In Great Shape For a Course Near the Coast
(Out of Towner/Vacationer Review)
The course was in good shape and well maintained. The greens, fairways, and tee boxes were not as cut back as one would look for at a typical course. But I think this is just a product of being a course near the ocean and trying to keeping the grass from dying. There were a few greens that had some rough spots, but again overall in good shape and roll pretty true.
Will be back.
The course was going under a lot of maintenance at the time I played. With that being said I wish it was discounted instead of full price. I had a 7:12 am tee time and the sun rise was beautiful on the laguna madre view. The greens were in good condition, fairways needed work as a lot of maintenance was going on and the tee boxes were still fresh new patches of grass so they still need to do Something about that I couldn’t see my ball while teed up.
Tee Boxes under renovation
We come to SPI at least once a year and look forward to getting a round in with my son when we’re down there. It’s the best course near the island. However it seems like there’s always some kind of maintenance going on when we go (typically travel down there during the summer months). This time the greens were in fairly good condition. But the tee boxes were being worked on. I know they did the best that they could but some of the temp boxes were in terrible spots / condition. I realize golf courses are always under maintenance more often than not. My only request would be that this be reflected in the price with some kind of discount. Regardless the staff is always friendly and the food at the grill is pretty good. I’ll be back next year.
Terrible Conditions
They told me that there were temporary tee boxes but that the rest of the course was in great condition. Overall, there is so much dead grass - I know there has been a water problem. The temporary tees all play like forward tees, and a handful are so bad that they put driving range mats down. It was a waste of time playing, and I normally love playing any sort of golf. They also only take off 15%. It is not worth anywhere near $70. Tony Butler is so much better even though I have to drive 35mins
Tees GUR
Tee boxes are all under tepair. The course has lost a lot of grass in the rough so the fairways are ok and greens are good. Balance of course is very much just dirt. Course needs much attention!!
Conditions have deteriorated, but still full price
I've played this course about once a year for several years. This was the worst condition I have ever seen it in,. All of the tee boxes were being re-done, so we played all 18 holes from forward, temporary tees, mostly in very poor condition. This radically shortened the course. For example, all par 3s were less than 100 yards. Also, they have sprayed weed killer around the fringe of several greens and in large areas of the fairways, so all these areas are bare. Yet they still charge the full amount as if the course was in good condition.
Also, there is no drinking water on the course. There is a bottle refill station outside the pro shop, but it doesn't work.
At least the greens are still mostly good, and, where they haven't been sprayed with weed killer, the fairways are OK.
Goat patch
It’s regrettable what’s happened to this golf course, wrong chemicals applied to the course and burned it up. All tee boxes are having to be redone greens are in sorry shape yet they still want you to pay full price for a round of golf. This is a goat patch masquerading as a golf course. Definitely not worth the money. Stay away
Poor condition
The current course conditions are terrible, dead grass everywhere except for fairway that are not in the best shape either. Almost all tee boxes are being replaced due to dead grass so tee boxes are temporarily moved either to the women’s tee box or off to the sides. For the price of a round not worth the money!
Horrid Conditions and Incompent Marshal
Course was in horrible condition which is unfortunate as it has the potiential to be possibly the most naturally beautiful courses in the RGV. The course layout is nice and features interesting holes that requires a variety of shots. Marshal was incompent and unable to maintain pace of play. We waited on every shot for the group in front, had the Marshal tell us to speed up the pace of our play despite us not being out of position. Meanwhile the complaining group behind hit into us while speaking with the Marshal.
Poor condition
Every hole had chemical burns, from misuse of chemicals. Should alert patron prior or reduce green fees. Also mosquitoes were beyond belief. Have played cours before and was in excellent condition, this time it was badly damaged.
Course needs a lot of work:(
I have played this course quite a bit, used to be a member. Came back for work trip and was very disappointed in the course condition. Great track and challenging but whoever is managing the course sure blew it! Dead grass everywhere, dirt tee boxes and dead areas around the green. Hopefully they will get this corrected but they have a lot of work a head of them.
Staff is great and I enjoy the 19th hole. The marshals do a great job and keep the pace of play moving.
