Greens need work

The course needs work; cart paths need work. For the price you pay (117.00 for 2 with tax) the course should be in better condition.

Outstanding improvements

The course was in 100% better shape than the last time I played there.

Driving range and putting green were great additions.

Not Great, Not Terrible

Only course reasonably close to Mexico Beach / Port St. Joe / Apalachicola - $50 for 18 holes. Overall layout was enjoyable, I can tell in its peak conditions this is a really fun course to play. Challenging but relatively easy to score. Carts were soaked for the 8:30 tee time, had to wipe down top to bottom. The course’s fairways have been verticut start to finish and the green’s are newly punched and are dangerously slow, I’m talking stopping downhill slow. Bunkers were well kept. Again, in peak conditions or even above average conditions I’d say this is a great track for anybody to come and enjoy. Tight fairways, fun layout. Gets a 3/5 from me for current conditions, again you’re paying $50 for coastal golf you can’t complain too much.

Beautiful Course

The course was in immaculate condition. The greens rolled true, the fairways and rough (spent a lot of time there) were well cut. Looking forward to playing it again on our next visit to Cape San Blas.

Just Ok

The course itself was fine, some construction. The main issue was the rental clubs. I was traveling and didn’t have my clubs with me, so I rented some so I could play. I’m not sure exactly what I was charged for the rental clubs but I believe the price was around $50. I wouldn’t have paid that much to keep the clubs had they been listed on Facebook marketplace. The newest club in the bag was probably from about 2018 and just absolutely beat into the ground. For other club rentals I have gotten before for around the same price you get something fairly new, so it was a little disappointing in that aspect. I still enjoyed playing the course but if I were to do it again I would want it to be with my own clubs. All of the staff was very friendly.

Good value for the money

Fun little course and pace of play was sub 4 hours for 18. Even behind 3 foursomes. Offered to let me play through but I wasn’t in a rush. If I had taken them up on the offer, I could have played 18 in 3 hours. Three greens were under repair with temporary greens in front. Still worth it for the price.

Definitely need to play

All the reviews I saw said "slow greens". They were right! Loved the layout of this course, with some doglegs and water in play on different holes. Fairways were wide enough for some errant shots but if you went to far, forget about looking for your ball. Would definitely play again.

Only game in town

It’s a tighter course than a lot of other courses that I’ve played in Florida. Several greens (around 4) are under repair so the cup is in the fairway in front of the green. However, most of the other greens need repair also and have dirt pits all over them. Greens fees and a cart shouldn’t be more than $40 for this level of course.

Good for a round if your close by.

Not a bad place to place if your in the port st joe or cap San blas area. Very close drive.

They do have some greens under repair and have moved the holes out into the fairway which was odd but just to get a round in for fun it was fine.
