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

Great day!
We had a great day playing golf. When we checked in they told us there was no cart service - offered ice and good priced refreshments! Jim - the starter - is fantastic and always makes the game fun!

Stay away on weekends
Great layout, many challenging holes with water and elevation changes.
Beautiful greens. Poor tee boxes and thin fairways.
No one controlling pace of play. A 5+ hour round on a Saturday afternoon. Waiting on every shot. Often 2 groups on the tee.
Have played many times during the week with no problems.
This course has tremendous potential.

Beautiful golf course
Golf at 2500’ was a beautiful cool afternoon. Course is not real manicured, greens are good. 17 and 18 are round killers. Best course for the value on the island. The scenery is what is really special about this course.
