Incredible Experience

When you think of beach golf this is what you are looking for. Amazing views all over the course of the bay. Two incredible signature holes that are second to none. An average golfer can play up from Tee 2 and still have fun. Bring plenty of balls as there is water on 18/18 holes here. Overall incredible experience here as the staff treated us as good as members.

Great Father’s Day

This was a real treat all around. A gentleman greeted me at my car with a cart and a layout of the course and gave me the lowdown on the process. All the staff members were very friendly and informative. Range balls were included with the greens fee which was nice. The course was in spectacular shape all around. The only issue we had was a foursome behind us getting impatient and hitting into us a couple of times, even though we were waiting on a group in front of us and our pace of play was right at 4 hrs. Would definitely play here again!

Great Course

My wife and I played the course and had read the reviews. It is a challenging course with water in play on just about every hole. The fairways were in great condition and the greens were in very good condition considering they lost there greens last year. The staff was very friendly from Randal who picked us up in parking lot to the pro shop staff, the marshals and the guy the cleaned our clubs and put in car after round. Pace of play on back was slow

I would definitely recommend playing here and we will definitely be back to play whenever we are in the area.

I’ve played this course many many times. Enjoy the layout. The greens are always excellent. Some tee boxes need some attention but the rest of the course was great. I definitely would refer this course.

Course layout - great

Fairways - great

Pace of play

We waited till 4:00PM to play and I think 2-twosomes and 2 or 3 singles came behind us we let a single and twosome play through and we still finished in about 3-1/2 hours (ahead of pace) but we finished at dark. Need to put singles with twosomes and wouldn’t be a problem.

Room for Improvement

I have played this course several times now. Overall, the course was in pretty good shape. We played it last year when the greens had been lost, and paid full price without any kind of disclosure about the greens. This year, the greens were super slow and didn’t seem to have been cut or rolled the day we played. I assume this is because the green are still fairly new and immature grass. Fairways and layout are great as they always are. We played the round in 4 hours with a foursome, and there was one point when the ranger asked us to speed things up, when no one was in front of us or waiting behind us at all. We paid a premium price and are above average golfers who know how to keep pace of play and are usually the ones waiting on others.

Had a good day and a decent experience, but the staff and the course always seem to leave some room for improvement.

Great Vacation Course!

My son and I have played this course twice. We were here almost exactly 1 year ago. Both were wonderful experiences. An attendant met us at the car as soon as we parked to load our clubs. They unloaded them into the trunk of the car when we were finished. Super friendly. Clubhouse people were super friendly. Slight discrepancy with the tee times was easily fixed. Saw 3 Rangers on the course during our round. I appreciate that because it keeps pace of play moving….and keeps non-paying people from trying to jump on the course. Love this place. Tougher track….will test your length and shot-making at times. But we love it!!!

Extremely Overpriced

Overall, it is a very nice course. As far as pace of play, Marshall's continually hassle, and even encouraged my son and I, as well as the couple we were paired with, to "skip a few holes" even though no one was waiting on us or backed up. My brother -in law and his boys were even on the hole ahead of us....we called to make sure where they were at when they crossed the street when we weren't able to see them. As far as I am concerned, it's a nice, challenging course, and I would play it again and again, but not for $280 for a pair.

Course was in decent shape. Much better than some pictures I had seen

Very nice

Course was in very good shape. The carts paths are not close to most greens. Course is spread over large area and they don’t have the paths from hole to hole marked well at all. Marshals did their best to get slower players to move on and it did get better. Everyone was super friendly but they had left a brand new girl alone to check everyone in on one of her first days at work. She was doing her best but could’ve used help.
