#13...276 yards! Why you need driver on a par 3 course Photo submitted by u000004034511 on 03/18/2017
Not again
Unfortunately, the place was completely overcrowded. There were endless waiting times. A basket of range balls costs USD40. In the pro shop you pay USD8 per ball. Unfortunately everything is overpriced. In itself, the place is beautiful and in good condition.
Great par 3 course
Great par 3 course but not without its challenges it has some tough holes for the average or beginners, I’m not the best player and I did lose more than a few balls. I did hear the same consensus from other players that were better than average. Balls are super expensive there so bring your own. Drinks are also super expensive but don’t try to sneak your own in as they X-ray your golf bag upon entry
Either way it was a great deal on golf now especially with the cost of vacation golf. One tip I have is book last minute and save 1/2 the cost with GolfNow
Decent golf course, fair services.
The golf course was OK, staff was not overly friendly, there is problem with parking if you come in with a car. Rented fairly expensive rental clubs without even a towel to clean them, the weather was hot and humid - at the beginning of the round we have received one(!) small bottle of warm water per golfer. It's all about the people - sorry, won't repeat here.
Improving Conditions
The greens were in the best condition since we started playing the course in November. (and they were good before)
Nice mix of pins. Greens in great shape. Fairways nice, and generous if you must lay up. Traps are super. T blocks a little rough.
Was a lot of fun. A little pricey, but holiday golf is expensive everywhere. Residents get a huge break.
Iovely and challenging 3 par course
Played frst time only 3 par course and I enjoyed it a lot, friendly staff, yummy breakfast, beautiful design and plants, lots of iguanas. Not easy at all. I'll come back for sure
Outstanding Once Again
7th round this winter and as always an outstanding challenge. Feels like you played a full 18 hole course, not a Par 3 executive one!
Very challenging par 3
18 hole par 3 was fun,challenging pretty. Greens had been top dressed so not as pristine as i hsd hoped. Great pace of golf .
Good Course, But Way Over Priced
fun 18 hole par 3 but the "tourist rack rate" is ridiculous. I found a hot deal and it was still about $100. Rack rate is $170/$180.
Great Course
Fun course to play.. Yes it’s a par 3 but you pretty much use all of your clubs. Lots of different hole layouts making it an interesting round.
Great par 3 course
Done longer holes mixed in with water and sand gives me ch variety. This is a great paced course for vacation moves fast.
Parr 3 course not worth playing
Terrible staff, once we arrived to the course. We had to wait 40min to get a shuttle once we were inside the resort. Upon departure it was the same. The course is cart path only and was never posted anywhere. The layout was also more like put put golf than a course that charges that kind of money. Won’t be back
Very could considering very wet weather for the last few days.k
Good par 3 challenge
First off, booking through Golf Now previously saved me money at this course. Not this time. Even with booking the “hot deal” it was more expensive. Found that out when I got there. GN without the hot deal was charging $160 not including all the booking fees. The course was charging around $100 with club rental included. This should be fixed by GN to reflect actual course cost.
The course itself is great. Some of the holes are easy but there are some legitimately tough par 3s. Some plays over 200 and 14 and 18 are quite tough with water carry and not a lot of green to work with. Overall tough but fair
Wow! This poster is way off base. Just played this course for the 3rd time within the last month (today is Jan. 31) and the comments are way off base.
I can't comment about the shuttle, but all 3 times we've used the shuttle - back & forth was in less than 10 minutes.
Sure it's a Par 3 course, but what a nice layout. Conditions are excellent. Staff is excellent. Post game meals in the restaurant is excellent.
I hope nobody skips this course based on the posters comments.
