Great course

Awesome course. Front nine greens a little bumpy. Back nine greens excellent. Green grass everywhere! Front nine pace was a little slow. Can’t wait to play this course again.

Unpredictable Greens

Greens look like a patchwork quilt and are bumpy and difficult to read. Hose sprinkler on almost every hole that you had to hit through or get your ball away from.

Unnecessarily difficult due to the above.

Fairways were in good shape. Greens and tee boxes could use some work. Course was average and a little over priced.

Course is a challenge

The course is a really fun challenge, and in better shape than the Spring. but the pace of play is slow and too many golfers trying to play from the black tips who shouldn’t be make the pace worse.

This course was great

This course was great. Larry the Marshall was ready for us at the early tee time and gave us a quick rundown of the course. The course was very challenging but open enough fairways to keep it fun for beginners. I will be coming back

Fun Round but had to wait.

Hole 1-4 we played pretty fast. No one in front of us. Caught up to twosome on hole 5 they had threesome in front of them. Waited on every hole for remainder of the round.

Greens were okay. Some fairways were pretty desolate.

Meh

The good news:

Friendly people and the GPS works well, with free audio if that’s your thing.

The bad news:

The course is in mediocre (at best) shape

The cart USB’s are all broken

The greens are VERY patchy.

It wasn’t my bag. Again, at least the staff is nice.

Improved fariways

Fariways much improved looks like course is getting additional water all around.

Course sill needs to import sand from any local beach, otherwise rakes are available to smooth out the hard muddy sand/dirt..

Not a bad course to play.

First time playing here. Overall it was a good experience. Pace of play was extremely fast. 3 person and we finished less than 4 hrs. The group in front of us was playing pretty fast and the group behind us was moving 1-2 strokes behind us. Some fairways and green area Course need some work on the front 9. A lot of area was damaged and being repair. Some sand traps are soft and some are not. But overall good experience!
