Great Course Anytime

The Garden is a must play course. Well manicured greens. Some trees have been trimmed back which have opened more opportunities off the tee 2cnd hole par 4 is now a shorted par 3 hole. Not sure if it will come back unless the fence netting is built higher or the neighbors get over it.

First Time Playing

Hope you enjoy playing at a snail's pace!

Was stuck behind two foursomes! The pace of play was unbearable! If you play before 12 noon, be prepared to inch your way down the course! I have notthing against seniors, I'm one of them, but come on! It got so bad, I only made it to the 3rd teebox, and ended up walking off the course and headed home!

good food, course not so much

Try the lechon and Lumpia, fish tacos 🌮

food is good

course conditions weren’t great. Soggy, not necessarily their fault with all the rain, but the upkeep off the fairway and on it was lackluster and lead to losing balls in the fairway and first cut in many instances. Donated 10 balls to the course that would be playable anywhere else. Oh well, sounds like a me problem

Fun Round

I hadn't played this course for a number of years. It was mostly like I remembered it. The tee box on #2 was closed. Traps were in good condition. The wind caused a number of the palm fronds to fall, especially on #9. Overall, it was a fun round...

Must Play this 9 hole

Course offers you the use of a fairway wood. 2cnd hole par 4 has been reduced to size. And is now a par 3. Smaller tee boxes as tee area on most holes are in regrowing stage.

Well groomed and Taylored holes.

Great value

Beautiful weather, nice pairing with others. Green grass and some challenges along the way. (It wasn’t super easy in other words). I also heard the food is amazing but didn’t stay for any. Great course!

Nice 9 hole course @Sunken

Pretty nice course for a quick 9 hole. Takes a while to drain water but then again it was raining hard all week. Hope #8 is a tester fosho.

Always a Place To Play

Sunken Garden is a must play. Expect a small delay. At start. But after you will enjoy such a well maintained fun course. Great prices. There is a bar and restaurant to hang out at after. Currently the 2 cod hole par 4 is under repair. So it is shortened and treat it like a par 3. Otherwise you have to come and play.
