Very nice course. a bit pricey

This is a really well kept course. Plenty of trouble but not a super difficult course. Perfect mixture of fun yet challenging holes. 17 is a fun risk, reward short par 4. Would recommend.

One thing I learned, I booked my time a few weeks ahead and paid about $240 including GolfNow fees. Had 2 playing partners. One booked the night before, also on GolfNow, and paid approximately half of what I did. So much for planning ahead. 3rd person in the group had the round included with the property he was staying at.

Thanks for the 5 stars and great feedback. Dynamic pricing affords our guest the opportunity to get the best value when they're flexible on their playing dates and times. Stay n' Play packages with our Hospitality Partners are another great way to save some money. Thanks again for the recommendation and we look forward to seeing you out here again soon!

very slow

They started us off the back 9 and it was packed, tee box, fairway, green, every hole. 4.5 hours to play 15 holes and would have taken another 2 for sure.

Thanks for the feedback and we regret the pace issue you experience. Pace can vary and we do our best to keep things moving. Early morning tee times are the best way to ensure quicker pace during the busy season. Give us another try sometime soon! Thank again!

Great course!

I played this course when it opened in 1998, I remember liking the course so played it again. Played on a Friday afternoon, pace of play was surprisingly good. Course was in great condition, greens are challenging, but not unfairly fast.

Nice course, but...

Course was nice, but lots of new home construction along the course. Teams ahead bogged down pace, but sitting and waiting allowed us to take in the nice views. Sadly no military discounts and no refs to keep pace moving ahead.

Thanks for the 4 stars and the constructive feedback - it all helps us grow and improve! Pace can vary but we do our best to keep things moving. Sorry for missing the mark with you this time around. We do offer Military discounts but can't combine them with other discounts. Guessing you may have been on an already discounted rate but if not, let me know and I'll make things right with you for next time. We value and appreciate our members and guests that serve our great nation - thank you for your service and for coming out to play with us. Hope to have you back soon!

Great Course

This was my first time. The course is a great layout. Played from the blue tees and it was tough. Longer than I am used to playing. I will play here again for sure. Practice area was first class. Overall a great experience

Thanks for taking the time to leave a positive review of your experience with us and 5 star rating!

Yes, the course plays long here on the Gulf coast at sea level and with less fairway run out so it's often encouraged to move up a set of tees compared to your home course.

Come back soon to give it another try from the white tees next time! Thanks again!

Good round for the price

Course set up is challenging but fair if you are hitting the fairways. Greens were receptive but sandy from presumed recent aeration. Didn't seem to be too detrimental to putting. Overall, good price for the golf.

Way over priced course

We were told it was one of the best courses around. If it was, I’m glad I didn’t play others. We were told in advance that the greens would be airated 2 weeks prior but it seemed like it was 2 days before. In addition, the grass in the fairways were thin and were a goat farm. Crazy to pay $200 plus for this.
