Poor Condition

An outstanding course that was not ready for play due to routine maintenance…course was not groomed anywhere, still needs 7-10 days to be truly playable.

Don't play in the next 2 weeks

Course is cart path only for the next 2 weeks which isn't the issue. If your booking an afternoon tee time the sprinklers hit the cart path soaking you cart and equipment. Then you get on the tee boxes and the sprinklers also are on most tee boxes. The Course say they have signs warning about the sprinklers once your on site and golfing too late to avoid getting drenched.

Poor management

They told us that they were 20 minutes behind on the tee time yet they sent out a twosome and then a single before our time. Play was very slow and clubhouse was closed when we finished. Not the first time but will be the last as the cost is too high for this type of service

Nice option but out in the boonies.

Very likable course but they need to move it to a more convenient location— it’s not very close to me.

Nicest Course in Area (But staff can be temperamental)

Excellent day! Course is in great shape. However, pace of play is slow, and you will likely be waiting for the group in front of you on every single hole. If you want to play a good course, and this is not a big deal to you waiting a lot, then this might be a good choice for a round. They do have a free range with the purchase of a round.

Great conditions even after Hurricane

Golfed 18 with out of town guests…pleasantly surprised on the condition of the course considering it has been hit with two back to back hurricanes. Still needs a small amount of cleanup, but overall a great day of golf!

I never tire of this course.

I've played here hundreds of times since it opened in 1993 and it is always demanding. A simple change of tee box creates an entirely different set of challenges. Make sure to bring a dozen balls if you are not a single-digit handicap.

early closing

When we finished our round I went to go into the restaurant to use the bathroom, everything was locked and the only bathrooms available were the ones on the course. I feel the pro-shop should remain open until all golfers are done. They also carry no red bull, mellow yellow or mtn dew. No energy drinks at all.
