Fun course with an Awesome 16th hole by the Ocean

The staff was very friendly and happy to have me there at their course.

The course is in decent shape, except the bunkers are bad. The bunkers are being redone so right now they are bad, but when they are completed they will be very nice. The layout is fun and somewhat challenging. There is lots of water hazards. For paying $200 I expected the course to be much nicer and in much better condition, but the course went through a MAJOR hurricane less than 9 months ago, so I didn't expect too much as far as pristine course conditions.
The greens were a little shaggy and bumpy.
The highlight of the course is hole #16 which sits right next to the ocean (hence the name Ocean Course). The scenery and ocean were spectacular. The wind coming off the ocean make the long, par 3 hole very challenging.
I really enjoyed playing the course except for the bunkers. Hole #16 makes the entire round very worth while.
The clubhouse is closed due to renovation. The temporary clubhouse is a portable trailer.

Unlevel tee boxes

It was a good course for $100 after the discount. But to pay full price would have been a let down. There was only 1 hole close to the ocean. I was expecting more holes by the ocean for a course named an “ocean course”. More than half of the tee boxes are unlevel. It leaves the ball above or below your feet

Totally wet

The course was totally wet. The golf carts GOS
Shut down tour carts because they said we were off the cart paths but we were not. This happened on at least 7 holes . The groups behind us had the same problem.
I would check if it’s golf carts only and not play if it is

Beautiful Course, Horrible Pace of Play

Fun course with beautiful scenery. Well kept with a semi-challenging layout. Course was well stocked with waters and other amenities, only thing lacking was enforcement on pace of play which really ruined the day for my group and those behind us.

This course is very overpriced

My father and I travel a good bit to golf, and I have to say this is easily one of the worst courses I’ve played condition-wise for how much the round costs for resort guests. The greens were different speeds, the fairways were bare in many spots, and the rough was not nicely maintained, with varying types of grass throughout. The staff members were all friendly and helpful. I just know for $160; I’d never play this course or even try the other ever, especially with a course like Bahia, a short drive away for only about $90 more.

Not really an Ocean course

You can’t call it Ocean course and have just one hole by the ocean. And that par 3 just had an ocean view and not on the ocean. And it was cart path only so lots of waking in muddy conditions due to rain earlier in the week. Now that’s okay if the price is reduced but paying $160 per person and then $70 to rent clubs made for a super expensive and super long round of golf
