Great course - relies a little too much on tech

Fairway yardage markers would be great - especially for a new course. The in-cart navigation was no help. A bit more signage getting between holes is also recommended, as it is quite a trek in some cases and there's a lot of construction and road crossings. Staff was ok although you did get a little bit of a second-class customer treatment as a non-member. Otherwise it's a beautiful course on gorgeous property.

Surprisingly Good

Haven't played here in more than a year, due to a prior bad experience. New pro shop, new dining facility and a lot of work dealing with this crazy summer has kept the course in good shape, all things considered, and with significantly improved facilities. The staff was much more friendly than in the past--previously, got chewed out and removed from the premises for using the chipping green after my round last time. This is now a good value.

Great experience playing Kissing Tree for the first time. New club house opened up that day and it’s very nice. Everyone out there was very friendly. The course was in great shape even with the heat we’re experiencing right now.

Good and fun layout course

The course is pretty short but the layout is fun and fair. Leaning more on the easy side and I think it is perfect for being inside a retirement community. Course condition is excellent (green is a bit slower, but roll very well).
