Walk in the wild

Nice course with a great deal of water. Alligators all over the course. Many species of birds too. Tees were in poor condition. Fairways and greens were in average shape.
Pace of play definitely resort speed (4.5 to 5 hours)

Once and done

Range closed so no warmup. Fairways and tee boxes were poor - little grass and what there was in clumps. Greens nice but as hard as a ping pong table. Few pins on flat spots making even short putts seeing one foot breaks. Virtually every hole was doglegged - and with bends that hide green from tee. The repetitive doglegs made the course just not fun - not a resort course. Overpriced for the condition and the layout.

Beat up bad

Fairways are really bad with many bare areas. Turf is hard as a rock like they haven't watered it in quite some time. Greens were good but also firm and hard to hold.
Staff and practice facilities nice

Fun course!

Everyone was friendly and course was in good condition for this time of year. Grass will be thicker soon as the heat and rain help. We play here most every time on our biannual boys golf trip. Greens were running well and gators were out! (my favorite part) Pace of play was great as we went out very early, but as most courses in HHI, the pace slows after lunch.

Disappointing

Staff was very friendly and nice.
Told marshall would help manage pace. Never saw marshall. Saw cart person on hole 3 and 18. Pace was at 4.5 hrs. Fairways were 75% grass. Practice green way nicer/faster than course greens. Nice layout and fair. I would like to give a better review but would be lying.

Not worth the money

fairways were poor and the course layout was unremarkable. I expected way more for $125.
