Hidden Gem

Was driving back to Florida from Charlotte and felt the urge to play. Saw this course had good reviews and gave it a shot. Played by myself and finished in 2.5 hours. The scenery is awesome. Course was in great shape. Pretty wide fairways. Greens rolled true. If I'm ever back in the area I will play again.

Best yet

We've played here for a long time and this was the best I've ever seen this course. The tee boxes,fairways, and greens were all in excellent condition. Management has definitely put some money and people into fixing the place up and it shows. From check-in to the last putt, we truly had fun playing here. The personnel were great and friendly as they always are and our fellow golfers were the same whenever we'd meet up on the course. We only wish we lived a little closer (we're from Richmond Hill).

Nice coastal course

I drove down from Atlanta on Monday 9/8/25 to play this course. I teed off at 2:30pm and had the course to myself. The greens fees include range balls which was a plus. The clubhouse looked nice with a dining area but the pro shop and grill are in the same room. The layout of the course was straightforward. The course was in good condition except the holes were raggedy and needed to be changed. The only really bad part about this course itself are the cart paths. They are gravel with lots of bone jarring roots. Overall, this is a nice coastal course, i.e. flat, and is a decent value.

Always a great experience

My only disappointment was sand on the greens. They were still faster and truer than most courses in the area, but it wasn’t the perfect experience it usually is. I didnt see a notice about this when i was making my reservation.
