Fast round

Greens are slow but in good condition. Lots of water but manageable. The range is in barely playable and range balls are not in good shape, At less than 40.00 dollars in the summer it was a good deal but would not pay more. Played in the afternoon and saw no one out there,

Very nice

I played the course on three occasions over the past week and I can tell you a few things. First it is hard to find, as most GPS systems don't have it listed or they route you through parts of the neighborhood that are not complete. Found google maps to be better than my vehicle gps. The course opened about 6-8 weeks ago and it is in great condition the greens roll true and are fairly fast. On a windy day the course becomes much tougher as there is only a few houses built around it. pace of play was great in the mornings, but can get very slow in the afternoons. I would highly recommend playing it now because in a few years as more houses are built, it will become very crowded and I suspect a lot more expensive. At this time the clubhouse is in a trailer and as such there are few choices for food although they have plenty of drinks and a free ice and water machine. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I will definitely play again.

Outstanding

Played the first tee time in the morning at 8:00 so there was no pace of play issues. All of the course staff that I interacted with during the three days I played there were outstanding. The club house is very well stocked and the attendants were very friendly and helpful. The food at the restaurant was also above average with great service. This is the "easier" of the two courses on property but it is still challenging with great views of the lake in the middle holes. If you are looking for tough , play the mountain course, for a very enjoyable day play this gem. Highly recomend.

good round

The golf course has no range and the conditions in general I would call ok, the clubhouse is very old - but it has a great atmosphere as the staff is very friendly and helpful. Although the fairways can be a little worn out in some places the greens are in very good shape. The course itself is short and tight and kind of quirky but I truly enjoy the challenge. At this time of the year it is a very good value and would recommend it for a casual round.

Wet

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the greens were in very good shape. It is a nice routing with some very scenic views but the entire golf course was very wet although it had not rained in the three days prior, Due tom its conditions I think it is somewhat overpriced.

Destination Golf course

In any other place this would be the best golf course in the area - but Punta Cana being such a hot vacation destination La Cana is probably one of the top three alongside Cap Cana and Arrecife.Make no mistake this is a destination golf Course.

The Hacienda nine starts in the back of the property and weaves itself through this area . It is probably the most challenging of the nines that include some very fast greens and water hazards in some holes. There are houses built on the edges of some of the fairways , but they are barely visible and do not come in play for the most part.Holes 4 and 6 where the stand outs of this nine,

The Tortuga Nine- starts from the clubhouse and begins the journey out to the beach culminating on hole 4 with a par five with an ocean view from the green and hole five a par three right on the beach where a slice into the prevailing wind will end up in the ocean. Avery difficult approach into the the water surrounded green on the par four 6 follows making it the toughest hole in this nine.Number 7 green is also adjacent to the beach. This nine finishes on the elevated green on number nine that gives you a very nice view of the whole area.In contrast to the Hacienda nine these greens are a lot slower, specially during summer months.

The arrecife nine was closed for maintenance during my visit but this is the crown jewel of this course,. The finishing two holes run along the beach and are absolutely gorgeous with this nine also featuring an island green.

Caddies are suggested although not required but are an absolute bargain at 30,00 us per cart.The staff was very friendly and the clubhouse has an open air bar perfect to have a drink after the round.

i have written quite a few reviews for this website and this is one of the very few that I have given 5 stars. This is most definitely a cant miss golf course for the avid golfer where beautiful holes along the ocean and and a great design marry to produce a challenging (specially in the wind) and memorable experience.

Basic Golf

This is just basic golf. The grass on the range was in bad shape and the range balls where in worst condition. The fairways had very thin grass with bare spots visible. The best part of the golf course where the greens, these where in good condition although very SLOW. I found the design to be uninspired, I really cant remember a single hole that stood out. The people at the course where very friendly and has a surprisingly well stocked pro shop. They do have some of the lower rates in the area (55.00 us dollars) but if you are in Punta cana for vacation I would recommend you spend more money and play some of the other courses in the area that are much better. Most of the courses on the area that have good-great condition cost more than double (hard Rock, Iberostar) at over 100.00 but if you are on vacation it is worth to spend the money and not waste time in course that is probably in worst condition than your local Muni.

