Good Time

Even though the course was cart path only because of of rain for a few days, the course was in decent shape. Pace of play was excellent with only a few pairs out. Still one of my favorite courses.

No water on course to drink. No clubhouse turn you play straight through club house at the beginning and end. Drink cart takes only cash. Staff friendly ibut course is not player friendly.

Fun course, but.

This course layout was super fun and challenging. The greens were super small on the par 3’s which was a fun challenge. My only issue with the course, was the lip on almost all holes were really beat up. I would definitely play this course again. If you are visiting this course parking is a nightmare. Plan on 20 minutes to find parking.

A little disappointed

Course was tight off the tee. Greens were burned and rather slow. Gets a lot of play. Pretty location. Sand traps need some work. Small greens.

Over paid

The greens were in terrible condition. They looked like they had been cut way to short and browned out.

Course has really gone downhill

The course was in rough shape. Greens were slow and very bumpy even when not punched. I’ve played the course a handful of times prior to recently playing it and I enjoyed it before. I don’t think that I will play it again.

Beautiful venue that’s pricey

A beautiful course in a great location that is pricey considering has more par 3’s than your typical course. Pace of play for a Sunday morning was horrendously slow.

Not worth the money - go to the beach.

Greens were rough and very inconsistent.

Sand traps were hard packed with no sand.

Very expensive for the course conditions.

Will not return - go inland.

Incredible

Have never played a Links style course so this was surprisingly amazing. I'm not a scratch golfer by any stretch but felt that I handled the course very well...applying my handicap I was 10 under par. Great course, will play it again if the opportunity arises.

Not worth the money

Greens are rough, long, and slow

One par 5 being played as a par 3

If you travel - do not go here.

We won’t be back.

Not Worth the money!

My wife and I were very disappointed by this course. It had rained the day before so there was standing pools of water all over the course, bunkers, burns etc. we lost 3 balls each in fairway. We Couldn’t find a restroom on the course at all. Also 8 th hole par 5 played as a par 3 because of reconstruction. Greens were mowed terribly but fairways were not riough just off fairway was 4/5 inches so if u found your ball advancing it became a battle. Scorecard not really that helpful to help you avoid trouble. I think under the circumstances a rain check might have been a better offer or at least a heads up about the course. Maybe the links course is better but I wouldn’t spend that kind of money on this course when there are cheaper and much better courses in the area.

Nothing Special

First time playing, course is nothing special. Everyone rants about the views, Holes 17 & 18 was the only time I took my phone out for a picture. Course should be $50-60 but since it’s in a resort they can up charge. I got the golf now deal and I’m a golf pass member so ended up playing for $76 but still questionable at the price. If you never played it’s worth it to go check out but I probably won’t play again. Fairways and greens were in fair condition. One par 5 under construction so there is a total of 5 or 6 par 3s now.
