched” (I think that’s the right word) leaving some parallel cuts in the grass on a few holes. Wasn’t a problem, as the fairways were good.

Great course but delays on every hole.

Great course conditions and layout. However, ranger kept pressing us to keep pace even though group ahead was causing the backup. We were paired with 2 golfers who hit 250-275 drives so it caused tension.

What Really Matters

As a reader of reviews, you probably first want to know about the condition of the course. This place is in first rate condition and gets 5 stars., as do the amenities including an incredible newly-opened bar and restaurant space. Then you want to know about the value. The best value is a Hot Deal because you’ll feel like you paid too much with what also matters, i.e. the pace play, which was horrid. Can’t say that the Ranger was non-existent because he passed through twice but made no effort to speed up the slow play ahead. Our group waited on every tee and every fairway all day long. Almost entitled this review “Great Place With the Wrong Staff” but that would have been unfair to some dedicated person. Though it may not matter to you, my experience from Bag Drop to Pro Shop to Starter made me feel unwelcome because I wasn’t conforming to some mysterious protocol and making myself an inconvenience to the very people put in place to serve.
