Great day!

The day after the track was flooded the grounds crew had the course in great shape. Management had plenty of workers on the course, showed that they cared. I played alone and had a great day. Loved the layout, lots of water, but fair!

Lots of water

Most holes are very tight & mistakes are not forgiven. Leave your driver in the bag on most holes, as I learned the hard way. Course was in nice condition but recent heavy rains made everything very soggy & difficult to hit off tight fairway lies. Challenging greens very hard to read.

Fun on Sinabel Island

Two couples played. The men played from the back tees and the women the front. We had a fun day. The course was tight and required good shots to avoid the water. There were beautiful houses around the course.

We enjoyed the day and went to the Bubble Room for dinner after the round.

1st Group Out

A friend and I played and had the first T-time of the day. The conditions were good and the course played fairly. Tee selection is important and will affect your ability to score. I am a 20 handicap and we played Tee 3 which distance wise looks short but with water in play on many holes it worked great for us. We played in under 3 hours. The staff is great.

Fantastic course

A course you definitely want to come back to play, if you are a long hitter play from the tips. Greens are in great shape with lots of elevation changes.

Really nice layout. The course is not that long, but be careful there are enough challenges out there and you can easily get absorbed by it. Plenty of water and nature along the course. Really like it.

Windy-bring your straight shot or extra balls

Course was in very nice condition, greens are fast and move in unexpected ways. If you are a bit off line, you will be in the water. Not long, but with the wind, have to play it a bit shorter. Watch the long tee shots! Fairways end and you will be in the drink. Course was getting mowed and the rough was very deep. For $50, this was a great deal.

Extremely challenging course

Course was in great shape even though they had 3.5 inches of rain earlier that morning. Cart path only made for slow play. Water on every hole made it a challenge.

Great day!!

Very challenging course with all the water in play. I also had windy conditions which made it more difficult. This is a target course. Lost a few balls. Got to see the layout of the course, so next time it will be easier to remember the tough spots.

See you soon!!

Don't let the distance fool you

We played the #1 tees as it was only 5500 yards. The layout and risk/reward of the holes makes sure you're on your game otherwise you'll end up shooting in the 90's. Fun course. Not sure if it's worth the $115 green fee as there's no GPS on the carts, no towels in the cart and no extra attn. But if you're looking for a fun challenging course, this is it.

Beautiful layout

Nice course. Lots of water but really doesn't come into play that much. Course is short but fairly wide. Greens are in good shape.

They really cram the golfers in here and don't do a great job matching people up. I was a single player. There was a threesome ahead of us. I played in a threesome, and there were three twosomes behind us. We were about 20 minutes late teeing off because they were so overbooked. But, the starter gave me a small bucket of balls to kill the time. The range is a big lake and they use floating balls.

I guess this time of year you should expect a 4.5 hour round.

Great day on the water

Loved the course. Gators on every hole. Some BIG ones.

Arrived with only 4 balls so I bought a sleeve in the pro shop.

When I finished the round I had 1 ball left.

I didn't mind loosing balls as I had a great time and the course was beautiful.

Didn't need need driver on a lot of holes but used anyway part of the reason so many balls were in the water. Pace of play a little slow. Grandmother in front of us giving lessons to couple of kids who had never played before. allowed us to play through after waiting on a couple of tee boxes.

Cart girl was seen once all day and that was on the second hole. When I finished and went in the clubhouse for a drink there she was again. Informed her she wasn't going to make any money hanging around the clubhouse. She was very young and very sweet maybe she will learn. Bartender was very friendly as well as guys in pro shop and the starter. cant wait to play there again.
