Great course

Played course for first time, loved it. The staff was friendly and very helpful.. We played the whites which was a little long, the clubs we rented were in very good shape. The staff recommendation on course was helpful. A must play and great value compared to others in the area.

Nice course, bad, unplayable “sand” traps

We enjoyed the course but did not like the “coral”, “pebble”, “rock” or concrete like “no sand” sand traps. There were many traps surrounding the greens etc. but without sand in them, how are you supposed to play them? I guess the answer is to stay out of them, but that doesn’t always work. Who wants to scratch their club up trying ho hit out of them? Or if you putt out, you may or may not hit over the lip. Just didn’t make any sense. I heard they were coral but I expected a soft white powder, not concrete like rocks.

I would never play there again or recommend any else do so unless they replace with sand “ never going to happen” or loan every player a sand wedge to destroy. It was a shame.

Good value for 50$

Great course for 50$ golf now. Normally between 95$-120$. I would definitely play for under 90$

Beautiful Condition and Views

Played for the first time. Nice layout and great views all around. Pace of play was a little slow, but that’s kind of expected on a Sunday. Sand traps were not sand but small compacted pebbles which I’m not used to. Some of them you could actually putt out of. Highly recommend this course.

They need to get a Marshall and be better organized.

I was playing as a single. The course was so backed up my entire round took over 5 hours. I saw the cart guy that sells drinks and food three times and didn’t see a Marshall once. Disappointing and it sucks it took so long to play 18 as a single…

Beach Course-Kings

Course was okay. For the money, I don’t know. Maybe offer some special pricing for resort guests? Staff was super friendly.
