Staring times to fast in a row
The course is very nice and is in a good condition.
The staff is very nice! After the game there is a wonderful restaurant!
But the problem is that the saying times are every eight minutes which is way to fast, 10 would be better. We had to wait at very hole for an average of 4-7 Minutes! You don’t get in to playing and cool down every hole and that’s very bad!

OK course
Wasn't in the greatest shape or as nice looking as 2 other courses we played on St. Simons. Definitely saw the most wildlife here, as opposed to the other 2, including a number of alligators, deer & numerous bird species. I'd go back, but it could use some TLC.
