Just Okay
Great course layout. Staff is very friendly. Fairways are thin. Greens are not in the best shape. Don't believe it's really worth the money they are charging to play this course
My favorite course in the area
My cart got taken and I was put with another player. Not enough carts I was told. As a single player I accept and welcome that I will play with others but to be forced to share a cart is much different. It’s unacceptable. Just buy more carts or reduce the number of players. Also the drink carts has no gin and tonic. I was told gin didn’t sell well and was removed from the cart. Didn’t sell well? So? I’ve had my gin and tonic drinks for decades but no longer. I could get one at the turn I was told but there was no time to do that. The course, in my opinion, shows signs of being overplayed. The tee boxes on the par three holes are getting chewed up. And the apples…what happened to the apples? Jeezzz….
This course not worth 💯
Fairways dry , grass burnt up in late April , need water . Greens good . No where worth 100$ a round
Maybe 65
Enjoyable round. Some greens were a little "rough". Why do Retired Military (27 years) not eligible for military rate??
Great track
First time playing. Played in late April when the weather was excellent. Course was in good condition and a short drive from the Gulf Coast where my wife and I were staying. Green were good, about a 6 or 7. Fairways were good and the sand traps were well maintained. Overall good track worth playing.
Course is over priced for the condition of the course, greens full of poa anna, bunkers were very scruffy. Have played the course many times when in much better shape.
Good layout. Good conditions.
Good layout. Good conditions. Friendly staff. Adequate range and putting green. Had a lot of fun.
Charges
Paid $80. To play. Others in group paid $40 on golfnow.com. wanted to ride along in cart w/ husband because I have a back injury & cannot golf right now. That was an additional $25. Thus paid over $100. Really ridiculous. The course has a lovely setting but not golfer friendly..
Great course at the beach
1st time playing this course, in really good shape compared to other area courses. Greens were rock hard though so that made the greens really challenging.
Layout was nice, nice amenities. Will definitely come back.
