Okay given hurricane Irma, aeration

I've played this course many times because it's cheap and a decent layout. Obviously not a top or middle tier course at $25. The greens are never great; slow, impure, inconsistent speeds between greens. When I played this past Saturday, the greens had also been recently aerated, resulting in lots of holes and sand on them. They looked like they had a couple of weeks to go before being normal again. The tree damage from Hurricane Irma was visible, but didn't bother me, even though one huge tree was still stretched all the way across one of the par 3s (#10), becoming a forced carry. I would play this course over Hollywood Beach Golf Resort.

Perfect shape despite hurricane, nice layout

The greens, fairways, rough, and traps were in perfect shape, as if there had been no hurricane. There were a few piles of brush/branches on the sides of some holes that had not yet been removed. Regarding the course layout, it has different types of holes and green complexes. Not a crazy long course, but several individual holes are long. Nice, interesting course.

I've played this course a lot with the Premier Card (basically a card for locals, you pay an upfront fee to get discounted round prices during the summer months on a number of area courses). This course is just $35 with the Premier Card, as opposed to $120 without. I wouldn't pay $120 to play it given cheaper alternatives of good quality, such as Jacaranda or Plantation Preserve. But I can see how someone trying to squeeze in a round while on vacation would pay that.