Great resort course

Outstanding Resort course. Every aspect of the course was in great condition from the range to the tee boxes and fairways to the greens. As it is the middle of summer the greens where on the slow side but in immaculate condition.As this course is part of an all inclusive resort the green fees include range balls, and anything you like from the bar cart including beer and sandwiches making the 125.00 us guest fee a good deal.Resort guest fee is 65-80 us depending on the season.
Pace of play was excellent, I played here on the day of my arrival and our threesome got to the course at 4pm hoping to play 9 holes (sunset was 7:00 pm) . We where able to play all 18. The design is very practical starting with some easy holes in the front nine getting tougher as the round progresses. The finishing three holes are outstanding making it a very memorable round.

Great Greens

The golf course is in very good condition with the tee grounds and fairways very well maintained. If you hit a good tee shot you will get a good lie. The greens are in perfect condition running true and with good pace for the middle of summer, Great front nine but the back nine starts with a par 5 then a 4 but being a par 70 six if the next seven holes are par 4 and it got a little monotonous. The two par fives are nice but hit the same club into three of the par 3's. Great clubhouse with excellent service. The is NO RANGE but with two practice greens.

Very Nice golf course

Played in the late afternoon and pace of play was excellent. The course is in very good condition with well manicured tees and fairways. The greens where a bit on the slow side but that is expected this time of the year. Has a good range with a very friendly staff. The layout is very good with a really nice mix of different holes. Although located in a residential neighborhood. You barely see any houses and very little out of bounds comes into play although there are plenty of other hazards.

Solid great Golf

I was truly impressed with the condition of the fairways and the majority of the teeing grounds. Although the greens where on the slow side the putted well and are in good condition. The bunkers look rough but have plenty of sand and play well.Pace of play on a Sunday afternoon for our twosome was under 3.5 hours and we could have played faster if we wanted but we did not see anybody until the 16th hole. The design itself is really good with lots of elevation changes with more than a few blind tee shots into a lot of doglegs. The course is tight but you will need your driver plenty , especially on holes 2-5 long par fours with three of them over 400 yards playing from the white tees (6500 yds total). The front nine plays long and difficult but the back nine gives you plenty of scoring opportunities. The course is walkable if you don't mind the elevation changes. It has a range in very good condition although the range balls need to be replaced. The clubhouse is small but charming with a terrace overlooking the 18th hole with a decent cafeteria good for sandwiches or hot dogs. The staff was attentive and friendly. At 38.00 weekend afternoon and 32.00 weekday afternoon (after 1:00 pm) this is a very Good value. There are a few homes on the property but they are barely visible- I did not see a single white stake anywhere. This is good , no added frills solid golf 20-30 minutes from Richmond. I highly recommend it.

Good course

Golf course conditions are very good. Most of the bunkers in the curse have been re built over the last two years. Others complain about the range- well after the redisign the range is located at the former site of an uphill golf hole making it strange but usable. The design itself is good with the exception of 11 and twelve. These two holes would be good stand alone holes but they are built adjacent to each other so if you slice or push your ball you might end up playing the 11th from the 12th fairway and vice versa. I would rate the condition of the fairways and tees very good with the greens in excellent condition. The staff is very friendly and the food is excellent at the remodelled restaurant. This is not a highlight course but a good one that I would highly recomend.

Needs repair but still very good

We teed of at 8:00 Am and where able to finish in 3:40. The greens are in excellent shape and putt true. Unfortunately the rest of the course is in need of some of some repair. The tee grounds where pretty bare and the fairways area little thin but playable, fairway bunkers are basically dirt but the greenside bunkers do have nice playable sand that looks like it was recently poured. Even with these issues the beauty of course and design where very apparent. If you are looking for a perfectly manicured golf course you will not enjoy this one, but if you are looking for a solid round at an affordable price this will be a great selection. I hope that they do some work on the course over the next year as I will be back next March and would like to play again in better conditions. I do recommend this course.

Typical tree lined Hilton Head GC

I found the front nine a bit boring while the back nine some some very nice holes including a very dramatic risk or reward par 5 finishing hole. Over all condition of the course was good although it still shows some signs from the hurricane that came through last year. The starter told us to stay bellow the flags because the greens where fast, Well he has most definitely right as no one in our foursome made anything from above the hole longer than three feet and we all putted of the green at least once. The range is narrow and at this time you need to hit from Mats. It is also very short as the distance to the end of the range is only 235 yds. The grill has a good selection of sandwiches and salads and all employees we came into contact treated us very well. Overall it is a typical Hilton Head golf course.
not the most memorable, but certainly enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it as a good "fill in"

Great course

The course was in great condition , specially for this time of the year. The greens are in good shape and the fairways are also very good while the bunkers are in excellent shape. Although there are home on the perimeter of some fairways, they really do not come into play at all, unlike the majority of other golf courses in the area.The 9,10 and 13 holes have great views of the intercoastal water way. The course plays true to its card distance , long drivers will really enjoy the course. The staff was very friendly and professional.

