Lack of Water

The only thing that was great about this round was pace of play was great. The greens are obviously the only thing that is getting much water. Most all tee boxes were lacking water and as a result grass was gone weeds taking over. Fairway were ok but numerous spots were there is no grass only sand, dirt and weeds.

Windy weather
Used cart

This course has great greens.

I played this course 2/times this week both days were very windy. Without a doubt the major feature of this course is the greens, which are in great conditions and extremely fast.

Two puts are the norm and if you get aggressive three puts can happen very quickly.

The only knock against the course is conditions of tee blocks which have a lot of bare spots. I am assuming the time of the year could be a major factor.

All in all it was a couple of very enjoyable days.

Unbearably slow

People giving lessons on the course, no ranger despite people calling pro shop for one, $30 evening rate fair value for course conditions, just dont expect to finish. Used to be one of my favorite courses, it has gone downhill enough to not return for a while

Pace and conditions

Course used to be great, but lately the pace of play, price, and conditions have been suffering. 5 hr round in the middle of the week. Called the pro shop and was told they would send a ranger to speed up groups infront of us but never saw it happen. Course itself looked better right after the hurricanes than it does now. Sad to see because staff is friendly and layout is great but we won’t be back due to conditions and pace of play. Go to the river club or rosedale for around the same price with much better conditions and pace of play.
