Pristine confitions
This course is kept in pristine condition. Beautiful fairways and greens. Some challenging holes especially #2 if you’re a high handicap short off the tee like I am. Very friendly staff. Attentive cart girl. Only criticism is lack of direction to next hole. Very pretty course, you see very few homes. Even better than Shell Point only because it’s more scenic.

A little pricey but you get what you pay for. Excellent facility with the best course conditions I’ve played this winter on a public course. Staff is very friendly and the lunch in the bar area was excellent. Highly recommend playing here.

Very nice course and in good condition. Green fees around $200 for 2pm in season. Good mix of shorter par 4 and some very lengthy par 4.
Overall very good.
