The course has some great features and a challenge for any skill level.

The fairways and tee boxes need a lot of work. The poorest course conditions of any course played in the area in the past month. Greens are considered only in fair condition when played yesterday!

The timeboxes and fairways were in poor condition, they need some maintenance.. The greens were in very good shape. The washrooms were closed and boarded up. At one time this course must have been great but is now rundown and needs maintenance, would not play again and would not recommend.

Course conditions

Course was not in good shape. Fairways not filled in yet. Greens quite bump. Many bare areas near greens and fairways. Needs more route signage.

Good budget friendly course

First time playing here. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Course is what I expected with overall dry conditions. Greens were a little shaggy and rough but a fun course to play with a fellow Canuck and a local member.

Driving range is below average and very few food options on the turn but got by with what they had. Great rental club quality.

Greens

The greens were bad. Slow and bumpy. Numerous holes need work especially #10 which is a joke

Needs work - decent potential but in poor shape

The course has potential but I wouldn't pay to play it again. Greens are bumpy and disease-ridden. They really need attention. Overall. conditions are just not good.

Waste of money

The course is very narrow, challenging and has lots of water. That said the greens were terrible, ball literally bouncing all over the place. Tee boxes were lumpy and not level. Some were just dirt. Fairways had dirt where there was supposed to be grass on virtually every hole.

SNAFU

SNAFU occurred between GolfNow and resort clubhouse. Both entities charged me for Green Fees and both blamed the other for the problem and both told me to rectify it with the other. Not a user friendly situation and made playing a terrible course in terrible shape that much LESS enjoyable while on vacation. ONE and DONE - maybe for both entities. :(
