Great weather and nice staff

I really love the ocean breeze. It does factor into how you play the game. However, this course is wide open and it's fairly simple. If you're a intermediate player. Enjoy your round

Great for what it is

Love this place to get a quick nine in and work on your game. Mostly all of the people who play here are enjoyable to be around, and the restaurant is really great. It's not challenging, and is about as flat as a golf course can be, but it's great for what it is. The only major downside is that they send out five people in each group, which shouldn't be going on anywhere.

Pretty nice course with the worst pace of play I’ve ever experienced

Pros:
- For the most part, it’s a pretty well maintained course
- Nice staff

Cons:
- Greens are either meh or great
- Literally had to wait at least 10 minutes each hole and close to 25 minutes on one hole
- Was only able to play half a round before it got dark even though I booked a tee time 1 hr and a half before sunset
