Good from far, far from good

As you drive into the Margaritaville grounds and see some of the holes, the course looks good. You get on the course and realize it’s a dumpster fire. Sand traps full of water, muddy mower tracks on the course, dead spots on the greens, and a cart path full of uneven concrete segments, mud, and water. I’m pretty sure this course has drainage issues as well as everything is always soggy and slow to dry. Plan to lose some balls if you play here as well since the first cut on most of the course is a jungle.

Expect average conditions on a generally fun track

This facility will continue to need to discount green fees as long as the course condition remain substandard. The driving range is in poor condition with long thick St Augustine turf on the tee. There were also range balls all over tenth fairway. The course itself had several poorly managed ground under repair areas (tenth hole, along cart paths on most holes). There were weeds or bald spots on most greens as well. In general the conditions of the course remain consistent with what I've seen here nearly every time I've played here, infrequently, over the past 30 yrs.

Dont listen to other reviews

This course is not where near the bad reviews its getting. Most of the greens are in great shape. There are a few that have bad spots. But not so bad it bothers your round. Fairways are great. Course is challenging. But fun. Staff is awesome.

Dont allow other reviews to keep you away

I read other reviews and almost didn't play here. Here for vacation. So decided to play regardless of the bogus bad reviews. Fairways are in great shape. And most of the greens are also in great shape. There are a few with some burnt spots. But not bad enough to ruin your day. There are working to replace parts of the cart path. But doesn't interfere with your play. Great course. People there are great. Plan to be back tomorrow.

Wet

The course is in as good as shape as you can expect for all the rain we have received in the area. Hopefully it will dry out and they can mow the super wet areas and tend to the bunkers.

Greens are destroyed

I went last week for a quick 18. I’ve probably never seen the Greens on any golf course this bad. Course honestly needs to be shut down and redone. Definitely not worth it!

While the golf course is still open for play, we are aware that current conditions are not ideal and this is due to a variety of reasons, including our mid-February historically low temperatures. What we are experiencing is not an isolated situation, and many golf courses throughout Texas are seeing the same challenges in recovering their course conditions.

The resort has an aggressive fertilization and maintenance plan in place to assist in restoring the golf course, in particular the greens, to a much better playing condition. We are optimistic that once temperatures reach a consistent low of 70 degrees, our efforts will take root and our course will once again become an ideal place to play and provide the perfect Margaritaville golf experience that you truly deserve.

Our team appreciates your patience during this time, and looks forward to seeing you here often in the future... and to sunnier days ahead!

Course Management

Prior to the round understood greens had damage from the freeze. Surprised by lack of care in other areas. Played course prior to new management and it was better maintained

The course was in no condition to play do to a storm the day before

We couldn’t play no more than 11 holes because of the conditions. We lost a lot of balls because of the branches and leaves in the fairway
