Needs work to stay relevant

The course was very underdone for somewhere they ask for $100 per round - at least 6 bunkers were empty and "GUR" and there were drainage issues on o2 or 3 wholes which left the front of the greens a mud pit. Needs some work

It has been a while since I have played this course and was shocked at the poor standard of the course. The fairways were in tremendous order but the rest of the course the clubhouse the buggies everything else was extremely disappointing. For $100 I will not be going back to this course. Bunkers were terrible half of them are gur. It’s almost criminal to charge this price for second rate facilities. It was Sunday afternoon we couldn’t even get a beer on tap after play. If Clive is going to close this course then just do it, put it out of its misery.

Don't Play Until the Greens Have Been Finished

Played here on the weekend and was unaware that all the greens were under maintenance.

The greens were unplayable and there should have been a significant discount to play.

The course is very run down and neglected which is very sad.

I would not play here again unfortunately.

A shame to see such a great course in dlsuch disrepair.

I was a member of the Coloniql for a few years over a decade ago - it was maintained to a meticulous standard back in those days before it changed hands. It's incredibly disappointing to see the course in such a state - large clumps of weeds on the fairways, lines of clippings also left on the fairways, a third of the bunkers in repair or in poor condition.

The day we played the greens had also been cored the week before but there wasn't any notification about that when I booked and the course was still charging full price. The staff were all friendly and I doubt they have any contop over the matter but it's so disappointing to see this course in the state that it's currently in.

Course in bad condition

Course overall in a really poor condition. Tee boxes full of weeds. Greens were poor. Rough of the fairways extremely long. Every bunker was like hitting off hard clay.

For $100 a round you’d expect so much better. Maybe they should get some tips from the green keepers at the glades. That’s where I’ll be spending $100 on my next round.

Course is in a sad state

What was once a great course is now a run-down, overpriced, poor excuse for a championship course. $99 for a round is robbery, the place is a joke. Literally every other course on the coast is in better condition and is better value for money. This place needs new management, ownership and a serious cash injection to get back to somewhere near where it was 10 years ago.

Course was in terrible condition, fairways OK bunkers unplayable and to top things off, there was no mention on website greens just been cored. Strongly don't recommend, you can play better Courses for less money.

Good course but affected by Floods

Really enjoy playing this course, but as the staff said this was only second day open after the floods, so the course wasnt in great shape. The layout is great and has some challenging holes, but will be in a better shape once the sun is on it for a weeks.
