Moderate difficulty & friendly place

Comparing to the last couple years, there are improvements this years. It's definitely more friendly place and better customer care this year. Golf course is in very solid condition and is friendly for players like me transitioning from beginner to intermediate level.

Good Course

This was my second time playing here, however it had been a few years, so I didn't remember much. We decided to take a day off work and come play 18, since the weather looked nice. The pace was a little slow on the first hole, but after that it was fantastic. This course is not overly challenging, however it will challenge you occasionally. Stay in the fairway, and you'll be fine. Course was in OK shape.

decent, but dont walk

course was in good shape, first ones off but for some reason we couldnt play the island nine due to the "flow of the course right now". Also do not walk this course, yardage markers are few and far between. Those that are there are buried under grass clippings. You are actually penalized by walking as you constantly have to estimate distance by 20-30 yards for every shot. Some par 3s dont even have markers on the tees.

Course is Good.

I had a fantastic time being that i brought 8 colleagues with me. We enjoyed the range and putting green. However the course was packed with patrons. The way the course is set up u litterally are golfing on top of eachother. The holes are stacked on top of eachother. We were constantly harassed by other golfers for our pace. We are above average golfers and never had any group waiting on us . I had to drive my cart up to the people yelling at us and explain we were 3 holes ahead of them which im still confused about! Just be prepared to yell fore even when landing 10 feet off of fairway. Not one bunker was raked and no rakes were available either. Overall we played golf! so i am happy.

Cool little course

Played this early in the season--course was in decent shape although greens had just been aerated. GPS was excellent. Wide open similar to most resort courses--water on a few holes including signature island green par 3. No rakes in bunkers--very wet sand. No ball washers or water on the course.

Walked

Got $24 GolfNow deal - Walking - Woodland/Island

First round of the season, beautiful March weekday. Was the first one off at 8am, playing as a single. Woodland 9 first, then Island 9 to finish. For the time of year, tee boxes, fairways, and greens in good condition. Short rough. Most bunkers packed, but a few with loose sand. Greens were very slow (not surprising for time of year) but ran true. Driving range not open yet (tentatively early April). Good value for the time of year, but would be interested in how the course plays when at peak condition. As a single, walker with push cart, played a 3.5 hr round.

Resort course in my backyrad

Upon arrival you drop your bags park a good distance away and drag your bag thru a lobby to the back of the building.

Then you go back in and check in. not bad just awkward.

Cart was clean but Gps system was acting off was confused about what course we where on.

Staff was nice it was very busy and they moved everyone very well and kept us informed.

As most courses these days the bunkers are horrible. The course was tight with a good amount of trees guarding a wayward shot.

Fairways and greens are in good shape I could have done with out the goose presents on some of the holes.

The greens are a nice challenge with some good reads needed to putt well.

other then some folks playing from our fairway and a good amount of folks yelling fore it was not bad. Just have other courses that are not as cramped and just as well maintained to play.

Average Course

I played this course several years ago before the new owners. Similar layout to before from what I remembered. Fairways and rough were in good shape, greens were slow and sand traps were terrible (no sand and like concrete). I gave it 5 stars for value, because I bought it thru Golf Now for only 22.00 plus fees. I would have been extremely disappointed for full price.

Watch out for errant shots

I played the Highland and Woodward courses. The actual courses were pretty good and in decent a shape except for,the traps which need a lot of work. My biggest complaint is that three courses are packed in with most holes having at least one maybe 2 holes on each side. Hence it is pretty wide open which is good if you spray your drives. However you are also dodging other poor hits all the time. I probably heard "FOUR" every other hole. As far as value it definitely isn't worth paying full retail. If you pay $59 on Golfnow, you also have to buy range balls, so it cost me $69 and it wasn't worth it in my opinion. The other positives is that it is pretty close to downtown so that helps in making it a little better value. Also their practice range is good and they have a short chipping range which is nice also. They need to cut the greens a little tighter to speed them up as they were very slow. The gold tee boxes are in pretty bad shape. Overall this course needs some TLC and funding from @Hilton but you will still be dodging golf balls during the round which they can't do anything about.

Great layout , good pace of play

Course was in good condition and boast fair greens which are well protected by bunkers. Choice of several tee's to accommodate all level player. We played
As a twosome in slightly under 4 hrs, great pace! Biggest issue was lack of sand in
Bunkers and they were firm and compacted! In all fairness we did receiver
Heavy rain the night before! Definitely on my replay list. As with all resort courses parking isn't convienent.
