PARKING CHARGE NOW

I've played here over the years and the resort has never charged for parking to the golfers. But since reopening from Covid, they now charge $15 to everyone including golfers so keep that in mind when you go. They also closed the putting and short game practice areas so you can't even warm up. I find it ridiculous when businesses are in need to patronage more than ever from a historic pandemic and you decide to start nickel and diming the few customers you get. There were plenty of parking spaces even before the pandemic. I like the course but not enough to go back.

Great small links

An authentic links course, albeit a very short one. 9 holes, all par 3s. The ocean wind typically makes it a challenge. The layout, greens and bunkers are too notch. Resort pricing is the only downside. So I almost always get a 'hot deal' to ease the pain vs. a more affordable Muni track. Green fees aside, LOVE this course.

Great Round, Nice staff, insane Views!

Greens are very challenging. When they tell you everything breaks towards the clubhouse, Believe Them! Even if it looks like it’s going to break the other way ;-).

Beautiful link course- Par 3 only/9 holes

It’s a beautiful link course with great layout of ocean view. It’s a good exercise for a walking short round. I’d prefer to play 18 hole if it’s available after driving from 30 miles away.

Great course with ocean view

A great 9 hole par 3 course. Good workout for your irons. Distances range from 90+ to 170+ yards. Hilly and picturesque. A fun course, one of my favorites for short game practice.

Excellent yet Challenging Course

My husband and I were staying at the Terranae Resort for my Birthday on 8:/13/19! Which was amazing! Today August 14th we decided to play a round of golf at the Links! Wow it was a very humbling experience for relatively experienced golfers. The grounds were immaculate! The Staff employees there were amazing, professional and extremely helpful! Joe and David were exceptional and made our experience memorable! We will visit again soon!!

Neat little course

Was there for a work conference and shot 2 over.

Great little fun course to just get around on.

Wouldn't travel to play it but if you're in the area or staying at the resort.
