Temp greens are very rough to play on. Might as well just chip everything. Don’t bother bringing a putter. Other than that the course was good.

Price

For the price they should tell you that the greens aren’t being used. They built small greens with a big hole. They shouldn’t charge full price when you aren’t getting a true yardage.

Don’t go

Don’t waste your time or money. The cost is $80-$130 depending on the day. For that much you expect an amazing golf course. When I played every green was off limits for repair so every hole had a temporary green that was in the fairway about 30 yards in front of the green. The temporary greens are fairway grass and all about 15 feet wide. Too make it worst the hole on each green is a foot in diameter. Literally the hole is the size of a basketball. So you can’t really count any of your scores because it is a gimme every putt. For how bad it was you shouldn’t have to pay anything close to the green fees.

Don't waste your time nor money.

I was blown away at the cost of this course for the condition it was in.

1st off the website only says greens are aerated, that's a lie (temp greens). The host did mention it so I decided to play any way. My mistake/stupidity.

The temporary greens were a circle cut in the fairway about 20-30 yards short of the actual green, and about 10-20 foot in diameter, which was like putting on household carpet, and the cup was the size of a volleyball.

I am so embarrassed to even let someone know that I paid to play there. I hope for any future golfers research better than I did. Call ahead of time to verify what aerated greens actually means in there words. I even had a buddy tell me it was horrible but I guess I had to find out for myself, yes I learned the hard way..

Lesson learned for this guy.

Do not play 2022

Greens under work, they should close the course until those are playable again. Probably the worst temporary greens I have ever seen no yardage markers adjusted. Took out all the fun. Better go to driving range than paying 60-70 dollars for practice. Proshop offered to cancel my round at check in. Take the offer if you can.

Beware!

This corse was in terrible shape! I would have rather played in the parking lot. The greens and tee boxes were trash! The staff was very unfriendly and acted like we were disturbing them constantly. This corse has terrible management!!!

It’s not worth $20 much less what they are charging!!!

Nice course.

On the website they mentioned the temporary greens,: no surprises. Most of the original greens seemed in bad condition. But the course is nicely situated with view on the bay and a lot of vegetation. The fairways were perfect, so No complaints.

The course was great we just had to play on temp greens so we didn’t get the full course experience. Everything else about the course was exceptional.

Very poor greens

Every green was under repair. The new greens for all holes were about 30 yards from original…and in the fairway. 1st time playing this course. Was excited because I am a local, and was expecting a top notch course. Sadly disappointed. Sure wish I had known about the course condition before we paid. Probably won’t go back..not impressed.

Did not know till arrival that they were using temporary greens on every hole. Reduced enjoyment of play. Guess that is why price was low.

Not What It Used To Be

Used to play this course when we lived in the area up to 3 years ago. First time back since leaving and was disappointed. Fungus had attacked greens, so we used "temporary" greens - nothing more than slightly lower mowed areas in the fairways. Putting was impossible. The overall condition of the course was less than when we used to play it. As to pace of play, a foursome two groups in front of us admitted to playing very infrequently and took a long time to get around. No marshals to watch for pace of play. Was not worth the price for this visit. The fact that it was very hot (can't be controlled, but just a note) just made things a little more unbearable. Wish it was like the "good old days".

Course needs to be shutdown for repair

Course badly needs to be shutdown for repair. Greens are completely burnt up and they are using fairway greens with 8” cups for putting. Not worth more than $20. Complete waste of time and money.

Needs Time and Attention

Hurricane Michael definitely left this course an uphill battle to recover from. The fairways and tee boxes need sand leveling terribly bad. They are forced to utilize temporary greens while trying to get the greens back from Michael. The staff was great but until this course has time and major TLC it isn’t worth playing. I am hopeful to return and see how it was meant to be played but we are talking years most likely IMHO.