Top 5 golf course

The greens had some rough patches and where running slow and the Pro shop had very little merchandise- Having said that the golf course in general is in great shape and the routing around the marshlands is impeccable. They tell me that these are the three toughest finishing holes in Myrtle Beach, I am not sure about that but 16 is definitely one of the most beautiful and difficult par 4 not only in the area but anywhere. As I putted out of 18 , I saw a group about to tee off on 1, and at that point I was jealous. I wanted to go right back out. Over the past five years I have played over forty courses in the area and this is definitely in my top five. I highly recommend it.

Just Good

Because it has water in so many holes, the pace of play can come to a crawl- Over all the staff was friendly enough but not great. The course is in good condition and the greens although on the slow side they do run true . The ninth hole is the signature hole and it is very memorable , unfortunately the rest of the course seemed just ok. The course is very open and you can use your driver plenty, but on days with winds over 10 mph it does play long.For the winter price of 40-50 dollars it was a good deal as it also included lunch and two beers.

Nice balance of holes-

Very nice golf course in excellent condition for early winter. Although we where limited to cart paths only my twosome was able to play in 3hrs 20 min. We teed of at 9:00 am and we where the second group out- they don't seem to get a lot of play in the early morning, I think this is due because they are on the northern end of MB. By the time we finished, most of their carts where already out st 12:30.The range had real grass and in very good condition. The greens where on the slow side , but very playable and rolled true. The lay out is well balanced with a good mix of holes with the par 5 standing out, especially 17. My only complaint is that this course is in a residential community and there are houses bordering almost every hole and I simply hate white stakes.For the most part , my driver stayed in the bag using it on six holes while playing from the Crimson tees (6,400 yds). I did have a great time and I recommend it especially with winter rates bellow 50.00.

Rough shape

Two very different nines. The front nine was built about eleven years ago and is very tight as it wonders through a residential development, the back nine is more mature with wider fairways . A lot of blind tee shots on this back nine. The condition of the front nine fairways was barely playable while the back nine was in fair condition. The greens where posibly the slowest I have played in years. The pace of play was agonisingly slow as my group was cought behind two foursomes of members- I would sugest playing in the afternoon. The range was also in bad shape. The clubhouse is a very smalll and very poorly stocked . On the other hand the 19th hole , a small restaurant on premises offered a variety of local foods at a good price and is a great place to sit and have a drink after the round. This is pretty much basic golf and if you approach it that way you will enjoy it, otherwise you might be dissapointed. I have played this course on previous occasions and this time it was in the worste shape I have seen it in years.

Worth the drive

From the moment you drop of your bag until they place your bag back in your car the service is first class. All the staff we came in contact with was very attentive and helpfull. The pro shop is one of the best stocked I have seen anywhere. The practice facility is tour quality with range balls included in the green Fees. The front nine routes around some protected marsh land with water coming into play in seven holes, making the front nine the hardest of the two. The back nine is fun with plenty of scoring holes as it wonders itself to magnificent views of the ocean on holes 16 and 18. Week day pace of play was great as we only saw a couple of groups a few holes behind us. The fairways are in great condition. Although there where some rough spots on a couple of greens overall the greens where good if anything a bit on the slow side. Bunkers throughout the golf course are kept very well with my one complaint being that the sand in them contains some pebles (I could not identify what type of sand it is but it is defiantely not standard silica). Water bottles are provided in the cart at the begining of the ropund and a very friendly staff member would go by every few holes offering more (at no cost) and cold towels. We had lunch at the turn and food was excellent with local specialties as well as regular resort fare available. One caveat- the food is great but on the expensive side. We had a cuban sandwich , a wrap a coke and a beer and the bill was 43.00 before tip.

Overall a great experience and a good value if you book through one of the tee time services. Standard rack rates are over 200.00 dollars while tee time are available in the 75-95 range on these services (these are limited every day, one of the ways they keep traffic down and pace of play). The resort is located 30-40 minutes from any San Juan hotel and it is definatelly worth the ride, if for anything the views on 16 and 18.
