Great public course

Not high on amenities - range or clubhouse. But the course is in great shape, greens were excellent. We will revisit - may be the best value at the beach.

Nice, well maintained course. Bring bug spray

After booking tee time and waiting to check in, was told we may not be able to get you out. They did anyway. Slow pace in front of us and even though there was a Marshall, nothing was said turning the round into about five hours. Beautiful course and were working on it while we played. It was pretty packed with golfers but things all worked out and was a good day. Wanted to get food after in the clubhouse. Waited for about fifteen minutes and no service. May have been just an off day.

Great course. Not difficult!

Fun for everyone. The layout is very friendly with many holes parallel to another. Greens were slow compared to many courses near by, but in great shape. Overall I’ll be back again.

We will be back.

Played course on a windy day. Rough was brutal largely because it has been too wet to mow lately. That should change soon. Really appreciated the new cart path. The old one was long overdue for a replacement.

Great time

First time playing here and they were replacing the cart path. But it did not interfere with my round at all. Great conditions for the time of year.
