While the golf course is still open for play, we are aware that current conditions are not ideal and this is due to a variety of reasons, including our mid-February historically low temperatures. What we are experiencing is not an isolated situation, and many golf courses throughout Texas are seeing the same challenges in recovering their course conditions.

The resort has an aggressive fertilization and maintenance plan in place to assist in restoring the golf course, in particular the greens, to a much better playing condition. We are optimistic that once temperatures reach a consistent low of 70 degrees, our efforts will take root and our course will once again become an ideal place to play and provide the perfect Margaritaville golf experience that you truly deserve.

Our team appreciates your patience during this time, and looks forward to seeing you here often in the future... and to sunnier days ahead!

The course needs some work.

This course needs to be shut down for more than a month to let the greens heal. I would even suggest make some temporary greens in the fairway in front of the greens to give them time to heal. I have never seen greens in this bad of shape, I played here last summer and could tell something was wrong. There isn’t any grass on some greens just some black scabbing. I hope they figure it out, the lay out has the makings of a good track.

No excuse

Literally the worst greens I’ve ever played. I’ve played city courses, college campus courses, etc. the greens here were the type f “grass” the advertise on tv to grow on concrete. Well, this was on top of dirt, and apparently grass like this doesn’t grow on dirt. This place is depressing. It’s like a ghost town of what used to be. Lots of empty houses and things around. Seriously, this place is dying, and needs some help.

TLC

This could be a very nice course if the greens had some TLC. The greens were the worst I've played in 5 years. We were literally putting on curled dried mud on 70% of the greens. The other 30% was weeds. I played this course about 10 years ago and it was outstanding, not sure what happened. The staff was very nice, wish management can do something about the greens.

Bad greens

Well, for a $50 track I expected the greens to be in good condition. Most of the greens were in terrible condition! I never played such bad greens, some of the greens had dirty/mud and tons fungus growing everywhere. Very uneven for sure. Can't roll a put!

The fairways were in good condition. This should be more like a $25 track. Very disappointed for sure!

Not worth your money in current condition

Really all you need to know is the greens are horrendous. They are completely gone. Parts are like putting on a table top and parts are so covered in crab grass you can’t possibly obtain an accurate score. Nobody should pay to play this course in its current condition.I wasted my money and time.

The course is not what it used to be at all.

Such a shame.

Winter issues

I like the layout of the course. The winter we had has killed the greens and putting is more just hope you get close than being able to read and putt. The fairways on some holes have not come back from the winter. Its a good layout but for the cost it's best to play at twilight where its a lot less expensive.

Heart Broken

Seeing the condition of these greens breaks your heart. This course has so much potential.

Let’s face it. When you have to putt on bad greens the game just isnt the same. Hopefully they get this resolved because I love this layout.

Needs Improvement

Worst greens I’ve played on in my 20 years of golfing. Fairways aren’t much of fairways and bunkers need work. Have seen 15$ courses in better condition. With all that being said the layout is nice and has great holes. Wont play again unless they make the greens playable and improve fairways/bunkers. Hope they do course has a lot of potential.

Great Layout. Greens not Good

Course is layed out very nice. My issue is that most of the greens are in very poor condition. Greens keeper told me once the morning temperature gets hotter the spotty grass will disappear. I will most definitely play this course again. Just taking 2 putts on most greens for now.

Winter Conditions

Only my second time playing this year. Course overall is waiting for spring. Greens very spotty and in some cases heavily rolled to a point where the grass was almost clayish. Greens staff told me a lot of poyana grass that will disappear as the morning temps rise. I had an early tee time and the sand traps were a mess. As the day went on they began raking them. Overall I like the course and will definitely play again

Play Somewhere Else

Spray painted dirt greens, sand traps full of water, crabgrass, etc. The layout is also quite straight forward and not very unique. Not one hole on the water and it is a lake resort course. I can’t believe they are charging $60 to play here. I won’t be back. Margaritaville needs to close this place and put some money into it.
