Club rental issues

Unfortunately the course was very saturated with water and was cart path only when we played it but my main issue is that their website shows the club rental fee to be $65 per set. We were charged $90 each. We made the cashier aware that their site price was $65 but she would not honor that price. At this point we didn’t have any option but to pay the extortionate rate. I will say the Luis the starter was a great guy, they could use more employees like him.

Good Course that is Fun to Play

Got a great rate from GolfNow so we thought the course was worth it. The course was very wet so the playing conditions were far from perfect. The layout is pretty good with plenty of in play water hazards and bunkers. Overall we were very pleased with the course.

Rain and wet!!

Weather showed no rain in the forecast, but rained the entire time and nothing but standings water. Couldn’t hit any shots and made it not very fun. Hopefully we get our money back.

Pleasant Suprise

After looking at other reviews did not know what to expect. Used golf now app and my discount felt it was a good value compared to other courses around. Teed it up and had only one single who played thru. After that did not see anyone course was ours alone.

Rain Forrest golf

River Course layout is nice . As a intermediate golfer , 219 handicap , I found it very fair for my skillset beautiful green scenery with coconut trees everywhere . Because of the prior days rain . The course was a little slushy outside the fairways .. the greens were slow because of being sanded , due to rain .. they had 2 cart girls traveling the course with refreshments .make sure to indulge , because you do not pass by the clubhouse on the back 9. We booked through golf now app paid $148 w/ cart plus $75 club rentals (pings)..we played on a Monday 11am t teem . As a 2some We got on early 10:15 not many people on the course. Wich made for no rush pace of play . Would recommend ,if you could get a good deal .they also have an ocean course not sure how much $. Hope to play that next time in Puerto Rico .

Great Course Layout but....

I will return but hope that as time goes along they invest more money on agronomy to improve the quality of the grass and trim, as well as improve drainage. Much of the course was damp, but being near a rain forest there might not be much they can do on that front. Eventhough the course was not in primo condition, it was fun and there were some nice views to be had.

The course is in good shape, but the pace of play is slow. Waited on every hole.

Course was well laid out and nicely maintained, VERY wet mostly due to rain but from what the maintenance crew said it is typically wet due to the proximity to the rainforest.

Looking forward to playing again!

Nice course

Fun course! I come from Los Angeles where I play most of the public courses. I’d say this place is slightly above the average LA municipal. Fairways were nice. A little damp. Greens were very slow and not in great shape.

Very wet

The people were great. Not sure how it usually is, but the course was really too wet to play. Cat paths only, very muddy.

Other than that it was fine.

Poor course condition

Overpriced golf course in poor condition. We planned to play both the river course and ocean course back to back but due to the river course being in poor condition, decided against spending another $280 (Friday morning/afternoon with rentals) to play the ocean course. Maybe the ocean course is nicer but we couldn't justify spending that amount of money for a golf course worth $40 in the states. The river course has a few scenic holes with mountains in the background but other than that, I can’t really remember any details of the actual course design. Some tee boxes were questionable, fairways contained crabgrass and were WET, greens had a ton of sand.
