Greens are terrible

Greens had more sand and weeds then grass. Fairways no grass to hit off of. Do not play for at least a month.

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!

Complete Rip Off - terrible condition

$60? You have to be kidding. Half the greens were painted dirt. The others have crabgrass all over them. Sand traps were just holding on lace for water (and we haven’t had much rain). Will not be back to play until they close this course and spend some money. Even then, the layout is boring. Look somewhere else to play golf.

Good solid Golf Course

Winterstorm Uri wreaked havoc on the course. There were some.places that snow damaged the turf but to be honest there are some areas that need a bit more that TLC. Greens are.decent for.the time of year and once Covid backs off I think bunkers will be back in play. The course needs some better temperatures and some ground work to restore it to its former self.

Margaritaville needs to spend money

“Need to spend money to make money!” Greens are very difficult to read with the amount of weeds growing. Most sand traps are unplayable. Sand traps are basically water hazards. Course layout is legit. Great price and if you want to just practice it works.

Great after the Storm

Even after the winter storm the course held it's own . Some spots on the fairway were burnt by the cold but overall playable. The greens have some spots of invasive grass growing but nothing that would take away from the round. It's so close to home and I get great deals that I can make it my home course.

I wish it was better

It was great because we had the course to ourselves. I feel like they need to close the course for a little bit and get it In better shape. It could be a great course if it was kept up. Definitely not worth the 50-60 bucks they charge. Either come down on price or renovate the course.

Greens are gone

This course should be closed, greens are gone,they don’t even take care of the sand traps, hard chunks in traps. I really felt like I got ripped off. I’ve played this course for as long as it has been there ,I’m surprised at how they’ve let it go down. I should get a refund!

Great layout but course is tired

This course has a great layout and a lot of potential, but like a number of other reviewers, the resort needs to let the course take 6 months off while they re-seed the tees, fairways and greens. A number of bare spots around the course, including on the greens (it looked like the resort had just put down some new seed on those areas). Bunkers were bare and we played as GUR. The price we paid for the conditions was fair -- not much different than a so-so or worse muni. Pace of play was great - the family teed off at 2 pm and finished 18 holes by 5:40.

If the resort would spend the money to redo the tees, fairways, bunkers, and greens, this could be a top-50 public course in Texas. The resort could then raise the rack rate by 40-50%. Otherwise, this course is only worth playing on a twilight or hot deal rate at best.
