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.

Sehr gute Grüns
Wir spielten den Golfplatz seit dem Umbau zum 2. mal. Wir sind begeistert. Vor allen Dingen gefielen uns die schnellen, treuen Grüns. Eine Drivingrange würde uns besser gefallen statt ein Netz.

Beautiful course that's very playable
We found this course to very fun to play. While there are a few tight holes, the landing areas are generous so you are not sweating losing balls on every drive. The greens were in very good shape. They looked a little brown (maybe dormant) but they putted very well and the green speed was good. All the bunkers on the course are waste bunkers where you can ground your club. I was in a few and had no issues getting out of them. Very playable. Also, this course has these unique grass sided waste area bunker walls. Pretty cool! Definitely will be playing this course again!

Slowest round I have ever played
At times we had four groups at a tee box. Other than the slow play I didn’t have any complaints. It’s just impossible for me to enjoy a round that takes over 5 hours.
