Shot-shaper's delight!
The course is short, but shots require some real thought, especially from the tee. Expect semi-blind tee shots. I recommend purchasing the yardage book or having a golf GPS app on your phone. Know your safe landing areas!
The greens were large, and the pins could be challenging given the course layout. No big undulations in the greens.
Missing from the tee could spell disaster to your score. There are marshy areas throughout, and give the wind full consideration since the course is adjacent to a bay.
Sneaky fairway bunkers. While the rough was not deep, the grass was "grabby". Do not expect your ball to 'sit up' in this rough.
I only whipped out my driver twice (holes No. 1 and 18 - both par 5s). The par-5 No. 11 begs for a carry of the marsh (~275 yds), but the wind will dictate whether or not you should attempt it. It is a dogleg right after this marsh. If you can make the second shot, it will call for a draw. Just do not lose it right. There is marsh covering the right of the green, and a deep bunker front left.
The course makes you think a bit. Only a handful of fairways are "wide open". Tee shots can play with your eyes a bit, so make sure your alignment is spot on.
Course was in okay shape. It certainly was not in as good of shape as one would expect given it is a resort course. From a pure "golf" standpoint, it is a fun course because you must consider 'the leave'.
If you are a shot-shaper, I think you will enjoy this course.
The Course
Course was in poor shape. The greens were terrible! One green was just hard gray dirt!!! It was terrible! It’s not the same bridges from years ago, that’s for sure!! I’m glad I didn’t pay $105. Thank God I had free vouchers!!! Never again!
A course with some elevation changes
Nice layout and challenging. Greens need some TLC.
Not worth the visit
little to no grass on the greens, mostly hard packed dirt or mud. The pace of play was abysmal, 4hr 45 min on a week day. Too many singles and twosomes on the course behind a tournament evidently, no player assistance to keep things moving. Definitely not worth going back to and surely not worth the Hot Deal even on Golf Pass
Stupid Pin Placement
The pin placement was stupid.
This is not challenging its stupid to put a pin on a downhill slope going with the grain.
I was hitting shots 4 ft from the flag and could even get it in the cup after 4 putts.
Not fun at all.
A couple of times we just picked up and went to the next hole.
Why would they do this?
Golf is supposed to be fun, this wan the furthest thin from fun I have ever had on playing golf.
Will never play there again.
Day out golfing
We enjoyed our round of golf and the challenge was inviting. The course is well maintained.
The Bridges
I love the course design. Overall, you have to bring your A game to score well here. I was not prepared for the biting gnats. While playing the last 9 I thought the gnats would carry me away.
The course was overbooked and I had to wait to play each shot, each hole. It took me 5 hours to complete my round.
The course layout is so unique that I would recommend this course to my close friends.
Awesome
Absolute must play course! Friendly staff, fun and challenging course with great scenery…beautiful and tough
