Shake, Rattle and Roll

Nice to see bentgrass in the south. The fairways and greens were both in great condition. Greens were a bit slower than other courses but lovely to putt on.
Liked the putting and separate chipping greens at the start. For a single at the end of the day, pace of play was very good.
The title refers to the cart paths which could be rented out for a trick skateboard competition or maybe motocross.

nothing has changed

Booked an am time to beat the "social pm times" who never finish before dark at this time of the year
5 hour round..ban senior men from playing scrambles...ridiculous
Absolute worst cart paths in the strand by far
My second time here and the first was the same..
I got talked into it and never again
Many many more better options at same or less cost out there

Great Course,Great conditions and Great Value

I doubt you will find a better couse in this area for the money ! The course conditions were perfect ! Greens, tees and fairways ! We played the SAND and PIPER nines and they presented a fair but challenging experience. The staff was super friendly and helpful.
