$287.00 to play a par 3 course is too much! Will play Trump National next time! Only played as my son had limited time to play!

What a beautiful spot

Some of the best views I've ever played!! Every hole has a different panoramic view. Every hole plays different. Great course, really enjoyed the walk. All around wonderful time. Worth checking out.

Amazing little course - the views are spectacular!

This is a fun and challenging nine hole course- with most holes having a full or partial ocean view. I highly recommend the course to anyone swinging by! The hotel has a restaurant that has an amazing view. The only negative is the parking - it’s valet ( no charge) but plan on extra time to park and shuttle over and the return back to your car ( I realize it was Easter so it was packed)

If you plan - it will be an amazing day !

Sunday sunset

I played yesterday and got out before the crowds showed up. It was a perfect socal day. Got the discounted rate on golf now which was nearly half the price. It’s a great course but not at rack rate. Keep an eye out for the golf now special.

Expensive, beautiful and mighty little course

Course conditions are amazing for winter golf on the cliff side. But this course is TINY. 9 holes all par 3s, done in 70 min.

Beautiful location, challenging layout but Overpriced for what you’re getting. $50 is the MAX you should pay for something like this (unless you’re in it for the views/ here to splurge on a date, etc.)
