1st Experience

One of the staff members was extremely rude. I was at the tee box getting ready to tee of and he comes storming down yelling that I could not play alone and that I needed to be paired with another 3-some.he was disrespectful and agressive. I kept my cool and informed him that I had already spoke to the staff member that checked me in that needed to play alone. I had just received news that I lost a dear friend and I needed to be by myself. Nevertheless I will not be coming back and would most certainly not recommend this course.

Great Course

I have played this course several times in the past 6 months. It has recovered well from the Feb freeze. The greens are in great shape. A few spots here and there but overall great condition The course lay out is challenging with just enough water and sand traps. I will continue to play this course and Highly Recommend it

This course ate my lunch!

Best shape the course has been in since the freeze. Narrow fairways drive me crazy but challenging is good sometimes, right? Love the new golf carts!

fun vacation round of golf

I had fun playing Margaritaville Resort Golf Course. It was fun to see the Range markers that were flip flops and all the tee markers were shark fins remaining true to the Margaritaville branding.

I had some difficulty finding hole #3. It required crossing a roadway and driving up an small unmarked alley way.

The course played really difficult (my handicap is 30 so pretty much all courses are difficult). But this one especially so.

It was hot but there were plenty of water stations throughout the course and the restroom I visited was clean and well maintained.

The only thing negative I have to say about the course was the lack of direction for hole #3.

Good from far, far from good

As you drive into the Margaritaville grounds and see some of the holes, the course looks good. You get on the course and realize it’s a dumpster fire. Sand traps full of water, muddy mower tracks on the course, dead spots on the greens, and a cart path full of uneven concrete segments, mud, and water. I’m pretty sure this course has drainage issues as well as everything is always soggy and slow to dry. Plan to lose some balls if you play here as well since the first cut on most of the course is a jungle.

Expect average conditions on a generally fun track

This facility will continue to need to discount green fees as long as the course condition remain substandard. The driving range is in poor condition with long thick St Augustine turf on the tee. There were also range balls all over tenth fairway. The course itself had several poorly managed ground under repair areas (tenth hole, along cart paths on most holes). There were weeds or bald spots on most greens as well. In general the conditions of the course remain consistent with what I've seen here nearly every time I've played here, infrequently, over the past 30 yrs.

Dont listen to other reviews

This course is not where near the bad reviews its getting. Most of the greens are in great shape. There are a few that have bad spots. But not so bad it bothers your round. Fairways are great. Course is challenging. But fun. Staff is awesome.

Dont allow other reviews to keep you away

I read other reviews and almost didn't play here. Here for vacation. So decided to play regardless of the bogus bad reviews. Fairways are in great shape. And most of the greens are also in great shape. There are a few with some burnt spots. But not bad enough to ruin your day. There are working to replace parts of the cart path. But doesn't interfere with your play. Great course. People there are great. Plan to be back tomorrow.

Wet

The course is in as good as shape as you can expect for all the rain we have received in the area. Hopefully it will dry out and they can mow the super wet areas and tend to the bunkers.
