Great Local Course at a Great Value

The Navy Destroyer course is in terrific shape with some very interesting holes. It's a very good challenge for the mid-handicapper with some long holes. It's a really nice track in very good shape. A couple of quirky holes aside, it was fun to play. My only objection was the pace of play - which is mostly do to the golfers and not the course. The day I played the weather was exceptionally hot and added stiff wind late in the day around 4PM so that made it more difficult. Bring your own water and ice chest, very little water on the course, and no cart persons bringing refreshments. The only opportunities are on Holes 9 and 11 which are at the Snack Shack. Otherwise, a great experience, I will play the course many times going forward.

A COURSE THAT CONSISTENTLY DELIVERS!

Had a Saturday Twilight tee time that finished in Exactly 4 hours (it is possible!) through a Hot Deal. The course is always well-maintained despite the punched greens this time around(which weren't too bad) and consistently has a good assortment of food options and friendly staff.

Enjoyed 18!

There is much to appreciate with this course, and just a small amount of minor issues that dragged on my play. The course was in very good shape other than the recent aeration on the greens. The fairways could have been manicured a little better as the tracks ran slow. But overall it was a very good experience.

Punched greens and fairways

I have one remark.

They didn’t tell me that the greens and fairways were pinched and in a very bad condition to play. If I knew that I was not going to play.

On another note, the course is great.

Best,

B.K.

Hitting up on Par 3's

Pace of play was good, except on the Par 3 holes. When did waving up the next group on Par 3' holes stop. This helps keep the play moving.

Challenging Greens

Course is what might expect for the money, nothing really bad nor really exciting. Decent distances and a bit unusual with front par 37 and back 35. Nice to have gps on carts. Greens large and undulating, two putt not a certainty. Some reason all the par 3s really slowed down play, usually three groups on each. Have had lots of rain and many soft areas. Overalll hats off to the maintenance staff, course was in good shape and there are just some places they can’t get a mower.
