Well layed out course. Water and sand traps everywhere . Not a curse for the avid golfer. It’s still under construction but they are doing everything the right way.

Beautiful Course

Played this course back in September. Loved it then and love it even more after the second time. Still no clubhouse, but the course is so great that it doesn’t really matter.

Great layout

This is a new course and the layout and course condition are both exceptional for such a young course. However the front nine is a building site and there is a temporary pro shop and no clubhouse. It was very windy and the front nine was awful conditions with dust from construction blowing across the course, also cartpaths were just dirt tracks. Back nine much better. Will be awesome when completed but don’t expect too muck at the moment.

Good but needs finishing touches

Course is rough around the edges. Needs more restrooms and mature grow. the dirt blows around when windy. also need better marking of water hazards. Gps on carts helps you navigate the course. fairways and greens sre in great shape. Greens real fast and breaks hard to read. Challenging course in the wind

Great course!

Course is in great shape. Pace of play was not good. 4 some in front of us slow. Hole in front of them empty. No ranger in sight. Staff very friendly. Really no amenities yet, in the process of building. Price great for such a beautiful course.

Nice Course

Drove an hour to play at 10:30am and it was worth the drive, however, I wouldn't do that too much unless there was an incentive to come there.

Fun course with as much challenge as you want from the different tee blocks.

Amenities not complete so no clubhouse but the course is what I go for!

Needs a lot of time to grow

We played the course first time. Friendly Staff, balls on the driving range for free.

But the pace was very slow, we started at 4 and cut not finished the round, we have to break up on Tee 15, it was to dark at 7:15..

This course needs a ranger to speed up the players.

Course will be better once clubhouse is done and other amenities are finished as it is still under construction.

Another glorious day in paradise!

Course in excellent shape; greens still plenty fast. Playing partner made an ace on #5; gotta ask the greenskeeper for tougher pin placements next time (just kidding!). Can’t wait to see the facilities open up. Would like to see rough a little taller around the hazards to try to hold a bit more, but could always try to stop hitting into them!

Excellent course

My wife and I played this course in March of 2022. Excellent layout and a great course to play. Going back tomorrow and hope to play 1 more round after that this year. A must play course!

A Work in Process?

Course is nice. The rest is a disaster. Temporary cart paths (gravel and dirt) Poor signage The total emphasis is obviously on subdivision construction. Looks worse now than last year. Will be a nice place … someday.
