Tough Course - Bring your A Game!

Played in 25-30 mph wind. Tough course in the wind. Bunkers are on the penal side. Greens have steep falloffs on sides and behind (often with water behind!). So your iron play has to be sharp. Gotta be on your game here.

Course was in very good condition. Greens were great.

Great Palmer design.. Pricey but lunch was included so it ended up being more reasonable. Don't leave Classic Club off of your Palm Springs rota!

Pricey, But a great course!

Playing here was a bit pricey, but offset by $25:vouchers for lunch at their great restaurant. But what a course! Beautiful Arnold Palmer design. Fabulous condition. A fair course from the proper tees.

Very good course close to everything

Shingle is a nice Palmer design. Pretty open but plays longer - little roll in the fairways. Every hole is unique, there is no feeling of sameness. A very nice collection of Par 3s.

Nice track but a bit repetitive

Eagle Creek is a nice track, wide open and plays longer than its yardage indicates. Some rolling terrain. But, except for the 18th and the par 3s, it seems a bit boring and repetitive.

Pin positions go front-middle-back. So all of the Par 3s have the same pin positions, and all were back. From the FORWARD tees, the shortest par 3 was 180 yards and this seems stupid to me.

Eagle Creek is a very good course and easily accessible. One of the better courses you can play. Strong design but easily playable for all levels. Par 3s are demanding.

Good course, pretty open

Shingle Creek is a good course with good conditions. Lacking a little bit in pizazz. But I recommend playing it. Pretty open off the tee. Troubles come if you go left, right or long of the green.

Excellent layout but Par 3s and 5s a real challenge

Eagle Creek, the home course for UCF, is an excellent layout for a residential course. Total yardage from the "regular" tees is manageable, but par 3s are a real challenge (very long and well protected) and only one par 5 is less than 500 yards. To compensate, several par 4s are very short. Would have appreciated some of the par 4s to be a little longer and then get relief on par 3s and par 5s.

Wonderful course, a little pricy

Very good layout. Great course conditions despite Sedona having had a LOT of rain. Greens were fast and putted true. I gave the total experience 4 stars - wanted to give it 4-1/2. Front 9 (RTJ Senior design) is mostly flat but moderately demanding. Back 9 (RTJ Junior design) has nice elevation changes and is demanding.. Seemed a little pricy for a semi-private course. BUT...I'd love to return. Would play Oakcreek and Sedona Golf Club and skip Seven Canyons, an uninspired Weiskopf course.

Good layout, but 5+ hour round is a nullifier

TPC Tampa Bay was a good track, in very good condition (but some crab grass infiltrating some greens). But it took 5:20 to play. I'm used to playing in 3:40 at my home course. Glad I played it, but I won't come back - over 5 hours is a nullifier.

Hello, we apologize pace of play was not up to par. Our staff explained to the group ahead of yours to split up, and they played a fivesome against our request. We have addressed this issue and we hope you give us another chance in the future.

Good layout, needs some conditioning

Strong layout (6,200 yards for the White Tees) and a nice design. But I do not like to see intrusion of crabgrass in the rough let alone in the fairways or on the greens. Bunkers need some TLC.

Hello Bret, thank you for taking the time to review our course, The Golf Club at Hilton Head Lakes, and for the 3-stars. We are sorry to hear about the crabgrass sprouting up throughout the course and that the bunkers may need some care. Your feedback is appreciated so that we know where further improvements can be made. Though, we are glad to hear that you still enjoyed the course layout and it looks like your round was a great value. Thank you for recommending our course, in the South Carolina area, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.

When the wind blows....

Very good layout. Mostly wide open off the tee, making this a strong second shot course. Mediocre conditions: I worried about flier lies ON THE TEES. Tees, fairways and fringes need mowing. But just as you think Eagle Trace is an easy track, the wind comes up. Into a 3 club wind, several holes, particularly 9 and 18, are really hard. All-in-all, a fun track, with the wind costing me 4 to 6 shots.

Fun Day at Savannah Harbor

Played Savannah Harbor alone and pro shop let me go off the back 9. Consequently, I got around in 3 hours. Course is not overly challenging from the 6,300 yard tees, but the course was in fabulous condition. It's a fun course and where the Champions Tour used to play.

Good course, hidden gem

Grande Pines is a good course, challenging but not overly difficult. (Like me, you can make it difficult!) It is wide off the tee but often narrows at the well bunkered greens. Requires sharpness with your irons. Course was in great shape despite the oppressive heat. I'll be back.

Slow but true greens on an impecably maintained course.

I'm a former member at Dutchess and am happy they are allowing outside play. An absolutely GREAT VALUE at $55 weekdays. Played in 3:20. The greens were a bit slow but they rolled true. Was told by a member that they had been aerated 3 weeks ago and are probably scheduled to be cut and rolled shortly. Otherwise, the course was in great condition - well maintained fairways, generous first cut and thick rough. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great course, great price, great staff. Looking for a return visit or two or three or four.
