Omni Amelia Island Resort - Ocean Links
Played On 06/24/2016Not the best place on a hot day
This review is tempered by the fact that it was nearly 100F when I played. The holes on the ocean are as beautiful as many you'll ever see on a links course, but the inland holes weren't that enjoyable and without a breeze were at times unbearable. Greens were excellent. Fairways were average. Bermuda rough was extremely thick, particularly for a tight course. Pace of play was slow and not monitored well enough, in my opinion. TaylorMade rental clubs were excellent. Don't let short yardage fool you. It's a tough course, particularly if you don't keep your tee shot in the fairway. I'd give the course another shot on a cooler day, but in general not my style.
TPC Sawgrass - Dye's Valley Course
Played On 06/21/2016Great afternoon of golf
Played June 21st at 3:35 PM for $90. Played in <3 hrs with son as twosome with new Taylor Made M2 rentals. Driving range was closed but it's more important to practice putting and chipping. I'm 54 with an 8 handicap and not a long hitter. Played the mixed tees.
What followed was a thoroughly enjoyable and challenging round of golf. Par 4s and 5s challenging and par 3s playable. Greens still had some sand from aeration 3 weeks ago but rolled well. Very firm and had a few good shots roll off the back until I got used to them. Fairways in great shape. Water on so many holes wears you down by the time you're midway through back 9. Must be accurate off the tee. Shot 39-43 and very happy.
Staff was great. I would definitely play again.
