WORST COURSE ON THE ISLAND

Disgraceful. Thought the course would be good but it was embarrassing. Tee time was set for 3:32. Cart guys made me fully aware that it was supposed to rain and that my cart was to be in by 8. It sprinkled a bit and we finished by 7:30. Cart staff was still unfriendly. Really disappointing especially being a Shipyard Owner. On another note, greens were the worst I've putted on in a long time. I've played awful courses in Niagara with far superior greens. Like the course should be embarrassed to charge what it does for twilight and be in the condition it is. Worst value on the island and I wouldn't play this garbage course for the cheapest amount of money. Get your act together!!!!

Really fun course to play

Conditions were a little rough in some spots but overall it was extremely playable. Greens in excellent shape and speed was very good. Not slow and not too fast. Really enjoyed the layout .

Fairways not up to oar

Greens were great, course is great but the fairways were in poor condition, I’ve played here many times & never seen the fairways like this. Hope it was a one time problem,

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.
