Impeccable course. You definitely won't regret playing!

Probably the best course I've ever played!

I honestly felt like a king due to the service from the staff. I didn't get a chance to use the off-course amenities but they looked pretty high end as well.

Very nice overall

Read on to see the reviews on the conditions. They are pretty consistent on how nice and playable the course is. The waste bunkers are pretty cool, but will kill your clubs. They are hard as concrete with rocks. No bunkers around the greens. The greens are rolled for a good pace and roll true. A lot of undulation and false fronts. I’m a single digit handicap and cannot post the score with their rating and slope. It is so far off of how the course plays. It needs to be adjusted to a more difficult rating and slope. Staff is all friendly and knowledgeable. Once the hotels are complete, I feel it will be priced too high to play.

Good value for a hot deal price

Pace

Of play was outstanding. Never waited for a shot the whole round and no one behinds us for a whole hole. 4 hour round on a challenging track was great

Got on through a hot deal so wasn’t too too pricey for in upscale course but come Jan in season this will be out of my price range

Would play again if can get at a reasonable price

Great conditions but some bad hole layouts

Great course conditions and good layout, but a few really bad holes (hole 4) . Some very narrow holes with no landing area and very penal for otherwise good shots. If you go off the fairway, palmetto bushes are unplayable. Interesting layout, but on a few holes good shots are punished because of hole designs

Wow

Played a few years ago when it was raptor bay and wow they did an amazing job with the course. New layout and it’s amazing. Greens were hard and fast. Fairways and tees were A+. I played from the back tees and boy it plays tough from 7100. Absolutely worth the money. Will be back

Back 9 is great

Interesting flat course with no bunkers only waste areas. Slope rating seems a bit under rated.

Wide fairways with little real trouble.

Beautiful scenery along fairways and greens. Starter was especially helpful.
