The course has a peaceful setting.

The course has it’s own challenges as all courses do and beautiful features alongside the bay. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Rough shape

Made reservation, no one mentioned aeration issue.

Course was in better condition a couple years ago, I don’t think they put as much effort into the course since they’re closing some of the holes to build houses.

Staff was friendly and accommodating, but course was disappointing
