Fabulous in every way

Loved this course. This landscaping is gorgeous, plenty of wildlife, fresh mountain air w sea views, some challenging holes and some easier ones. Very helpful staff. What’s not to love? Can’t wait to play here again.

Good value for the island

POP was excellent, we got around in well under 4 hours and that was after our 2some merged with 2 other singles.

Amenities are very minimal but the course played very well.

Nice track, great views, and friendly staff

Played here multiple times on this trip. Used every club in my bag. Course is in great shape and when played from the proper tees is a lot of fun. 5 sets of tees allows you to choose the right one for you. Wife and I both enjoy playing here. Great value.

Used every club in the bag

First time playing this course. Five sets of tees so we could play appropriate yardage. Wife and I both had playable yardage. Course was in overall very good condition, especially the greens. Views were great also. We will definitely play again during this vacation. Everyone we interacted with was very friendly, from the pro shop to the starter to the maintenance staff.

Amazing Course

What a wonderful day. The course layout is great and in great shape. Animals everywhere and the views are amazing. We played several ocean courses during our stay and this blew them away. We will be back. Special shout out to the starter who was so great and helpful. No cart persons or restaurant, but drinks and snacks available.

Nice challenging course in very good condition. Would have been nice if they had GPS or better yard markings on the course. (They had some yard monuments in the fairway but were difficult to find.
