Too hot for comfort

The course is beautiful, with significant elevation changes. Several holes are played along the Caribbean Sea. The fairways and bunkers were in excellent shape. However, several greens showed signs of stress. There was evidence of the beginning of disease. The layout is challenging, but fair. Playing this course in July brings in heat as a serious factor. It was brutally hot and I had to hydrate repeatedly. Overall, I enjoyed the round despite the temperature being over 90 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s a very nice golf course. I’ve played it multiple times through years and will continue to play it when I visit Jamaica.

Unnecessary slow pace of play

Very nice facility, although somewhat dated. Excellent course design, and well maintained fairways and bunkers.. The only problem was that I chose to play on a day when the club hosted a member’s best ball tournament. The pace of play was ridiculously slow, with no ranger to assist in speeding up play. I would play this course again, but only with no members’ tournament.

Nice track

The course was in excellent condition, despite having received significant rain. It’s a nice design, but it plays longer than the scorecard Indicates. My only complaint is that the cart paths are awful, and require replacement immediately.

Playing in the clouds

Despite the virus, this course was ready for business. It was in immaculate condition, including the sand traps. The design tough in spots, but fair. It is one of the most beautiful courses that I have played, and I have played over 690 courses. Good value for the buck. Views from the top of this course are breathtaking. I would definitely play Olde Beau again. The burial monument to the English Bull Dog showed a touch of class.

Almost missed it

I read some disturbing reviews about this course and almost decided to pass on it. These reviews were inaccurate. I have been playing golf in Myrtle Beach for over forty years, and have played at least 85 courses. This course was in immaculate condition and every staff member that I encountered was friendly and helpful. The price was reasonable and it was clear that proper maintenance was taking place. The layout is challenging but fair. I thoroughly enjoyed my round and would recommend this course to anyone. It is a really nice golf course. Some course familiarity would be helpful since some hazards are not fully visible from the tee box. But that’s golf. The greens rolled true, and there was plenty of sand traps and water. The fairways were spacious and well defined. It is one of the better courses in the region. It was a nice find.

Enjoyable Trek

Well designed golf course off the beaten path. Plenty of length, with spacious fairways, most of the time. Could be narrow off the tee on several holes. Some water came into play. Sand traps a little moist, probably due to recent rain. Course in excellent condition. Greens a little slow. Overall, I really enjoyed playing this course, and given the opportunity, would definitely play it again.

Desert/Ocean Golf

Excellent track. Generous fairways, well maintained. Stay on fairway because there is nothing but desert if you stray. Beautiful views of the Caribbean from many holes. Wind can be a problem. The off course amenities are luxurious and expensive. Overall, well worth the price.

Country Club Experience

I really enjoyed playing this course, with one exception. At least four of the greens showed signs of distress. I was informed of this prior to teeing off, and it was obvious the management was doing all that it could to address this issue. Otherwise, it was a wonderful morning on the course. Nice layout, and well maintained. Staff was the friendliest that I have ever encountered. Somewhat off the beaten path, but well worth the effort to get there. I had a great time.

Short and tight

Don't let the absence of length fool you. This course is no joke. Accurate shots are necessary, as there is plenty of water and lots of bunkers and small landing areas on very narrow fairways. Other than that, no problem. Number eighteen is very long, requiring most players to lay up to a forced carry over water. Nice finishing hole. Par three holes are well designed requiring shots over water. Nice little course.

Target golf

Great course if you can place your ball where the architect dictates. Driver not necessary on many holes. Course was in excellent condition, but had many hazards. It was fun to play, but I preferred the second course called Padre.

Hidden Gem

Beautiful golf course, well maintained with strategic hazards to keep you honest. Greens were fast, but rolled true. Some holes had water requiring significant forced carries. Interesting design and not boring. Only negative was slow play resulting from an unskilled foursome who had no knowledge of golf etiquette. A ranger was sorely needed. I would play this track again.

Pebble in Bermuda

This was my third time playing Port Royal, and it gets better each time that I tee it up. It is situated next to the ocean, so wind does come into play on many holes. This time it was 90 degree rule, as opposed to cartpath only. This course has serious elevation changes, so being able to actually drive to your ball was a plus. The course was in immaculate condition, with hazards strategically placed to require well thought out shots to avoid the big number. I have played every course in Bermuda, and many more than once. Port Royal is definitely my favorite.

Great Par Three

This was my third time playing Turtle Hill. It is one of the best par three courses that I have played in forty years. The distances are varied and not boring. There are many hazards and serious elevation changes. The course was in pristine condition, with greens that rolled true. After the round, my wife and I went down the hill to the beach called Horseshoe Bay. It does not get any better than this!!!

Winter golf

Beautiful course in a spectacular setting. Very challenging par 3s, with strategically placed water hazards. Played with my wife, who has only been playing for five years. She enjoyed the round as much as I did. With two quality courses on the premises, you can't go wrong. Great value for the price. Only downside was the condition of the bunkers. Concrete!!!
