I played on a very windy day and still enjoyed the round. The course is in excellent condition. The green are Poa and don't break much. Love the layout of the course. Par 3's are really tough. Water on number of holes. Would love to play on a calm day.

I really enjoy playing this course. The layout is great and each hole is somewhat unique. The greens were a bit spotty and very soft, but I imagine it is because of the time of year. We were a threesome and played in 3:45 minutes, even with quite a few golfers on the course. Play was very fast. From the Pegasus (back tees) the course is challenging especially holes #4, #5, #6, #9, #16, and #18. Hitting of of range mat is okay, but the balls were really worn out.

I've played the course many times. I will only comment on the Bayonet Course. I have played it twice in the past 2 weeks. The conditions are disappointing. They are not building houses but entire neighborhoods in what once was a beautiful quiet forest. Unfortunately that is the world we live in today when it comes to developers and housing. I can live with that, but the condition of the greens is very poor. The greens look like they have 6 different types of grasses growing in them. Some greens are hard and some much softer. They don't seem to tolerate foot traffic well. Soft spikes still leave big marks to fix. Feel like even if you hit a good putt, you need to be a bit lucky to have it go in. I suspect they have been dealing with some fungus issues for a long time. The practice green is in hideous shape, and was terrible a year ago. What is going on? The bunkers no longer have the nice white sand and instead are very hard with not enough sand of whatever type. Maybe I am being too critical, but I remember when the course was in really pristine shape, and it's just disappointing to see it go downhill.

I ENJOYED THE COURSE. THEY SAY TO TAKE FREE RELIEF FROM THE WASH AREA THAT IS ON THE SIDE OF MANY OF THE HOLES. I PLAYED IT AS A NORMAL LATERAL HAZARD AND TOOK A PENALTY DROP. IF YOU PLAY THE WASH AS A WATER HAZARD THE COURSE BECOMES MUCH MUCH MORE DIFFICULT. THE GREENS WERE GOOD AND HAD BEEN SANDED AND VERTICUT PROBABLY 12 OR SO DAYS BEFORE I PLAYED THERE. STAFF AND OTHER GOLFERS WERE VERY FRIENDLY. I WOULD CERTAINLY PLAY IT AGAIN. TRAPS NEED ATTENTION AND WERE VERY HARD. MY GUESS IS THE WIND REALLY TAKES A TOLL ON THE SAND TRAPS.

I've played this course about 8 times and it was always in acceptable to very good condition. I don't know what the heck the greenskeeper is doing. The greens are terrible. Extremely soft and slow, with tons of imperfections affecting the roll of the ball. There is no sand in the bunkers. The bunkers are like concrete with a little dusting of sand on top. The layout is really nice and it is so sad to see the poor condition for the fees they charge. No driving range but a crappy net with crappy balls. Practice green a complete joke. Total ripoff at $99. Played with a local that told me he had not seen it this bad in over 100 rounds he's played there. I wonder if they actually have a greenskeeper. When you check in they don't tell you the course conditions suck. Go somewhere else for the time being.

I PLAYED THE BLACK TEES AND THOUGHT THE COURSE WAS VERY CHALLENGING, BUT VERY FAIR. THE COURSE WAS A BIT SOFT IN GENERAL (PROBABLY DUE TO WATER NEEDED IN SUMMER HEAT), AND THIS RESULTED IN THE COURSE PLAYING FAIRLY LONG (NOT A LOT OF ROLL OUT ON DRIVES) THE COURSE IS VERY PRETTY, ESPECIALLY THE BACK 9 WHICH IS MORE IN THE TREES. GREENS ARE SHAPED NICELY, AND THEY CAN TUCK PINS IN VARIOUS AREAS ON THE GREENS. ALL IN ALL A REALLY NICE COURSE. PAR 5'S ARE PRETTY LONG FROM BACK TEES!

I liked the course. Plays around 6600 yards from back tees. 3 tough par 3 holes make the course a little tougher than the rating in my opinion. Greens were fairly fast. Fairway traps are well placed and caught a few of my drives. I will definitely play again. Final 3 holes are pretty tough, especially with a little wind.

Played Black Horse for the first time. I have played Bayonet several times. Black Horse is very difficult. I don't know that it is much easier than Bayonet. The Marine air and soft conditions mean less distance and not much roll. I have a 3 handicap and shot 78. The course played very long today. Short irons don't seem to go far. Probably more wind up high than you think at times. Greens were soft and fairly quick. They were sanded not long ago. Lot of undulations and hard to sink mid to long range putts. Seems like you never get an easy straight putt. Love the course but I think I would have more fun playing the blue tees next time. Black tees just beat you up after a while.

Did not enjoy the course at all post renovation. Why hire the same outfit to renovate when they obviously did not do a proper job the first time? Greens are hard as granite - won''t hold even high spinning shots. No rough to stop ball from rolling a mile over the green. New par 3 nothing special. Ruined the former 8th green - now the 18th by putting in a hazard that takes away the option of going for green in 2 shots. Bunkers very inconsistent - some with dusting of sand and rock underneath, some where ball completely submerged to where you couldn't see a dimple on the ball. No water, no cart girl. Lastly $25 per person for a cart is ridiculous - but throw in "Cart path only" and you have to be insane to pay the money. This course was built to minimize maintenance and water - all the other talk about a fast course is just camouflage for saving money. What a true disappointment.

Played Saturday Feb 3rd. Have played here about 30 times over the years and have never been disappointed. Play was slow for some reason this time. The course is great. It is a fun layout, no two holes are similar. The greens are very tricky. Love the rolling terrain of the fairways on the front 9. Great value for the money. Head pro and staff are really nice and accommodating. For the middle of winter, I thought the course was in pretty good shape. They made the course a littler easier over the years. Some traps were removed and some reduced in size. I love this place - see the ocean from every single hole.

Very difficult if you play from the black tees.
Must drive the ball in the fairway if you want to make par. A couple of very long difficult uphill par 4's on the course. Greens are excellent and have a lot of undulations. Food in restaurant is excellent and reasonable priced.

Played for the second time and loved it.
Great layout, fun, challenging and in great shape.
Lucky to be able to play as it is a country club.
