Tough course

Honestly, I would leave my driver at home if I played this course again. This course requires perfect ball placement and not the grip and rip mentality. Fairways are narrow and the wind was up today(which made it even more difficult). I used my 3wood and hybrids to keep the ball lower so the wind wouldn’t put it in the wrong fairway or in the water. All in all I will be back to beat my score(hopefully)

Nice course, getting even better

A great choice for anyone staying on the island, and I'd place it a full tier above the nearby off-island courses that cost about the same. Staff are super friendly and helpful. We went on a very cold and windy day and still really enjoyed the round. The back 9 was especially windy since it's more exposed to the soundside. There were a few maintenance projects in the way on a couple of holes (new cart paths, bridge/retention wall repairs), but that's understandable for the off-season and means they're still improving the already nice course.

Crystal Coast Golf Course

We’ve played CC many times.. They have done a lot of work landscaping & work on the course. CC also has a brand new clubhouse. I think the course is n the best condition I’ve seen n many years. It was a very enjoyable day.
