Great course to play

I went on golf now.com and booked my tee time the night before. I was paired with two friendly and great golfers. They did not intimidate me during my round. The pace was great and the conditions were excellent. They even have a Par 3 course across the street. I’ll be back !

Being a new course, it's not awesome

If I was course superintendent I'd be embarrassed. It's a new course, and it's already starting to deteriorate, slowly mind you, but you can tell where it's heading. And this idiotic idea of putting up a fence around parking so we can't drop our clubs is as stupid as stupid gets. Don't do it.

The rough needs to be cleaned up. I understand the hurricane but it's been a while.

If you're not on the fairway, your ball is pretty much lost. Don't like that you can't drive the cart to your car. No gps on the cart. Does not sinc up with Garmin gps.

Local flavor

My wife and I regularly use our Golf Now membership to try local courses. This was one of those adventures. The course was a municipal course which we knew. We were fortunate to be paired with another couple which was great.

Windy weather
Used cart

Practice Area Needs Carts!

B Jones has a great practice area. Unfortunately as elder golfers, the area is 1/8-1/4 mile from the parking lot! So we ask if there are carts available to use to get to the areas? The answer was no! Absolutely ridiculous considering there were 30 or so unused carts waiting for golfers that would never arrive to use them! My wife said she never wanted to visit that practice area again. My full bag weighs about 25 lbs and on this windy day it was very, very difficult to get to and return later to our vehicle. BJones should allow anyone over a certain age to use carts to access their practice area! inexcusable!

Great Grass

Probably the easiest layout I've seen. Not alot of trouble. The maintenance crew keep the grass in great shape. Tee boxes, fairways, greens are in really good shape. Fun round, confidence builder!

Almost there…

First time I’ve played the course since the renovation. I love the layout of the course. It was in pretty great condition as well as the greens. While the greens rolled great, they didn’t really roll true whatsoever. When they looked straight, it wouldn’t go straight. When it didn’t look straight, it went straight. Considering they invested almost $20 million into the course, I was disappointed to notice they don’t have any monitors/displays on the cart. The carts are gas, but they were relatively slow. And I’m not sure whose idea it was to have the Par 3s on the course be 190,190,210, and 240… pretty absurd imo. But having said all of this, I did enjoy the course and would recommend to friends.
