Great Conditions

Booked Sunday morning round as a twosome and were paired with two others. Course was packed as conditions were excellent and weather was perfect. Pace of play was poor but everything else was great. Staff members Steve (inside/register), Tim (starter), plus Brian & Johnny (carts) were all welcoming and accommodating. Looking forward to playing this very nice and challenging course again soon.

Nice course

Greens in great shape fairways in good condition for after major hurricane. Not many people there had just reopened didn’t know the layout and kinda got lost on where holes were. Often you can see 2 greens not knowing which one to go after No GPS on carts or layout on scorecard. Overall a nice place to play once in a while.

IMG was in great condition. The greens were wonderful. With a little lift your ball stuck on the green. Putting was fast but fair.

First Time Playing

I selected to play on the course as a one player.this was due to my lack of golf during the year and due to dip in my confidence levels.having only played five times this year due to certain circumstances

However I was put out in a threesome which didn’t help my confidence or play or me mentally and the other two players were in the same cart. Due to this I quit the game after six holes. As I didn’t want to spoil the game for the other players.
