I Recommend This Course
Nice , 1st time there experience
Pro Shop attendant Michael was very friendly,receptive and helpful as my son and I were playing the course for the first time.
The course is a beautiful layout with many challenging holes for a11-20 handicap player.
Plenty of sand, water addibg to the challenge.
We played from the standard white tees but blue and black tees would add to the challenge for a -0-10 handicapper!
We Will definitely be back again soon

5 min separated tee times makes for 5.5 hour rounds
I really enjoyed playing the course when we were able to play. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish the round due to delays at every tee box due to 5 min separated tee times. Also, because of this we tee'd off roughly 20 minutes late. It took almost 3 hours to complete the front nine, and I just ended the round there because there were multiple groups waiting at the 10th tee box.
