good tract

well laid out, fun course. Well maintained. Starter was excellent, not so much for the staff in the clubhouse or the cart guys. Greens were zip fast. Would definitely play again.

Love the layout - lots of elevation changes. The staff couldn't have been nicer. However, the upkeep is missing, especially on the front 9. Weeds all over everywhere, all over the fairways. Either they lack a maintenance staff or just can't afford it. It's a real shame because it is a beautiful course. Played here 6 years ago, and the conditions were pristine, so maybe they just took a hit from Covid.

family friendly course

nice, friendly place. It is much more difficult than it appears. Well maintained. Some target golf, challenging, but not too much.

best kept secret

these 3 nines are fantastic. They are very well maintained and have plenty of obstacles for those who like a challenge. We always try to fit a round in here when we go to Vegas. My only complaint is that they are always booked.and it makes for a long round for those who think they are the big hitters but really are not. Obviously, other players have discovered this hidden gem.

a real hidden gem

what a lovely course...lots of elevation changes, quick greens, punitive rough. I would definitely play here again. It's not one of the big name courses around Traverse City, but it offers challenges and many rewards. The staff is very friendly, many clean, and I mean CLEAN porta potties, nobody pushing you. It was a very relaxing and rewarding round.

scarier than it looks

very, very difficult course, even from the forward tees. It certainly is a course you need to play more than once to get a feel for it. The greens were fast and undulating, however, it was about 97 degrees that day and we are seniors. That being said, I'm not certain I would recommend due to the fact there is absolutely no drinking water on the course - NONE - but of course you can buy a bottle of water for about 5 times what it would normally cost. We have played in this heat before and the courses we played always made sure we were hydrated...they even came out to the patrons with frozen bottles of water. The first and only comfort station is after hole 9, so you could be dead by then. Obviously they are only concerned with making $$$$ and won't even fill your bottles of water at the comfort station....I had to go into the ladies bathroom and use the faucet. Very disappointing.....for being so uppity and unwelcoming and pricy to boot. I can spend my money in lot better ways at courses that make me want to come back. Not so sure about this one......

desert golf at its best!

wonderful layout, friendly staff, 360 degree breathtaking views. Greens run fast, very hard to judge, and quite large. My only complaint was the inconsideration of the patrons who left thousand of untended ball marks on the greens. I guess they figure if they pay to play and it's not their home course, who cares.....well we DO!!!!!!! I would imagine with the heat and the dryness that the greens get unduly roughed up, but it makes it really difficult to roll a putt. Lovely, lovely course.

desert course at its finest

I absolutely love this course. Every time we get into Vegas, we make an effort to play here. Friendly staff, meticulously groomed fairways, rambling greens, beautiful scenery. I can't say enough about it....even if it is outside of the city, it is well worth the drive.

what a treat!

The course layout is challenging, many elevation changes, yet fair. Greens are difficult, very moundy, hard to read, quick, but rewarding. Can't say enough wonderful things about the staff. Our only problem was that on the back nine, it appeared a foursome started on 10, old coots, didn't much care if they held anybody up, apparently thought they owned the course themselves. This is our second time playing this course and loved it twice as much as we did the first time. Would highly recommend to golfers of every type. Look forward to playing it again next summer on vacation.

nice way to spend our anniversary

gorgeous course, well maintained, greens are really, really difficult to read. Pace was slow, but we knew we were behind an outing. Very, very hot day and there is not much shade, but would highly recommend this course. It has wonderful views, great rolling and sloping fairways, not much water comes into play.

lovely way to spend Easter Sunday

The course is well maintained. Challenging layout, very fast greens. Not much water to contend with, but you still have to strategically place your shots. Played this 2 years ago and a lot of the fairways were soggy, which was the same this time. It must be low ground, but we worked around it. Wouldn't deter me from coming back. Fair amount of bunkering, but bunkers are well maintained. Staff was very friendly. Would highly recommend.

nice way to spend Valentine's Day

the course is in excellent shape. Greens are a bit slow, but you get used to them. They need to have rangers out here. We were following a 5-some and I'd like to know on what planet that is allowable. Nowhere can you find someone to speed up play or keep an eye on the things; it's the same at all 3 Sandestin courses.

The staff in the clubhouse need to learn some people skills, very disappointed. I'm glad the course in and of itself made up for them or I would never consider coming back. If you don't like your job, get another one. Anyone who golfs wants to be greeted in a welcome manner - where else would you spend a ton of money to beat yourself up after chasing a little white ball?

great course, but pace of play was horrible

the course is in excellent shape. The views are incredible. The greens are difficult and huge. That being said, the pace of play was just horrible, and we played on a Monday at about noon. This is our 2nd experience here. We played in June and loved the course and thought we ran into some problem when it was all backed up....we were wrong....it is always like this. Don't know if we'll come back. Too bad, otherwise we loved it.

if you've got all day, this might be a good course

The course is challenging, lots of forced carries. Difficult to read greens. That being said, I have not had a worse experience in a long, long time. Over 3 hours for 9 holes, came in and got a raincheck for the other 9. Rangers are out there doing absolutely nothing to speed up play. Met a foursome who had a tee time at 11:15, it was after 5:00 and they were only on hole 15. Something is very wrong here. Lots of folks not knowing what they were doing or else just didn't care. Don't think I'll ever go back.

old style course

course is very player friendly, pretty straight overall. Some water, lots of things to think about. I really liked it, would play again. Not a lot of heather, but have to be careful where you land your shot. Friendly staff, absolutely gorgeous clubhouse.
