Pay for the views

The views are amazing, that's what you pay for. Course overall in just OK shape for the price. The bunkers were actually horrible and there were numerous holes with fairways under repair. There wasn't enough sand in them, the burlap or whatever is underneath the sand was actually showing through on a few different bunkers (see picture). Between our foursome, all of which are single digit handicaps, 9 out of the 11 bunkers we hit were in bad shape. All they really needed was more sand, so that was disappointing.
Greens are really fast going towards the ocean, but pretty slow the other way so it's hard to judge distance but overall OK.
There was maybe 3 groups on the entire course but we got stuck behind a 3 some that was playing from the tips but should not have been. That made for a slow round but was more luck of the draw.
I would only recommend playing if you want the view, otherwise you can spend a lot less for a better layout and better maintained course.
