Great course

I know it’s been dry in Florida all summer, but his course was in pretty good shape. The holes were fun and interesting. Well manicured greens were great. Will definitely be back to golf again.

Brad

Each person in our foursome commented on how much they liked the golf course. Fun design with memorable holes. Tree lined fairways but with generous landing areas. Well conditioned greens, fairways and tee boxes.

Very good practice facilities.

We drove 45 minutes from Rosemary Beach and we are glad we did.

Nice experience

Very nice old style parkland course. Most holes are heavily tree lined, left and right . Some quirky dog legs that can be played better with a little more course knowledge. In excellent condition with really nice people. More than I normally spend for a round but so are all of the clubs in the area. Overall, our foursome had a great time.

Nice greens...nothing special

The notable good: Greens smooth and rolled well...seemed like 11+ on stimpmeter.

The bad: pace of play was awful. There were no course rangers to help keep groups moving. My partner and I decided to quit after 13 holes - we were on pace for 5.5+ hour round.

The course was in good shape but layout was not particularly intriguing...not what one expects when non discounted green fees are approx $160.

Great Course

The course was awesome. It was challenging but fair. I think I used every club in my bag. Greens were fast and in great shape. Lots of sand which I’m not used to! I can’t wait to play it again.

Fun Course

Course was in good condition and was fun to play. We only played nine, but it was great. The worker who came and took our card in the end was absolutely great. He cleaned our clubs with the covers on and put it in the car. Very friendly and informative. Will be back at this course soon.
