Very fun course though no driving range

Had read that the course suffered some damage due to a storm, but we had a terrific round. Not a long course but some truly beautiful holes and greens were solid for the value. Loved how the cart path wound through the neighborhood too - fun to ride! Twilight after noon was a bargain and will definitely return!

Course is steadily improving

Hadn't played the course since last year. They had damage to holes #1 & 10, 10 being changed to a par 3. They were out removing and trimming several trees, which will make it more player friendly. The greens were in. good shape and run true. The fairways were good and you could see on several holes have makings to improve irrigation. Worth trying if you haven't been there recently, but still has lots of room for improvement.

WORSE COURSE EVER

This was my first and last time on this God-awful course. Started bad by having to deal with an inept worker who didn’t have a clue as to what was going on. I asked him for a course overview because it was my first time and he had to ask someone what it was.
The course itself was another example of how bad it was. We spent about 15 minutes trying to figure out where the next hole was because the hole markers on many of the holes were not there or visible. The worst hole was 10, which I believe was a par 4 or 5 and it was across the wash but we couldn’t find it because there were no tee markers on the hole and no one at the desk told us about this.
It was the worst outing I ever had on a golf course.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND PLAYING HERE IT IS AWFUL

Okay if nothing better available

I have never played there before so we had no familiarly with the course. Would it really be that difficult to put a 150 stake in the fairway so we had a clue how far the green was. Lots of water hazards so not knowing the distance is a bit of a problem. There are a lot of nice holes so I suppose I would go back in a year when the repairs are done

Very old and poorly maintained

I’ll start off with; the greens were acceptable.
Other than the greens, it’s very ugly, poorly kept, very old, cart paths were horrible, signage was horrible, only one bathroom ( hole number 4).. Do not pay more than $50 for this place. The fairways are horrible. The T boxes are poorly kept. Spend your money elsewhere.

Hurricane in August wiped out much of this course, including the driving range. Two par 5’s now par 3’s.

Not a good value or course right now (Dec, 2023). Probably above average prior

Bitter Sweet

The course had a couple holes damaged from the past hurricane. That were shortened to par threes from par fives. Otherwise the course was very enjoyable to play.

The course had issues with 2022 flooding. Two par 5 holes were shortened to par 3, understandable. Balls were easy to lose in plain sight in the rough, uncut and type of grass. The lake course had a lot water hazards.

I enjoyed my day. Finished in 3 hours and 10 minutes alone. Often hit a second shot.

Course conditions

I know you are trying to get the course back in good shape, but you still have a ways to go. The fairways are still a little thin, the fringes are needing more grass and the greens are not quite filled in yet. The worst though is the cartpaths, the junky condition of the rough, the dead trees along the course and of course the hurricane damage.

Course needs major work

The only nice part are the greens. It's really run down from what it was. 1 and 10 were flooded so now par 3's. Starter didnt know too much , never told us the code to the washrooms and how far number 10 par 3 was. Our gps wouldnt work. The pavement is heaved, tee boxes and rough need lots of work.
