Good course greens were great.

Some holes are short. Great pace of play for our time frame. It was wide open on the back 9. Nobody in front of us. Lots of water. The 2 courses Intertwined is a little confusing at first but is was easy to navigate after the first hole.

Good fun

Nice course with fun water, nature, and in good shape for the sandy salty terrain.

Very hot in the Summer and a little too high priced. Great food at the 19th hole.

Solid greens, crappy fairways

To play the course was $24 so it’s a great value but I booked through GOLF now; regular price was 48 and to me not worth the money for that course. The greens were really nice but the rest of the course was below par (pun intended). The staff was extremely nice, the course was not busy at all so it was nice to just relax and take my time. I was with a buddy and we spent four hours just hanging out on the front nine! The course layout is extremely confusing and wacky, they constantly have a nine hole short course converging into the 18 hole course and it makes navigating extremely confusing. Also, make sure you hit the fairways because if not you’re in for a rough ride (that’s another pun for you).

Staff Is very rude

I have been to this course weekly for years as I live half a mile away and the staff is always pretty rude. On this occasion the lady in the pro shop was very bothered she had to help us and do her job. When we got rained out on 8th hole after paying for 18 she told us they don't do rain checks on golf now bookings because golf now doesn't pay them any money and she wished they didn't even let us book through golf now. In my opinion this is a sub par course with lower service members and I nor my foursome I play with weekly will ever return.
