What a chill course!
My wife (not a golfer) looked around and found this course, but wasn’t confident enough to purchase the round for my birthday (we were going to be in the area). I checked it out and snatched up the hot deal right away.
The picker was down, so I couldn’t warm up on the range, but I was able to start early instead.
The course is well laid out and well marked. There are not a lot of “gotchas” to worry about, so it played very straight forward. The tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens were all in great shape and the pace of play was excellent. there were several spots where the cart path was being repaired, but that was not an issue because I’m happy to see a golf course making necessary repairs.
This was a very enjoyable, no stress round. I recommend this course!
nice coarse
no beverage cart are water on coarse. need atleast one of those.
Vacayion
Came to Gulfport on vacation and found this course.
I played from the tips since it was only 6200 yards. The fairways were very nice. The greens had been punched recently but they rolled pretty good. They were a little slower than what I am used to back in Georgia. Shot 78.
Fun little course
Pace of play is absolutely horrid.. only downside of this course… took us 3.5 hours to get through 9
Sunkist
Course is tight but we’ll taken care of. Booked through app and prepaid for 45 dollar rate, arrived at course and they wanted an extra 20 per person was only downfall.
Nice course
Sunkist was pretty straight forward, but the raised and elevated greens provided some defense of the course!
It was.the first time playing this track and I'd recommend it to any level player !
Nicely laid out with a fantastic staff!
You'll enjoy it!
Better be sticking your irons.
The course is not all that long even from the tips. What makes this course good are the greens. They have nice speed and are much smaller than they appear. Many of the greens have severe slopes near the edge which repel shots away from the putting surface. Play to the middle of the green is good strategy on this course. Thoroughly enjoyed the round and will be back.
Great value for the money.
Was very impressed with the condition of the greens. Course was damp due to rain but fairways were relatively dry. Tee boxes were below average. Practice range and facilities are below average. Staff is very friendly. Overall, it’s a good place to play.
The course is in great shape.
The course is in the best shape I’ve seen it in years. My group will continue to play there regularly!
