Great first experience

This was my first time at Penmar, and I really enjoyed it. We were in and out in about 2.5 hours, which felt about right. My buddy and I were grouped with three others, and nobody was a star player or anything, but we all had fun and kept the pace up well. We only had to wait for a few holes and even then the wait wasn’t bad, and the group behind us never felt like they were up in our business.

I love that you get to use the driver here. There are plenty of longer holes. I thought the grounds were very well kept and the workers here all seem to take pride in the course. I booked another tee time as soon as I finished. Heading back next week.

First Time Playing

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

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
