Oyster Reef Golf Course

Our tee time was bumped four hours prior to schedule. This forced us to change dinner plans with our out of town guest…..not good! Pace of play was unacceptable and the Marshalls did nothing to accelerate play. Small discount in price was a mere token and considering we went off after 2:00 pm was not enough as we finished in semi darkness. Also, no one helped us with our bags at the start or close of play. Love Oyster Reef and have played it many times over the last 25 years but today was a real downer.

We arrived at scheduled time only to be told there’s at least a 2 hour delay. They never notified us in advance .even though it was known in advance. They made no attempt to accommodate this known change. Really poor treatment of customers

Nice day. Did not have enough golf carts if singles were paired together. Never saw a ranger.

Great course! Beware if you play left to right! I can only remember one hole that goes left to right.

Greens are great, firm and fair. Lots of grain so be prepared to account for it.

Awesome beer specials, won’t break the bank!

Super slow though! I mean, SUPER slow.

Play only if you don’t mind slow pace in afternoon.
Backed up.

Staff was less than nice, acted like they were doing us a favor to let us play. At the turn we were told in a less than polite way that we were 3 minutes behind pace so we really needed to pick it up!! This did not account for the fact that we were sent to the first tee on time but when we got there the group in front of us had not teed off yet.

I’ve played this course numerous times and it is a great, far above average, course layout.
Conditions may vary in the climate but the conditions in recent years has generally been in very good condition.
I would offer that before teeing off we are always told of the 4 hour 20 minute pace of play and to keep up with the group in front of us.
The course and management seldom if ever say ANYTHING to violators. May admittedly be “mature and/or vacationing “ players but it makes for a long day for players who are likely to return and even bring additional players. I’m not suggesting a police state but 5 hour rounds will keep players from returning. I’ve had some of those and have even walked off. I really enjoy the course but my ratings weren’t all higher because of this and factors related to pace of play. Good luck.

Had a great of golf.
It’s a shame the bartender and kitchen staff are bad.

The initial drawback was the range was not open. No warm up cost a few shots on the opening holes. It turned out to be a 5 hour round. Too slow. Club selection is critical. Driver is definitely not to be used on every hole. Course is tight, but playable. The alligator here and there was an interesting touch as well as the scenery. I will play there again.
