Course was in great shape. Friendly staff and of course marsh views. Fairways were wide and bunkers protecting the greens. Would play again if in the area.

Very nice course!

Course was great! Unfortunately, a groundskeeper followed us around the course for most of the day. Just waiting for us to clear the green. Somewhat bothersome. Also, range balls should be complimentary if playing the course.

Terrific Greens

If you’re not putting well on these greens, look in the mirror! Beautifully cut and soft enough to hold.

Desk man wanted to shake me down for an extra $20 to T/off early when big storm was coming in. Poor judgment, bad business.

Doyle1530098, We definitely appreciate your comments- However -We are really disappointed in your perception of this situation.

We take all reviews seriously and continue to train our team members to give the utmost service. With our afternoon tee-times being discounted- asking to be moved to a earlier tee-time would put you in the higher price range - which is about 20 dollar difference. We have to protect our prices as listed. we are sorry you feel like this- but this was not $20 dollar shakedown..

Great Course, needs Rangers

The course was fantastic, greens fast and true. Was my first time playing this course and will definitely be back. The only issue I had was a twosome was playing incrediblely slow, not letting anyone play through and had a minimum 4-5 groups behind them backed up and there were no Rangers out trying to maintain pace of play. Made for a long round.

Excellent course and great value

SSI snowbird,,,I Have always loved this course and now that I no longer belong to BBC I am delighted that GN presents so many

Opportunities to play here at a REASONABLE price.

The staff is welcoming and the pace of play is usually perfect. Played on 4/24 as a twosome in 3 hours,
