Layout is good

Would not go back or recommend it. Course seemed very neglected. Sad to see. Empty pro shop is never a good sign

Good Value For The Money

Most courses in the Fort Walden area are priced significantly higher than the Fort Walden Beach courses, so my wife and I booked the Pines course. While the fairways are wide, they only had a sparse amount of grass over the subsoil with the result that they produced tight lies. As higher handicappers accustomed to more lush fairways, we found them challenging. The greens were acceptable, although several had some patchy areas that needed repair. We found the pace of play very good as there was a Marshall constantly roaming around to ensure that no group was lagging behind. The staff was very friendly, and the check-in process was very well done. Although we didn't use it, the course offers a full bar and dining facility. We would play this course again.

The course was ok but very yellow, fairways not on their best.

Our golf cart stopped suddenly between hole 11 and twelve without any warning, they are a little bit worn. Lukely they came fast to bring us another one, otherwise we would have lost our pace!!!

Wide fairways, grass dormant this time of year.

Greens a little slow.

Poor Policy

A group of 5 was allowed to tee off before our foursome. Our usual 4 hour round took over 5 hours. No ranger in sight.
