The Palm Course is enjoyable and challenging

A great choice for amateur golfers and couples However, the two par 3’s with water are a bit too challenging and discouraging

Fun day on the links

We really enjoyed playing the Valley course. The layout was very good with a little bit of water and a reasonable amount of sand. The greens were a little bumpy. Maybe they were recently aerated? The only downside was I left a club at the practice range and nobody turned it in. My fault, but there is aa dishonest person somewhere with my club. The cart guys went out of their way trying to find it so a big thanks to them. We would definitely play there again.

Absolutely gorgeous

This was out and away the prettiest course I have ever played. The terrain and hazards made it complex and challenging while the multiple long wide fairways offered a chance to redeem ourselves. The beverage cart was pricier than we are used to but that may just be the norm for the area. Still10/10, will play again!

Great track

Booked 7am spot on golfnow and was paired with two really nice guys (and not terrible golfers :). I am a 4 hc and we played the course in a little over 3hrs. First couple greens seemed slow after playing Indian Ridge the day before but became very consistent and smooth. Ended up shooting 75 but I would play it again and recommend you try it as well.

Steve S

Nice course, in great condition. Played midday with no one in front or behind us. Finished 18 in 3.5 hours.

Overall fun course with challenging holes. Only complaint, last hole did not know there was water in front of green. My fault should have paid more attention to gps.

Well maintained

This course is by Marriot villas we stayed in. Very convenient. Greens look as if they were aerated recently but rolled ok. Good pace of play. Golf shop, starter and cart service good. Both courses, Palm and Valley challenging.

Greens not worth the price. Only play with a great deal…

Greens not worth the price payed. Great course, but greens are lumpy and burned out in spots. The local $50 goat track’s greens roll smoother. Otherwise a great golf course. Just a little overpriced under the current playing conditions.m
