Challenging

Don’t be deceived, this Par 3 is challenging and the greens play at a 15!!! It’s like putting on glass, really challenges your game!!!

Super disappointed, set a tee time for Sunday at 11am, knew I wanted to run the course twice, noticed online there was a half off re-run fee so I called the reservation asked if I needed to book another tee time, “no just come back to ask to run again, there should be no issue everyone does it” I then asked them if they were sure because I wanted to secure the spot, “yes you’ll be fine” so Sunday comes drove over 1.5 hrs went through the first 9 holes and when I asked to run again they started “sorry all tee times are booked” I told them I spot with reservations, response “well you should have asked to talked to us (the golf shop)” ......

Beautiful but...

Such a beautiful course but I find it dumb that they charge $15 for parking. Literally nobody is there. Played Trump National a few times which is down the street and they don’t charge.

First course I’ve been to that charged for parking.

Beautiful beside the Pacific.

A beautiful and challenging 9 hole course. The Pacific Ocean as a backdrop makes this even better.

Great Condition. Well kept greens

Overall a great experience for me.

Played here after playing Trump National in the early morning(long drive for me so mind as well play both) So the 1pm hotdeal was priced right. Played on a Monday. No one in front of me and no one behind me pretty much the whole time so I occasionally played two balls. Conditions were great from tee to green. Cool little 9 hole par 3 course to relax and enjoy the sunshine with ocean views!

Misguided

I purchased this course on golf now ( I’m fairly new to it) but it was not clear the fees were for 9 holes and walking only. I wasn’t able to cancel because it was within the 24 hours. I went to the course and asked for a credit and explained what happened. They were extremely rude and basically told me to F off. There’s too many nice and professional golf courses out there to give this place your business.
