Underwhelming.

First time here in many years. Disappointed. Tees are generally in bad shape. Fairways about the same and approaches to greens even worse. Greens are quite good. Only particular plus is reasonably priced versus Ft.Lauderdale market.

Chipping is a disaster

Found the greens to be in decent to good condition. Though, around the greens are a disaster. Mostly hard or very sandy. To the point I did not use wedges to chip onto the green and putted instead.

This course is a shambles.

Fairways are terrible; There’s no grass! Everything is brown and dying. Every lie was on the sandy sub-soil, which not only made it hard to hit the ball, but impossible to target a shot. If you hit near the green the ball rolled away because there wasn’t any grass to stop it.

It’s sad, I’m told this use to be a beautiful course, now it’s a mess.

I’m also told they spent a good deal of money on the clubhouse (it looks it), to bad they didn’t spend a few bucks on grass seed.

Great course to play

I invited a friend that never been there before and he really enjoyed it, like I did. Staff was very nice and course was challenging enough but not too hard for intermediate level players
