Terrific course, needs a haircut

Lovely course with plenty of nature. The grass just off the fairways was too long, struggled to find balls at times.

3 courses to choose from

The fourth course is being renovated as we speak. Over all nice course. The fairways are a bit narrow. We played Orleander.

Good course for the money

Oleander is a beautiful course with challenges on every hole. The course maintenance seems to be ongoing, but could use some extra tlc in places. All in all, it’s a fun course to play.

Greens need work

The greens need to be reseeded and tended better. There are patches where grass is growing up that is uncut that makes putting seen more like winter rules. There are no ball washers on any hole and there are no yardage markers on any hole; one must depend solely on the GPS in the cart. Didn't see any 150 or 100-yd markers

Not What I expected!

The course was mushy and wet. We were not informed of the bad grounds. Many of the greens have weeds growing on them which makes putting difficult.

Poor condition

It's a well-designed golf course but the greens are pathetic and I don't understand how people could give such good reviews!
