We were a twosome behind 2 walking foursomes, so things really bogged down when there were long distances through the neighborhoods between holes. Didn't mind waiting, but maybe carts should be required. Only other problem was the gnat swarms on several holes - very annoying. The holes out over the marshes were scenic.

Wasn't in the greatest shape or as nice looking as 2 other courses we played on St. Simons. Definitely saw the most wildlife here, as opposed to the other 2, including a number of alligators, deer & numerous bird species. I'd go back, but it could use some TLC.

Staff were very friendly. Rain was predicted & the skies were overcast w/a few sprinkles, so I think a lot of folks may have cancelled their plans to play. We weren't rushed & no one held us up, so we had a good time. Fairways were thin in places, but this was pretty common on the other 2 courses we played while in the area as well. Pretty wide open, so I didn't loose any balls!

I liked this course with its creek running through & the variety of holes. My husband does not like "target golf" & that's what it is on several holes, especially on the back, with not very good landing areas. Some of the greens were bumpy also. It was May 2, (in-season?) but the snack shop was closed & all they had to offer to eat in the pro shop were hot dogs & a very small selection of candy/crackers.
I would go back, but don't know if I could convince the others in the group to do so. We got a great price on a GolfNow Hot Deal, which is why I gave it an excellent value for the money.

It was very hot - 98 degrees - & humid, but it was a fun course & got bird sightings of a hawk & ospreys as a bonus. Not many golfers out (weekday & heat) - except directly in front of us the whole round. I got very good at getting out of the overabundant bunkers. Lots of elevation changes & lots of water as well. Greens were in good shape, as were the fairways which were, for the most part, fairly wide.

Back 9 is more interesting. Got off to a very late start (over 30 min. past our tee-time, since they were letting some groups go off who had started on #10 & were making the turn.) That was annoying, but when we got to #10, there was no longer anyone directly in front of us.
