Great course, mediocre experience

Not a friendly staff. Came with wife and two teen kids and we are all golfers and belong to a nice private club. Staff was best cold and not at all welcoming. Pace was slow. We waited on every hole and didn't see one ranger. At the end, two guys jumped ahead of us and caused further delay.

The course itself is a fantastic layout and in pretty good condition. Wish the people side was better. Play if you get a chance but don't expect anybody to roll out the red carpet.

For $48, a great course

For the most part fairways wide like Florida courses. Greens somewhat flat and fast. Enjoyed it and will play again

Nice afternoon

The course is in very good condition.

The greens are very receptive and roll true with good pace. The hurricane delayed annual ryegrass over seeding but apparently will be done in the next couple weeks. The greens alone make it worthwhile.
