Played On 06/15/2018Nice Course/Rough Height
Nice course. Very open layout. The narrow fairways make up for the relatively short length of this course. My one criticism is the rough was mowed way too high. If you miss the narrow fairways it was extremely difficult to find your ball unless you were on top of it. My wife and I lost 8 balls but found 10 in rough just off the fairway which tells you that other golfers had the same difficulty finding their balls too. It’s frustrating being just off the fairway and losing a ball. The greens and fairway were in excellent shape. The Starter was very friendly. I’m not sure I would play here again if the rough was the same height. I don’t feel a public course should be set up that tough.

Played On 05/25/2018Slow play/High Rough
This is a nice course. It's pretty open but has a lot trees and underbrush so if you're not straight there's trouble lurking. Let's talk rough. The length of the rough AND the fairways on the par 3's was so long (3-4 inches) it was extremely hard to find a ball. I felt I was playing in the US Open! I was short of the green on a par 3 what should have been the fairway and I lost a ball due to the high grass. There's no need to keep the rough that long if you're trying to attract average golfers to play there. Pace of play was EXTREMELY poor. We got behind a foursome and they did not play ready golf. It took 5 hours for the round. There were no marshals on the course so we could only grind our teeth and wait. On the positive side the fairways were great, soft and thick. The green had been aerated 2 weeks ago so they were fairly rough. Nice course but could be better with more mowing of the rough and a more keen eye on the pace of play.

Played On 05/08/2018Great Golf Course
This course was extremely challenging. It's target golf at it's best. Narrow fairways, water on 14 of 18 holes and the ocean comes into play on many holes. If you're not accurate you'll be in trouble. I only used driver on about 3 holes but still lost 7 balls. That said my wife and I truly enjoyed this course. The ocean views are fantastic! We only paid $55 each so for the price we played a great golf course! The weather was overcast and cool with about a 10-15 mph wind blowing off the water which made it even tougher. I highly recommend playing here. The spectacular views are worth the difficulty factor!
Thanks for your review - had rain 9 out of last 10 days so tough to get all of the mowing done. I think a lot of courses had the same problem the day you played. Sorry about the pace - that is unacceptable and we will get it fixed!!
