Diamondback GC

Nice “country” golf course with an interesting layout. Staff could not have been nicer. Greens were slow but the heat index had been quite high for 7-10 days prior with a significant amount of late afternoon thunderstorms and rain.
I would play it again when weather and termperatures improve.

Great inexpensive course

The course itself is a great layout with some decent challenge to the holes. The clubhouse however is a different story. Seemingly unkempt, foul smell, dirty restrooms (seriously), but plenty of potential. It is seemingly an older course and clubhouse that just needs some upkeep. Staff is friendly and food and drinks are good (and inexpensive also, recommend the chili dog special)

Disappointing

I can't recommend this place. It started with the staff inside the clubhouse seemingly very disinterested in pretty much everything. Though the layout of the course is quite challenging and fun, it is very poorly maintained. And the gas powered carts were a bit rough. The course has a lot of potential, but it will need a LOT of work to reach that potential..

Great course for the money

Course is always in good condition with water on majority of the holes. Tee boxes, fairways, greens have been cut every time we’ve played this course (we play it twice a month). Greens are on the soft side and don’t roll as fast as some of the other courses around the beach but best bang for your buck. Guy in the pro shop has no personality but Larry the ranger is the man

Tight course, but manageable

The first comment I have to make is on the staff. Everyone was so friendly, engaged me in conversation and made me feel like I have been playing there for years. Course is tight, but manageable if you can hit it straight. It was a beautiful sunny day with a bit of wind. Range balls are included in the price. I recommend the chicken salad for lunch. Have a great time!

Great Day in the course

Staff was helpful and friendly and the course was in great shape. Once we learned the layout from a prior play we knew where to position the ball.

Nice day at Diamondback!!

The 4 of us enjoyed our Round at Diamondback, the course was in great shape. The fairways were very nice and the greens were great. Along the course, we could see some improvements to landscaping, especially around some of the water holes, which I thought was a lovely touch. It was nt too busy , so the pace was very good. This course should appeal to most golfers, some holes are challenging, with water hazards and sand, but most are rolling fairways with trees along the sides. I only lost one ball !!😀👍🏻

Much better than expected

A very challenging layout with good conditions. We were pleasantly surprised. Playing the course a few times would definitely be beneficial for shot making.

Good condition

The course is in great condition. It’s a tougher course as many holes have tight fairways. Luckily was paired up with a couple of guys who play there regularly to give a little insight as to the layout.
