Blue Monster

My son and I played the blue monster for the first time. He’s nine years old. We had a wonderful time. He played from the reds and I played from the whites. It’s definitely a long course. Very difficult greens. Lots of subtle break. Awesome course.

Great facility

Although a mix up, having us on the Gold course as a fully booked outing, the staff moved us to the Blue Monster, cart path only due to upcoming LIV tour, and problem solved as usual. Blue Monster was excellent except top dressing that made the greens slower than usual. This facility has four courses in great shape, impeccable service, spotless, and excellent lockeroom and food options.

Good layout. However

Challenging layout. However the greens were the longest I’ve ever played by far and I’ve played some bad courses. The greens hadn’t been mowed for days. There was no point inputting out.

Silver Fox more like old fox

The course layout is excellent. The greens were in pretty rough ahape. All the green paint could not hide the patches of dead grass.

Fairways mostly brown grass.

For a course that changes top dollar i would have expected better.

Good, not great, course - not worth the money

Due to the price paid not only for golf, but for everything there (a $30 turkey sandwich), i would not recommend this course, nor do I plan to play in the future. It was a good course, quite challenging and a good layout. However, the greens were very slow and at times inconsistent. And in what was a first for me in 30+ years of playing golf, you had to pay to park. For that reason alone, I would not recommend.

Poor greens

I have played this course many times. Usually in great shape. The front nine greens were horrible, the back nine greens were a little better, but definitely not worth the money we paid. I’d give it another two months before I went back.

Poor condition

I’ve played this course 30 times, this is the worst condition I’ve ever seen. Front nine greens are lost, back nine greens are a little better, but running very slow with extra fertilizer. Bring an extra towel for all the crap on your putter when you’re done.

Fun experience

The course was in a good condition, greens being spectacular, fairways very good, tee boxes good. Layout is fun and challenging if you are too brave and try to go for it instead of being conservative. Definitely a great experience and would recommend to all. Same condition as Blue Monster but third of the price.

This course needs careful planning

A challenging layout due to many water hazards that requires careful planning to be fun. Some uncut tees and roughed up greens. This does not match the price point.

Great course reservation mix up

Everything with the course was great but the reservation I made through golf now was for the Golden Palm course and when we arrived on property they couldn’t accommodate our group on that course. They put us on Red Tiger which was a good course just not what I reserved. They claimed it was a glitch that they couldn’t fix. All in all it was a good experience but just annoyed that I had to play a course that I didn’t chose
