Superb golf experience

Can’t say enough about this great golf club. Beautiful course with so great holes many with marsh views. Course in excellent condition. Greens in great shape. Despite a great course the people were even better! Super friendly and helpful. I left my jacket on the range. It was returned to the pro shop by a young man who works for the course . Nothing missing. Benny the club pro sought me out in the dining room / bar after my round. He introduced himself and thanked me for playing at his club. Who does that? So friendly and professional. Did I mention the fee was $32 with a cart! Maybe the best golf value anywhere. Honestly, you owe it to yourself to play here.

Very nice course for cost

I really enjoy playing here when I'm down in this area. It's a fine layout and for the price online it's worth it.

Traps could use some tending but overall you won't be disappointed.

Good Time Golfing

This was my first time at the course. I hit a few balls at their driving range before teeing off. A book is provided describing each hole. Read it, as there are a few hidden dangers. Great value for the money.

Excellent condition with a friendly staff

Staff was very friendly upon arrival and addressed all my needs. They even offered if I wanted to go off early. The course was in excellent condition for the middle of January. Restaurant and bar was very clean and appealing, very comfortable.

Great course #1

The course is well maintained and conditions were the best so far this year. The rains have still caused some access problems but didn't take away from the enjoyment. Young bucks still have problems with play that is slower than they like. We left a twosome through as they could not be held by us a slower foursome. That's the way golf should be played. If you have other important things to do you shouldn't be playing golf when the most of us seniors will play ready golf. We like to play but we don't like those that want to rush. Conduct here was great. Thanks and we will be back.

Great course

I was visiting family for the holiday weekend and played a round by myself. The starter put me out on the back 9 so I could play faster but I joined a twosome on the first hole and we had a great time. Joined a different twosome when I made it to the front and turned out to be a very enjoyable day on a beautiful course.

New owner has made a lot of improvements

The new owner has put a lot of funds into the golf course itself. The course was in good shape, pace of play was good and carts were clean and well maintained. Not much stock in the Pro Shop. Grill room was not inviting, odd setup. No hot tea available on a very cold November morning. Starter was attentive but unable to answer questions regarding the course setup for the day.

Nice course for the average golfer

Very good condition. Very fair for average golfer. Wide fairways. Sand traps a little hard. Great staff in pro shop and outside help. Great price on the Golf Now App. Will surely return
