Awesome Course

Love this course. The island hole is a fun challenge. 180 to the island and 200 to the pin; or 315 to the pin across water. I did the 180 and 200.

Course at 7:00 am tee time was quite wet with standing water in the bunkers. All good, but added to the challenge. Not an easy course, but not as difficult as Pete Dye courses in the area.

Narrow Fairways

Course greens, tee blocks, rough, and fairways in excellent condition. Some sand traps were flooded but others were soft. Sadly, I was in a sand trap on every hole. Enjoyed playing hole #9 and #18 - serious water opportunities!

Good experience overall

This is a decent resort course made tricky by trees encroaching towards the fairways making tee shots feel claustrophobic for someone like myself with a natural draw shape.

The conditions were very good with decent green speeds. One black mark as far as I was concerned is that there was no GPS on the cart and no sign of the course on SkyCaddie. I carry this with me as a back up in case of no GPS so was rather disappointed to have to guess pin positions and accurate yardages.
