Beautifull course but slow

Great course but pace was slow since not enough time between starts (?) - had to wait at every hole. Total time was 4.8 hours vs a quoted time of 4h20min.

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

Was busy the day I played, but staff was very efficient. Course was in great condition and was challenging. Pace of play was good (4 hour round). Got paired up with three nice golfers (a couple from St Andrews Scotland and a gentleman from Sea Trails. Very enjoyable round. Highly recommend.

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.
