Golf course

Staff was friendly. Course was in pretty good shape overall Tight fairways so better hit straight of the tee. Greens are however some of the smallest I’ve ever played in 40 years I’ve been playing. Pace of play was terrible. We started at 2:30 and couldn’t finish our round due to getting too dark. Didn’t get to play last two holes. And for the price there are much better courses to play! They want around $250 for prime spots in early November when we played. I paid 100 for 2:30 spot. I don’t mind paying up but this course is r worth it.

Always a treat

The course has evolved over time but still is fun to play. While it’s called a links course, anyone who has played a true American links course- think Pebble or Kiawah will be disappointed if they are expecting the same. The marshes, trees, elevation changes, wildlife (deer, eagles, gators…) and terrific course conditions make this a must play for golfers. The final 3 holes run along the sea and make it a scenic and challenging end to the round. The conversion of the finishing hole from a par 5 to a par 3 due to erosion will leave those who played the course in the past, wanting more. This course is very playable for every skill level, but very challenging. You have to hit it straight, avoid the trees and rough, and find small greens that roll true but can be tough to read. The course has begun to overseed , the greens were still excellent. Be sure to check with the pro shop when booking to ensure the fairways and greens are in good condition. The cost is on the high side, but it should give you the opportunity to enjoy a great course and create some lasting memories.

Great Course

This is an incredible course. The layout is challenging yet not crazy. Beautiful views and vistas. The last two holes along the ocean are breathtaking. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A great day on the golf course!

A fun course to play

I enjoyed my round at the Harbor course. It offered plenty of challenges but did not leave me feeling beat up at the end of the day. Tee boxes, fairways and green were all in great shape in spite of extremely wet weather the previous few days. Lack of a clubhouse bar was noted. I would definitely recommend this course to players of all levels.

Fun track

Lots of notes about the fairways not being too good. I thought they were great! Not much on amenities, so be ready. No food at clubhouse, cart girl was great with beer/drinks and food. Guys in the clubhouse could care less. But, all in all, great lay out and a beautiful course.

Fun Course for weekend play

Pace of play was great because most were at home watching football. Course condition was superb.

Narrow Fairways

The fairways are pretty narrow, with marsh/dunes on both sides. The first tee is located a good distance away from the pro shop, while the ninth green isn’t located anywhere near a snack bar, or restrooms.

Great caddy

Our caddy TJ was amazing. He provided us with exact distances and gave us advice on how to hit our shots in a low key, friendly manner. He also had such a contagious laugh!
