Course in good shape

The course was in good shape. Greens were in good shape and consistant in speed. Played in 4.5 hours but for a Saturday afternoon I would say that is acceptable. A few large trees still down from the hurricane but not a hinderance and somewhat expected since this is a county run golf course. I am sure the county is still busy cleaning within their teritory.

New to the area

We played this course for the first time on January 30. We were only able to complete nine holes as it took 3 hours to play the front! They clearly did not enforce the pace of play rules that are posted by the first tee box.

Our second round was much better. Staff were all friendly that day and we played 18 in just over four hours. This course is a very good value, in good shape as long as you stay on the fairways, there is still a lot of evidence of the hurricane damage done but also efforts to cleanup and repair were obvious.
