Wow great shape.

This course is in awesome shape. They recently built a new clubhouse and rearranged the holes to work around that. I had been here earlier and the course condition was OK at best. But WOW have they done work here. This time the greens, fairway and rough were PERFECT. One of my playing partners commented that he thought at first the grass was fake around the practice green because it was so flawless. The layout it very tricky with tight fairways and water crossing the fairways.

Great day at Shell Point

Course and staff were excellent. Due to Covid 19 no refreshments on course or at snack bar. Still a great day on an excellent course.

Shell Point is in Excellent Condition

If you've ever played Shell Point before, you know it is a nice course that has tee boxes to challenge all golfers. The course is in pristine shape now! I'll be playing here again soon!

First time played since overhaul.

We have played this course numerous times in the last few years and always felt it was a top notch course. Last year and this year the course was totally reseed. It is absolutely gorgeous. Feels like you're playing a PGA professional course. Highly recommend this course.

The course is tight

Overall the course is good but a lot of the holes are very tight and a lot of gimmick holes. You need to hit it in the middle we played the upper tees so a lot of times it wasn’t driver

Course in great condition.

Course was in excellent shape. Staff were all pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable.

My only criticism concerns the layout. There are 4 holes where brooks running across the fairway come into play off the tee. It would be very helpful if yardages to and over the brooks were posted on those tees.

Good Value - Good Course

The course is in very nice condition and enough of a challenge for a high handicapper like me. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had booked a second round that was canceled because of the course closing due to the Coronavirus. I will definitely try to book again next year.

A virtual round of golf

My review is based on what I could see from an empty parking lot. The notice on the bag drop said - 3/18/20 Golf operations are closed. Please check our website for further details.
As a GN customer Shell Point would have my email address, they could have let me and other GN customers know the course was shut. It seems to be the only one in the area that is closed.
Hopefully I will get a credit from Golf Now. Looking at the GN web site there is no way, other than this of bringing the problem to GN's attention.
Incidentally the course is shut until 31st March for anyone who was thinking of playing there. http://www.shellpointgolf.com
