5 Hour Round
Took 5 hours to play on a TUESDAY! There were 3 groups teeing off hole 10 and no one did anything about it. Maybe they should have had the bev cart so people could at least get a drink.
Nice track and nice conditions
The greens rolled true and smooth and for the most part, fairways were very nice. Would definitely recommend as a golfing experience.
Bear Trap Grizley and Kodiak
You're was in excellent shape. Greens were perfect, bunkers had good sandwiches and tees were fine. 5 sets of tees for any level. Course was fairly open even though there were water areas and water they didn't come into play if you hit reasonably straight. Clubhouse was nice too
Nice Course
Really nice course that plays fairly. Greens were fast this time and flag placement was tough. nice little oasis away from the beach!
Great day
Greens are PERFECT.
Tee boxes - great shape
Fairways - great shape
Staff - friendly and helpful
Overall - course in excellent shape for the time of year. Superintendent should be proud.
My only complaint is the greens are perfect and did not give me any excuses for missing putts!
Carts
The electric carts with auto lock are very easy to handle.
Similar handicaps
I wish there was a way to match up players with similar handicaps / playing ability.
4.45 hrs round of golf and a couple that should be playing pitch and put not a difficult championship course. In the reservation ask for your handicap and
Would you like to play with comparable players.
All parties would benefit and pace of play would improve I hope.
Rainy
Unfortunately it rained during the whole round, but we still had a good time. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and the course was in great condition. Also the bunkers drained very well. For a rainy day of golf we couldn’t have chose better.
Could be better
Granted the weather did not cooperate but the slow pace of play and the lack of any water or snack cart service compounded the "cart path only" conditions. I would like to return when the weather conditions are better and not stuck behind beginners topping the balls and hitting it sideways while the rain was pounding us.
