Found a new gem on Amelia Island

Very nice layout. Pace of play was excellent. Course, especially the greens were in much better shape than Oak Marsh. Overall, course conditions were great for the winter. Larry was an excellent course ambassador and gave us tips on holes 1, 9, and 18, that were invaluable. A great guy.

Hidden Gem

This course is fantastic! Played because of the ads about their new Bermuda greens. Certainly correct, as the greens are fast and roll great. The rest of course is kept in excellent shape, as well.

The staff members are extremely friendly and helpful.

Playing there again this weekend and have made it a permanent member of our Atlanta "rota".

Overpriced for what you get

The course was in good condition, but there were far too many groups on the course which really backed up play. Tee times should be 10 minutes apart, not 8-9 minutes apart.

The course design has been artificially crammed into a limited footprint making the course too narrow to have much fun.

The course is worth about $35-$40, not $69, PLUS having to buy range balls.

On the plus side, their short game practice area is fantastic.

It's the course, NOT the clubhouse

Okay, the entry drive and the clubhouse might be a bit off putting, but DO NOT let this deter you from playing this facility!

Only had time to play the Pine Barrens course, but the driving range and putting course, for warm-up, are gigantic and are fantastic.

The Pine Barrens course was the only one that we had time to play and this is definitely a DO NOT MISS!!

I've played many great courses in the US, Ireland, and Scotland, and this course has some of the most interesting holes that I've had the pleasure to play. Many times, course designers make the holes "goofy", in order to be "interesting." This ISN'T the case here. Many of the par 5's, 4's, and to a lesser extent the 3's are constructed in such a fashion to be REALLY interesting, but extremely fair, at the same time.

If you can find your way here, it is a MUST PLAY. I would like to have had the time to play the companion long course.

Great condition, very interesting

The entire facility is top notch. Worked with a Mike Mathews, at Black Diamond, to arrange the Stay & Play.
Four guys and we had a 4 bedroom, 3 bath house that was perfect. The fourth bedroom was a small office, with a twin in it, but it worked very well. Mike was great to work with and very responsive.

The Quarry course was fun and very nice to play and then you reach holes 13-17 that essentially rim the quarry. That's when it becomes jaw dropping and extremely cool. The course was in tip top condition and the greens were fast and undulating.

I would HIGHLY recommend this facility.

Hidden gem

The staff here was fantastic. Great practice areas and range balls were included. Let a few twosomes and a single play through, but the pace of play was fantastic.

Some of the bunkers need work, but the bulk of the course was in great shape! Beautiful fairways and greens.

You can't go wrong playing here.

Bucket List - Better than Pebble Beach

This course was so fun to play. In addition, almost as soon as you leave the first hole the dramatic settings and beautiful course layout are jaw dropping. Caddie was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Great range and practice areas also. Can't recommend this place more highly. Didn't hurt that I played very well here. Expensive, but I'm willing to play this again, someday.
