I Recommend This Course
Gotta play it
We had a beautiful day for Golf and the course was perfect. The layout is picturesque, challenging holes, and elevated greens requires some thought to proper club selection. Multiple tee boxes and combos give you a wide choice to meet your game. The Pro gave us some very good tips prior to play.
Will return for sure.

Nice track
Had been to Raptor Bay many times, which I really liked.
This place is totally different but every bit as good and actually nicer and a fresh new design.
Great day but going to be very pricy in season. Probably won’t be back till next May when the price drops.

Great layout. Not too long. However the fairway grounds were hard and my clubs could not bite the divot and kept bouncing off. The greens were fast paced. CV ourse layout was interesting. It was a relatively easy course.
