Great course to play

My dad and I went out on a Friday morning to play 18 holes. The staff was very friendly. The course was in great shape! Beautiful views on every hole! I will definitely come back to play! I made a birdie on hole 9!

Great condition in December

I was pretty amazed on how well this course was maintained especially this late in the year. The value was great on GolfNow. The fairways were neatly cut and tight. Greens were immaculate, rolled true and no bumps or jumping offline. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this course to my friends and family when they visit.

Terrible shape

Paid way too much money for a course that was in such bad shape. The regular 18 hole course at sea palms is good but their nine hole course is not. Will not play again.

A course worth playing

I've played here a few times and in different conditions. The course was in the best shape yet. You need to put your ball in the correct place on some holes. There is water in play on a few. The greens were just the right speed for me. I don't like them too fast. I love the par 3's and there are 5 of them. #14 gives me fits every time I play it! Didn't partake of the grill, but it did look inviting with a fire going and a nice bar area. Will definitely play here again.

Nice course

Very nice for just a few weeks removed from hurricane Irma. As first time at course, I felt there needs to be more signage as the score card has no layout and there isn't any thing on the tee box. Also there are no yardage markers except for the sprinklers, but those are hard to find.

Did have lots of water and ice. Didn't use clubhouse.
