JEFFREY Worden

THE COURSE WAS IN VERY POOR CONDITION EVERYWHERE - GREENS, TEES AND FAIRWAYS. THE SAND TRAPS WERE O.K.

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COURSE TO ANYONE WHO HAS TO PAY $40.0O U..S. TO PLAY.

Poor condition

There wasn’t any part of the course that wasn’t in crappy condition. The fairways suck and the greens are horrible. Wouldn’t waste my money on it in the future.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice carts and putting green. Challenging layout with views of the Bay.We will be playing there quite often this snowbird season.

Needs Some Love

This course was probably lovely once, but it is in pretty rough shape. For sure we played in the winter and perhaps simmer would show improvement, but from tee box to fairway to green it just needs love and investment. The shining light was the staff - pro shop and starter were simply very nice people and very accommodating when I had my tee time mixed up (although the course was pretty empty). Bring your sense of adventure (and humor) and have some fun for an inexpensive round with a couple of pretty views and lots of practice on less-than-ideal surfaces...

Difficult course

It was a hard course to maneuver. Spent some time finding hole #1. There was a lot of tree roots in the rough area which if you weren’t looking you would be falling or tripping, needs to be cleaned up or have them covered more. Dangerous when you’re in these areas swinging you want to make sure that there’s no tree roots around oh you’ll be breaking clubs. For me I wouldn’t go back.

Needs Love

As a positive, the people working in the pro-shop were incredibly friendly but unfortunately the course is really in rough shape. Granted, it was winter when we played but tee boxes and greens were sandy, fairways were primarily dirt, greens were, well, not particularly green. Some holes that could be stunners, but it is clear this course needs some love and investment.

Still quite rough but a good layout

Glad they had directional signs to get around the course! This will be a great track when the grasses start to green and rough areas fixed.

Terrible Course with Snobby Members

A friend and I played this course occasionally due to it have wide open tee times because of the condition, so we knew what we were getting in to. I haven’t been back and won’t be back since I played this course back in Oct 2022. We showed up for our 8:00 am tee time booked through Golf Now, the gentleman in the Club House was surprised we were able to book because of a 8:30 member shotgun start for a tournament. He told us no biggie, go ahead and go and we should be in front of the members. In the cart it had Bay listed at the top followed by Marsh, so we went ahead and drove to Bay 1 and by the 3rd hole members were coming through and started to call the club house because we were in the middle of their tournament. We said no problem, we will drive to Marsh 1 and get out of your way. By the time we got to Marsh 3 we were behind a group of 5; no problem we are not in a rush. Well they called the club house and sent some girls holding the tournament to us in order to escort us to Marsh 6 to get ahead of the members. I told them no thanks, I’m done being moved around by your members. I was fully refunded but refuse to give a $1 to this crap course again.
