Poor Tee Management

The course itself is nice. The players showed a lack of etiquette and the Marshall did not hold groups to their tee time. I had a 9 am time. On my drive over I received a call to move my tee time to 845 to make a 3 sum as I’m a solo player. No problem at all. The gentlemen I was grouped with did not want another player added and that was apparent by them teeing off early without me. Not only this, but the original group of 3 I was paired with had teed off 30 minutes early. My 845 group let me play through after the second hole. BUT, on hole 4 I caught up to the 9 am group and they would not let me play though. I was behind them the rest of the day and it was impossible to set into a rhythm. The course is nice, but the clubhouse’s lack of control over the tee sheet means I will not be back.

A gem in the marsh.

The course is in excellent shape. The greens have moderate undulations or slopes but are true. If you read the line well, you can make the putt. Be very careful on holes 1-5, the water hazards are real!

The 9's should be flipped

First few holes are absolutely bonkers, other than having to navigate those right out of the gates, the layout is interesting / conditions are good.

a-mazing

Beautiful and challenging course. First time ever playing it and enjoyed it! And I’m not the best golfer and still had a blast. I’d recommend this course to anyone. It’s a great time and causes you to challenge yourself! 10/10

Absolutely brutal day that was out of character

I have played this course a dozen times if I played it once yesterday, the schedule looked like a great day to play

Turns out my partner and I are playing in a twosome took over 4 1/2 hours to play because the course allowed a fivesome of under skilled golfers to play in front of us from the tips

This group of golfers would not let us play through, and when the Marshall was informed, he said there wasn’t anything he could do about it

It was an epic disaster and ruined. What could’ve been a fine day of golf. I was so frustrated. I stopped playing after 16 holes, even though my partner did finish.

It’ll be a long time before I go back if at all
