Hidden Gem?

Played Sunday morning 7:40 AM hotdeal. Virtually no one playing this course. Checkin was a breeze, guy at desk awesome. I was able to go out early following another single on the same agenda. Played fairly quickly 3 hours not rushing taking my time. Course layout very nice, holes actually not very demanding but visually intimidating from the tees since the course is very flat and every hole is framed by tall grasses so only portions of the fairway can be seen from most of the tees, only had 1 visit to the tall grass area trying to cut the corner on the only real dogleg left par 5 17th. Conditions I'd rate a 8 out of 10, tees, fairways great, rough not deep but difficult to hit from, bunkers hard due to recent rain but has good base of sand, greens moderate speed only a couple a little patchy not affecting play. Greens played slow this morning due to last night rain. Carts have GPS, took a few holes to notice it down by the ignition key. Back nine a little confusing to start, sign shows #10 blue tees immediately afer leaving ninth green, par 3 island green. Not open sign posted by white tees, OK no signs showing where actual #10 is but it had to be on the other side of the clubhouse and there it was after a little search. Couldn't understand why more golfers were not out at 10AM when I finished as only 15 cars were in the parking lot. Would definately play this course routinely if I lived in this area.

A great course to test your game!

Some greens had weathered spots but pin positions took away those issues.
Excellent value for cost!

Golf among the marsh grass

Have played this course several times. It has changed over the years and this year was the best I've seen. The course set up has improved and it looks so much better than originally. Last year they put in too much of the natural grasses. They have removed a lot which made the course fairer to play. There is still a lot of the grass and you can get into trouble if you find it. Pretty course now and fun to play. I wouldn't recommend walking, good distances between some of the holes, but not hilly.

Unkept

The course was just okay. On the positive side... This. Is a fun course to play and fairways are in good shape. I played the tips and a couple of the tees had not been cut in weeks. On 18 tee ...black tee...the grass was 3-4 inches high. Some of the bunkers have grass growing in them and are very unkept . On 6 ... One of the signature holes... Was closed??? My buddy was playing blue tees and the island green near the clubhouse had no tee markers.. No blue tee markers??? The greens were sloooooow maybe a 6 or 7 on the stimph meter and some looked diseased with black algae and are extremely grainy. On some holes there is some sort of marsh grass or sawgrass. There is a lot of it and is in some silly places... Right beside greens, in the middle of fairways and just some crazy places. I played it for $ 25 and don't feel like it is worth any more than that. Sanctuary Cove is $27 and is much nicer all the way around

Good course

Course is very challenging and surrounds are beautiful. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Fairways and greens are a little burned right know. This was expected since the average temp the week played was 94° and the heat index reaching 105° - 110°. Would love to play it again in the fall.. Good value for the course..

Not for the average Golfer

The staff is Great ! This is the most difficult course I have ever played. Pampas grass comes into play on every hole. Water on nearly every hole. Pampas grass runs about ten yards off fairway and fairways are pretty narrow.. You are even in the fairway or out of bounds. The fairways and greens are wonderful. The bunker sand could use some attention but not terrible. I give the value average because the green fee then added by the balls you will lose is average cost. Recovery is a part of golf just watch the tour players. This course factors that out with the hazards. Be prepared for higher scores than usual. Aim for the 150 markers, and leave the driver home, and you should be fine. A beautiful course with great surroundings.

What a waste of a good piece of land

The course was in poor condition and had the worst "good-shot/reward" ratio I've played in the area. Not to say that you could tell where to hit the ball in advance - the maps are outdated and visual clues from the tee box are almost non-existent, One of the many annoyances - 420 yard par 5's preceded by 510 yard par 4's. The greens were in terrible condition... but I did get my first birdie of the year and played well. Even that did not improve my opinion of this course.

Nice coastal GA course!

Nice course with several beautiful holes on the Brunswick coastal marshes. A very challenging course in good condition. On this day the greens were slow and grainy. One downside was the overabundance of pampas grass on every hole which are a magnet for golf balls

Greens??

These are the worst greens i have ever seen on a golf course. There are several that have large patches with zero grass, just dirt. It's kind of funny watching the ball bounce around on them like a plinko game though. There are several courses in the area for half the price that are far better.

Bring an extra box of balls

In 20 years, this was the trickiest course I've ever played. There are a lot of blind shots and far too much pampas grass to deal with. We had a lot of wind, gusting to around 25-30 mph, which made things nearly unplayable, thanks to that pampas grass lining fairways and positioned tightly around a few greens (yes, lining the greens). I typically lose one or two balls in a round, but I went through a dozen by the time i stood on the 15th tee box. It's unfortunate that they do not mow all of the pampas grass down, which would make the course a lot more fun and playable.

The staff needs to learn some basic manners, as well.

Chris in the pro shop was so courteous and friendly. He is a great asset to the club. We definitely will return even though it is an hour drive.
