Reviews
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 $100 with club rental included. This should be fixed by GN to reflect actual course cost.
The course itself is great. Some of the holes are easy but there are some legitimately tough par 3s. Some plays over 200 and 14 and 18 are quite tough with water carry and not a lot of green to work with. Overall tough but fair
It’s a par 3
120$ par 3 .. absolutely ridiculous
Course is beautiful.. but again 120$
Never again
Worth it and memorable
Playing all par 3 is a nice change of pace. The course was in perfect condition and dried fast despite heavy rains that morning. Each hole is interesting and challenging. The 276 yard hole is unique and scenic. Course was quiet when we played so we had no pace of play issues at all. Got a great rate with GolfNow.
Good for the kids or wife
We were staying on the resort which made it easy. The unfortunate part was that they were airating the back. and the front had just been done so the greens were just another bunker. We were given 20% the original price which was ridiculous. Taylor made sim golf set was included, which was nice. Don’t recommend playing barefoot as there are red ants all over. Good course for wife or kids.
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.
