Nice course worth playing

I had a great experience playing here. Nice long course with wide fairways. The condition was well and the staff was friendly.

No Discount for Repaired Greens

$57 for a rec course with aerated greens is just plain robbery. Especially when there was no indication that they were... I would go back if greens and price was better

Aerated and sanded greens

Played today with a Golfnow Deal Time for $50 walking. I was able to use some promo codes to reduce the rate.

I wish I would have known that they were aerating half of the greens. Fairways had decent coverage, but lots of unrepaired divots. Lots of unrepaired ball marks on the green also (not the courses fault). There is a sign at check in stating not to check in until 15 minutes prior to your time. We waited over 15 minutes for a guy who checked in 40 minutes early and was complaining that he was overcharged. The sign also states single riders only, even if you're from the same household, but I saw many dual rider carts. The course is not following their own rules. $50 to walk is too much for this course, in the present condition.

Pleasantly surprised

The T time was late but the staff made it up by giving us free range balls without me asking. Good job. I was surprised how good the fairways were given the heat wave. On top of that the greens were very receptive and it was 95 degrees when we played. Despite the heat the course was in Great condition!!

Like the course layout!

Especially when it's hot this course is the best place to play as it's close to the beach.
