First round of year

Great experience! Booked last minute and got paired up with some local guys that were a lot of fun to play with. Staff was super friendly! Course was in decent shape but could use some water. Great layout that was both fun and challenging. Great place for a first round after a long winter.

Waiting for an Airplane to Arrive

I played this course with an older husband and wife and a middle age relative. They were all very nice and it was a good afternoon. If I had played better that would have made it even better. The course is good fairways ok but the greens were rolling well. The price was good and i would recommend this course. Onre suggestion would be to bring back cups where you get water at the starters area. Everyone does not remember to bring theiir own bottle.

Nice Course

Colony West had a nice layout and the conditions were ok given that we are still in winter. Unfortunately, the play was slow.

Dry Course

We enjoyed our round of golf but found the course to be very dry. Fairways and rough areas had patches of no grass making it hard to decide the type of club mostly due to the turf. Course had some challenging holes with dog legs and strategically placed water. Parking is not great but that will be a future challenge when the hotel opens up.

Greens are in excellent shape

Fairways dry and ground hard at times due to a lack of watering. Everyone friendly and courteous.
