Fun layout at a good price.

We enjoyed this course. The fairways were open and very inviting from the tee box, the greens were in great condition and the views were outstanding on several holes.

Beware of the sand traps

There is no sand in the bunkers, just white corral pea gravel, eats clubs something fierce. Some are just dirt and gravel. Course is in good condition except for the bunkers. Should be able to take a penalty drop rather than ruin a good club.

Not spectacular but a very well designed course.

Challanging layout. Can be very difficult when the wind blows. Only negative is the sand in the bunkers. Some great ocean views.

Great inland Course

Because we stayed in the Timeshare right on the course, We had the opportunity to view the course everyday. Very pristine, and course lends itself to score well if you put it in the fairway. The greens were tricky and challenging. Not much water to get you into trouble. Great course to help tune up for any ocean course you might play. My wife and I enjoyed the round. Watch out for the wind as this effects club selection by as much as 2 to 3 clubs. Great value thru Golfnow. A must play. for an avid golfer.
