First time

It was my first time playing here since the hurricane. Overall the course was in good shape except for a few fairways. The greens are actually in good shape but needed to be mowed. Very slow..

Would play again

This is a very nice course. It was damaged by a hurricane a few months prior so it wasn't in the best shape, but there x were people everywhere working to put it back in shape. I played with 2 female members who were very nice. I would love to go back and play thus course again when it totally recovers from the hurricane damage.

Oh when, oh when? Please be merciful and end the ban on carts on the very well manicured and cured fairways!

The Wilderness

First time playing this wonderful course, not disappointed at all. Still working through some storm damage and facilities upgrades but will be worth it in the long run. It will be my new home course for many years to come, couldn’t be happier to grow my game at this location.

Great for the price!

Absolutely beautiful course for this area… some of the greens are still torn up from past hurricane. Cart path only on a hard course with wind and with bad knees wasn’t any fun but still had fun.

Can’t wait to play again

Cart path only trying… still trying to let some areas recover from Beryl.

Back 9 was being aerated so had to play the front 9 twice.

High school players were there practicing for an upcoming tournament.

Course was in good condition though and the greens were the best I’ve played on in a long time.

Looking forward to playing again when restrictions are lifted.

Solid course

Wilderness is worth every penny during twilight. 38 bucks a person. Pace of play was perfect and we had a twosome and finished 18 starting at 3:40pm. Only gripe is cart path only. Course has zero wet spots, and i can understand wanting to let the course recover, but 90° would be more than sufficient. Other than that everything is great. Shot 74 yesterday, so theres some good scores to be had. Greens rolling smooth

Nice layout, still recovering from Beryl

Lost alot of trees in the hurricane and fairways still recovering from flooding in low spots. Nice layout and greens are undulating and in pretty good shape! Hope they keep after it! Worth saving!!!!

A Hidden Jewel

I play twice a week, and like to move it around to regular and new courses.

The Wilderness was one of my PERFECT rounds.

I played with my best friends, on a spectacular day, the course was challenging but scoreable, greens rolled true and fast, fairways were lush, and the hosts were warm and friendly.

To quote the Terminator, "I'LL BE BACK!"
