Overall course was good some holes had a lot of divots and mounds of dirt. Greens were in good shape.

Really fun course

We had a great time playing Indian Mounds. The course is pretty open, which is great for a player of moderate ability. The restrooms were not very clean. That is only reason I couldn't give the highest rating.

A nice day

We enjoyed our outing very much. Course was in good shape and the greens were holding well and the putting was quick. We would play it again when on the island.

This course is very private.

The golf course was in very good shape. Greens were alittle soft. Fairways and tee boxes in great condition. Sand traps consistent. I wish greens would have been firmer.

Very impressed

First tee time of the day, finished in 2:50. Course is cut through dense, jungle-y forest. Very tight with some holes, hit many irons off tee to keep in play. A few greens had damage along their collars. Overall a very enjoyable track, with interesting holes. Rarely is there a breeze, so can get very hot and humid.

Staff was awesome, although the cart guy failed to secure the clubs before sending us off. Womp. Fairways were a little high. Could lose a ball in the fairway on some holes. With that, there is no forgiveness if you’re just an average joe.. who happens to slice or hook occasionally. You won’t find your ball. If you like slow, flat greens this is for you. Price was a little steep for what you get. The course was beautiful, and while the weather was just decent (just a touch warmer than we’d like), we had a blast!

Good State Park with high rough

The rough was way too high. Slowed down play looking for balls just out of the fairway. Vacation players beware.
