Great value

Excellent staff, service was fabulous. Course is in excellent condition. Greens roll well-a little slower than you may like.

Greats views and value for you money.

Fun course

Always an enjoyable day! Only downside is if you are in a foursome there seems to be a line of twosomes pushing. Can be annoying.

Used to be one of our favorites

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our round as much as in the past. The rates have gone up and the condition of the fairways has gone down. Very dry baked out course. Needs irrigation! Looking forward to improvements next year.

Great staff, but a goat pasture

Course needed water. Greens were slow. Pace of play was horrible. Staff is excellent. Friendly and informative. Have been coming here to play (previously Big Island CC) 12+ years. But the course conditions were like a cow pasture. Will not return.

Well worth the money

Tricky but fair. Excellent greens, course in very good order.

A variety of holes finishing with two card wreckers, unless you like swimming. Play well and you can score well, but do not take the course for granted because it will bite back.

Great Day on the Links

Nice layout. Greens rolled great. Island hole was just like TPC sawgrass. Well worth the money. The only drawback was not much of a clubhouse ans restaurant

Good bones, needs water

The location and layout of this Perry Dye course are amazing. The 17th and 18th holes are particularly memorable but the entire lay-out is first class. The only problem is the dry rock hard conditions of most of the fairways. The greens and tee boxes were OK but the fairways are very sub-standard for a course of this quality

A Beauty!

Just loved the views. Greens were in great shape with tricky undulations. Fairways were were rock hard so the ball rolls forever. Signature hole #17 has an island green. Staff was very friendly. We will play again!

Price

Paid $45 more than my buddies because they had a card and I didn't. Out of customer service, you would think they would make an exception.

Good and bad

Excellent layout with good greens (although very slow), and friendly staff. Tee boxes were bad and fairways only ok. Must play at least once for the views and layout. A little pricey for the course conditions
