Very good course for the money

Course was in very good shape (other than bunkers). Fairways had a few thin spots but overall very playable. Greens were ok, rolled true but speed was inconsistent. Had a great time and our threesome played 18 in 2 and a half hours.

Nice layout. Biggest issue was cart gave out 4 holes left. Called clubhouse and they expedited a replacement immediately. Great , however the new cart barely made it back to clubhouse as it was not charged either. Besides that , they really need to paint tee markers as they are all faded the same

Great layout but has some issues

Played the course twice as it was the only course open in the area.
Great layout and played in 31/2 hours.
Cant be too hard as the entire area is still recovering from hurricane damage.
Bunkers were unplayable but rest of the course was in good condition .
Greens not fast but were smooth.
Will return after they've had time to recover .

Fazio design?? Really....

Played there for first time today, only because I wouldn’t pay the $119 they always wanted. Got a deal on GN, so figured I would try.
Very boring layout and design. Back and forth, back and forth. Nothing really special about any of the holes. Very disappointed for a Fazio design. By the time I got to the back 9, I almost fell asleep.
I play quite a bit, and love a good challenge - something that makes me focus, or at least has some character.
In all fairness, staff was super friendly, course was in good shape considering 2 hurricanes in last 3 months, greens weren’t bad either.
Not worth $119 buck though, and maybe not half that.
I’m sure I’ll play it again, but only if it’s a really cheap rate.
