Don't Be Fooled by the Website Images

This course is in TERRIBLE condition. Barely any grass on the fairways with far too much debris on the course (that could easily be removed). The greens seems to have a mold of some sort... would not recommend this course to anyone.

Honestly, a disappointment

The fairways & cart paths are in terrible shape. It wasn’t a very enjoyable round. Not one id likely play again.

Good value golf course

Nice layout. Lots of challenging holes with lots of water hazards. The greens were good but the fairways are rough Still, a good value for the money.

Should be called 1,000 dying Palms

This course is in the worst shape possible. Garbage and debris everywhere on the course. More weeds then grass. Dirt sand traps. Looks like they have not watered the course in years. The website shows a nice green golf course and a reasonable price at $85, but don’t be fooled, this course isn’t worth $20!

twilight. golf

was a twilight round, started out behind very slow group,

the let us play through after the 4th hole, there was nobody in front of us till we got to 10. Then very slow again. Not sure where the came from. However, that is the risk of twilight golf... The greens are good. The staff is exceptional. The fairways could use some work.. Overall a good day on the golf course.
