Nice tight and short

This is a community golf course. You wind through the development. It's a short course but a little tight. Lots of water and out of bounds. If you don't control your drives you can run up your score rather quickly. Nice course had a good time.

Fivesomes should be banned

Took us 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes!! There was a fivesome of inexperienced women in front of us. Took us 3 hours just to play the front nine. Keep the fivesomes off the course.

First Time Playing

Short, narrow but fun

This was my first time playing this course. I really enjoyed the round, and the water-driving range with floating golf balls. The course itself is fairly short, about 5,600 yards from the blue tees. The front 9 plays through wooded areas and the fairways are narrow. You definitely want to shoot for accuracy over distance. The back 9 had some very scenic holes including a peninsula par 3.

Pace of play wasn’t bad, we waited on a few holes but most of the time we weren’t waiting at all.

Staff was very friendly and the even gave me a course guide book with Pro tips on how to play each hole.

The course is nice but a bit beat up in particular the fairways and rough. Staff was very welcoming and tried to keep up the pace of play. That being said, I would say you need to be prepared for a longer round when you play. Holes being shorter encourage folks to try shots they should not. It's a very playable course from any tee box .
