White sands

Great course. Lots of fun. The greens were a little fluffy but Other then that it is a great par 3 course. I would recommend this course.

Not a bad course but

Liked the course and they maintain it well except the grounds are far too wet and soft. Our shoes and socks were soaked and it has not rained all week. Will try again this summer

An interesting Par 3 course

This Par 3 course provides a good challenge for the short game. I found the greens were in very good shape. Definitely a nice course to practice the short game.

Too many large groups

Course needs to stop booking fivesomes and sixsomes because it slows play for others.
