Don’t waste time or money to go to this course.

This course is in horrible shape! Greens are terrible they have crab grass and in bad repair. Fairways are hard with limited grass. The course is not maintained needs a major renovation. The price they want to play is way over what this course is worth you would be better off playing a muni in the middle of no where. There really is nothing beautiful about it. The driving range is about 20 yards wide with balls to n a grey trash can but it is free. Margaritaville missed the mark with the shark fin tee markers cut out of wood that are faded and chipped it really adds to the unkept look. I could go on but I think everyone gets the picture. I drove an hour to ply because of pics and reviews don’t do it!

Cancellation

We were unable to play the course as the tee time was scheduled for Thursday instead of Saturday as I had selected on the app. When we showed up they would not honor our previously paid tee times since it was through GolfNow. Tried to call GolfNow but couldn’t get in touch with a person so we had to drive all the way home. Very disappointed in GolfNow and hope that at the least we can be refunded our money since we had driven over an hour to get to the course.

Jimmy this is not Margaritaville

This course is soooo tired, it needs a year off! Greens have too many weeds and crab grass. Looks like they were recently treated but dead spots all over. Why were they allowed to get in this bad of shape in the first place? Seems every hole has a water hazard! Why? It’s suppose to be a resort course! No wonder you can’t get people to play it. Trees overhang making driving a real challenge. Cart paths...hold on to your kidneys because they are in pretty bad shape. If this course got a “redo” recently, someone made out like a bandit? We won’t be back! It’s a shame too because Conroe needs public courses. We went there to play and eat afterwards at Landsharks. Found out the place is closed Monday and Tuesday (LOL). Del Lago, La Torretea (?)...changing names won’t help if your not going to make the course playable for resort guests. Driving range was too small for a driver.

Course is very well maintained with a great layout.

Course is very well maintained with a great layout. A few water and sand traps through the course is a great challenge to improve your game.

On a booked Saturday morning the pace is fast.

Great course. Will be planning to go back soon.

SLOW PACE OF PLAY

No marshall,groups infront hitting several shots per person and no golf course etiquette or Marshall's to regulate the pace of play. I will not come back.

Sorry for your unpleasurable experience, playing as a single on a busy Saturday morning is often the case golfers assume for slow play. As a reminder when playing as a single on weekends you are always encouraged at check in to join other players to make your round more enjoyable. Otherwise the 4-hour pace you played on Saturday might not fit your demands for pace of play.

Good

The grass need to be cut there location where u should be able to find ur Ball! And certain places where we should get some type of Roll. But because the grass is Higher then Ave.! But we also must take the bad with the Good the Hight grass can save u something from rolling N the water lol. That's My Only Complaint! It's a gorgeous layout! I will definitely play it Again The Gold TB is a lot Move forgiveness.

Overpriced

Waste of $50. Weeds all around the greens. Slowest greens I have ever seen in my life. If you golf a decent amount you will regret coming here I promise.

We would love to welcome you to come back and play another round, you played just before we aerified our greens. The green height was elevated to allow a core to be pulled and sand to be applied to smooth the green surface. We have since lowered our green height and the greens are rolling much better and faster.

Good day at Margarettaville

The course is in good shape. Had a good time,but did get behind a threesome and a foursome. Slowed me up but but dramatically. Greens were fast but but too. Gateways were in good shape. Rough can be challenging. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Good value.

Not bad. Fun Layout

First time playing here. Course was in decent shape with all the rain that came through last week. Staff was friendly and let me start the round a little early. Only issues were bunkers not kept and a few greens had some patches of crab grass.

Needs improvement.

First I had a hot deal tee time from GolfNow, so I only paid $35 bucks. Normal weekend rates are like $60.

First impression around pro shop looked great. Once on course not so much! Tee boxes were not bad but not good either. Sand traps were terrible, had not been raked, some still had standing water in them even though it hadn't rained in about a week. Very disappointed in that regard. Rough's were overgrown and difficult to find your balls on errand shots. Keep it in the middle and your good!
