Cold but enjoyable

Even though it was in the low 40’s when I started, my round was thoroughly enjoyable. The course was in great shape, especially the greens. Finished my round in a little over 3 hours. The staff was pleasant even with the cold weather.

If you find fun to drive carts

The layout is ridiculous. You spend nearly as much time driving around houses then playing golf.

Great course

Well kept in December. Not overly challenging but really tested the game. Hot dog and fries were solid, but only saw cart girl once in 18 holes!! BYOB

Fun, but not at this price point.

I have had the opportunity to play the harbour and links course many times and you can tell the links is much more looked after and provides the best overall experience, quality and feel. Although the harbour is a tight and technical track with some great views of the intercostal waterway, you can’t help but to notice that the maintenance is just not at the same calibre as the neighbouring links course. The greens seemed inconsistent. Some soaking wet and others bone dry. Some features of pathways and golf course landscaping seemed a little forgotten compared to its sister course the links. There was also some ongoing construction in and around some holes but this was control of the course but local utilities. What is most important to me is value for my dollar. What am I getting for that green fee on and off the course? I can’t say that it is worth $130 a round but closer to $70. A nice fun course but just not $130 nice.

Love the course, it was so much fun to play. All the holes had something different and challenging about them. Had a blast on this course.

Greens looked terrible

The greens had been aerated and no one told us. Had to wait on every single shot. Not worth the price. I’ve played on public courses for a third of the price in much better shape.

Bad from every angle

We played both the Harbour and links course out here for a small golf trip and we all left disappointed. The course conditions on the Harbour course were so sad to see given this being a Fabio designed course. Tee boxes filled with sand, torn up fairways that are wet, extremely slow greens, and horrible carts carts, direction of the course or next holes, tee boxes, etc.

The links course was better but only because of the views which is only really one hole because it is on the ocean. Course is some parts are under construction, more slow greens, no signage, no yardage.

We also were set up with an 8am tee time and they didn’t have anything open for breakfast(no other food close by). The only breakfast spot by the pro shop said they were shut down because not enough staff showed up. This was unbelievably disappointing all around.

Average at best

Course layout is nice and the views are pretty. However the greens were barely in ok shape with weeds and pits throughout. Cart girl came by once on the third hole and never saw her again. No access to food or drink at the turn. In my opinion it's not worth the money. Much better conditions in Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach.

Solid course and holes on the ocean at high tide are incredible

It was a solid course and would play again. Is it worth 280? Probably not. The course was definitely in good condition. I also will say that there’s really only one hole along the ocean.
