Great course - bad service

We paid $350 per person to play and saw a cart girl one time on the 14th hole… The rest of the staff didn’t care and didn’t make anything right with us… The service for a top level course and resort was a pretty bad experience. The courses in great shape but the service was definitely not great.

Great GolfNow Deal Made This Round Possible

The Faldo Course is a great resort-style layout and is HEAVILY bunkered … EVERYWHERE. With 108 sand traps available, I visited my share of them. Overall, the Course was in excellent playing condition, from tee to fairway to green. The only complaint I have was that the speed of the greens was slow (at least for me). Pace of play was very good (a little more than 3.5 hours). The value was fabulous, given my unusually low price offered via GolfNow.
