Slow, slow, slow

Started on time at 12:25 with the group in front of us on the par 4 green. Got up to the first green after our second shots and saw 3 groups on, or waiting, at #2. That pretty well sums things up. I left after finishing #14 at the 4 hour mark. I saw one marshall as I approached the tenth tee. He asked "how's it going." But kept driving and obviously did not care to hear anything I might have to say. Condition of the course was decent. Greens were in good shape but slow.

Beautiful views

The course has outstanding ocean views. Conditions of the Fairways were good, but not great. I paid less expensive courses on the island with similar, if not better, fairwayConditions. Overall, I enjoyed the course and the layout.

Average course

Nothing special here. As usual, too much money for the quality of the course when you play in season. We played near the end of January. But, still less expensive than many others.

OK course

Course was in good condition. It was kind of boring. None of the holes was memorable. The greens are small so it is difficult to keep shots on the green, and I found myself putting from 10 feet and in off the green. Played in just over 4 hours on a Friday morning but it seemed slower. You can definitely walk the course if you choose to. As with any area course it was too expensive.

Water your fairways

Liked the layout. Greens were in good shape but slow. Fairways need work. My playing partner is from Maine. I am from Chicago suburb. We agreed that a course in this condition would have to charge much, much less to get play in our home areas. This course is nicer than others in the area, but not what one expects for the money.

Not worth the money

Like other reviewers, I found the fairways and tee boxes to be in really bad shape. The course has a lot of play and must be making money but doesn’t appear to be putting it back in the course. Greens were in good shape and pace of play was good (4:10 teeing off at 9:32). But for $120, I expected better condition.

Glacial

Walking only which would have been fine but for some reason after 6 slow holes, just when it seemed like things might open up, we got to a par 3 and there were 4 groups waiting. 3 hour 9 was too much for me.

Enjoyable round

I had an enjoyable morning. It was quite cool, 50, when we began, but apparently that meant fewer players. I was lucky to be paired with a regular who was friendly and helped me with the course. We played in 3 hours. The course is in good shape and fun. The greens westwick and true. Would play again.
