Phenomenal
Came down to visit my parents and play at the villages, couldn’t get in there to play, which turned out to be a blessing in surprise. Came here instead and was pleasantly surprised. From the ease of getting a good tee time to the very nice starter personnel to the friendly residents offering their assistance it was top notch from start to finish. Don’t pair my wife and I up with randoms. You can for the most part drive anywhere on the course unless indicated. Nice elevation changes and good greens. Will 100% come back next visit.

Nice course
Nice course, friendly staff. The hurricane was a blessing in disguise; it forced the course to clear out a lot of debris. I’ve never seen the course so tidy. Losing some trees helped as well.
