Margaritaville has seen better days

Course needs some TLC but any day on the course is better than no day. Overcast and cool, we had fun despite weedy fairways and thin greens.

Nice layout but infrastructure is poor

Pluses: Fairways, Tee Boxes and layout are very good. Greens and cart paths are TERRIBLE. Not sure what the problem is with the greens but there were only maybe 3 that were what you would call "good". The rest are sand/dead or dying grass/dirt. Some are almost all dirt. Can't chip to them, can't get a straight putt - just bad. I had heard a lot of good things about the course but other than "looking pretty" there's nothing there I would want to go back for.

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!

Meh.

Good layout and in general liked the course. Fairways seemed well cared for. The greens and bunkers on the holes near the clubhouse were good, but the other 14 or so reminded me of a muni course... but not a great one. Large bare spots on many of the greens and if you hit in the bunker you better just kick out since they’re unplayable. It did rain hard last weekend but the bunkers look like they haven’t been tended to in some time. Considering the ones near the clubhouse looked way better I’d say it’s an issue of the others being neglected. Also not once was I offered a pina colada. Would play again on a hot deal but no chance at full price.

Greens

I know alot of courses are recovering from the results of the freeze. Here is no difference. Most greens are in pretty bad shape. Which is ok if you would let the public know ahead of time. Hate to pay full price for a course with 90% of its greens mostly sand

Greens are Worse I have ever seen

To start let me say that I love the course layout. I have now played this course 3 times over the past 2 months. The Greens are terrible. The worse I have ever seen. They seem to be getting worse as the weather gets warmer. I love the location and will play here again. But for now the greens are just unputtable. It is a good place to practice your game and then just take 2 putts and move to the next hole

Greens are Trash

Title says it all. Greens are trash, most don’t even have grass growing on. Multiple holes have no grass at all.

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!
