Worth It To Play
I enjoyed my round here. Was less manicured than the resort courses which gave me a local feel which I really enjoyed. Greens were fast and true. Lost a couple balls after hitting.good shots due to no buffer between fairway and thick vegitation. That's perhaps my only complaint. Enjoyed the periodic cool breezes on a warm day too.

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.

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.

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.
