Great course

Great course, probably the best in the area. Minus a a couple of fairways getting repaired the course was in great shape. Some pace of play issues, but not any fault of the staff or course. Highly recommend to anyone in area.

Yes, play this course

Great short track with tight fairways and lotsa water. The course was in good shape, the greens were FAST and true. The grass is cut very short so you get a lot of tight lies around the greens. Staff was friendly and the pace was good.

Tees and greens are in great shape.

This is a coastal course with Sandy soil and bent grass greens. Tight fairways with bunkers. Glad I played here.

Beautiful course

This is is a beautiful course. The staff are always friendly . The layout is challenging but not overly hard for us mid range handicapers! We play here whenever we can find a deal on Golf now otherwise it can be a bit pricey!

Danger of hitting houses and people

First time on course and staff was amazing!! Fun course if you hit a straight ball, but anxiety producing if you hook or slice as the fairways have houses right on top of them.
When you don't have houses, you have fairways on either side so care must be taken so you don't hit someone or damage property. I found laying off the power helped at the cost of distance, but I was okay with that. Still, I would play this course again, because it's beautiful, challenging, and the staff is top notch!

Carts don’t work well

Greens are very good. Smooth and fast. Tees and fairways are decent. Fairways are thin for a Country Club. Carts are a problem. My cart told me to get back on the cart path when I was in the middle of the fairway on the 150 yard marker. At one point , it stopped me and told me to get on the cart path when I was on the cart path.
