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.

Great course... at a steep price.

While this isn’t the most expensive 9 holes one could play, it’s definitely close. The course conditions are perfect. Not a single square foot of unkept ground. Creative greens are framed by beautifully laid out bunkers and very playable rough. What they say is true, all the greens break towards the starter window, even if it looks like it doesn’t.

However, at $60ish green fee PLUS a $15 parking fee which they don’t tell you about on Golfnow, you might have a better time playing 18 holes somewhere else.

Bottom line is if you’re looking for a 9 hole link that you’ll definitely have a great time playing and money isn’t a matter, then definitely play this course!

Short Game Only

The best parts about this course are the location and ocean views you get to enjoy while playing. You only need 2-3 clubs and a putter to finish. Definitely not a driver or wood needed. If you want to relax while working on your short game, this is a decent course to do so.

Great way to spend a day BUT...

Great course to play if you're looking to have some good easy fun. My only gripe is the pull cart ($10), and parking ($15) should have been include or at a discounted price. We ended eating at the resort, dropping another $300 bucks... so why penny pitch with the smallest amenities? I'd definitely go back if they offered me a promo code.

Gorgeous and fun

Great course in a beautiful setting. The only setback was that it was a little backed up, but everything else made up for it. The course is in wonderful shape and you really get your money's worth.

Par 3 course

Course condition good. Just a small 9 hole course all about 100 yards. Very boring if it weren’t for the good view of the location.
