When we arrived, we were told that we needed to return the cart no later than 5pm. Closing early because of the Thanksgiving holiday and it was going to get dark. That left us to play our round in less than four hours (Tee time was 1:21pm). We were behind a group who was constantly having to wait for the group in front of them. As a result, we were able to play 16 our of 18 holes. If the course knows that they are not going to be able to have persons finish, then why the full price or a small reduction in the "retail" price? Should have been a greater reduction in cost.

Please be aware that at least three holes (#1, #2, #16) when I played were reduced to par 3's because of the need to improve the fairway conditions. As mentioned by other reviewers, winter conditions played havoc with the fairways. There are currently a number of bare spots. The three holes mentioned have or will have sod placed and I'm assuming it will be a few weeks before those holes can return to their former conditions. Given the condition of other fairways, I'm assuming that this will be a rolling condition for this course in the weeks/months to come. It would be a good thing for FL to let potential patrons be aware of those conditions so they are not surprised when they show up. Fees should reflect that as well. As always, the layout is good. More mowing would be helpful in some areas. It's tough sometimes to find balls when the rough is as deep around the greens as it is. Love playing the course.

This course needs a marshall or at least a starter. First, the course conditions were average at best, especially on the back nine. Tee boxes were uneven and very torn up on most holes. Obvious that the course has been pretty wet. But, that wasn't the biggest issue. Tee time was scheduled for 1:50. Showed up after being on the range, knowing I was going to walk the course. Also, had signed up as a single expecting to play with a least a threesome., and was shocked to see what were obviously two or more foursomes waiting to play. The first foursome was teeing off and although late, had finished by their allotted time. Not very talented, so knew it was going to be slow. The next foursome then stepped up ready to hit from the teebox. I asked them what their tee time was. WITHOUT ANY EXCUSE OR APOLOGY, THEY INDICATED THAT THEIR TIME WAS 1:21. They were a half hour late. Another person called them on it, and we merely got a shoulder shrug. They then proceeded to play at a less than ideal pace throughout the round. A two some who joined us skipped from #8 to #10 just to get past both groups. Inexcusable that no one was there to enforce this foursome not waiting until there was an opening before they jumped in. May prevent me from playing the course again.

Pictures on the web make it look like the course is wide open. It's not. It's an older course, but very well maintained. Very much a course in the middle of a housing development. However, challenging in places. For short hitters like me, the par 4's are reachable; the par 3's are often over water, making them challenging. I enjoyed this course and will definitely plan to return.

I’m just a hacker, but decided to play while vacationing in Maui. Read several negative reviews before playing. Either the course staff read them, too and took the to heart, or those other folks are just cranky. Fairways and tee boxes in great shape. Greens were recovering from aeration but were challenging without that. Played this course instead of the Royal course. Glad I did as the views were spectacular. Enjoyed the round

Some fun holes that challenge any level of golfer. Playing the course more than once will help with set up and where to hit the ball on some fairways. Because it's 9 holes, the layout is a little tight, making for narrow fairways. Ball control is key

As a twosome, we were put behind a foursome. Their pace was OK, and after the 2nd hole, they let us play through. We found that throughout the course. However, as we started to progress on the back nine, the cart started to act up. When we reached the 16th hole, the cart had run out of gas. It took several minutes for the course to get someone to us to replace the cart. Also, the driving range is currently not useable because of a need to replace the motor in their "picker." It's tough to play when you really don't have a chance to warm up first. Hope those small issues are resolved before the next time I choose to play
