Great resort course

Royal course was in great shape. Pace of play was good for a resort course. We will play again next time we are in Kaanapali.

Good value

2nd time playing VE. I like the course and it’s convenient to where I was staying. Pace of play was faster than last time but just ok..greens were a tad slow. It has potential to be very good.

Great course

Great course, played a few times and always in great shape.

The starter is a bit power hungry and never allowed me to get the 2 for 1 balls I paid for with my golfpass. Pro shop indicated I didn’t need the receipt but he wouldn’t have it. He was pretty grouchy to others as well.

I’ll play again but will have my receipt… :-).

Really nice course

First time playing. The layout was fun, a few of the greens were struggling but overall it was in good shape. Follow the GPS as it has some targeted landing areas. I would play again if I’m in the area.

Great course but…

I really love the course..played a couple times and it’s always one of the best values around. The layout is great and it has some awesome views.

However, the greens are having some problems. More than a few greens had some large dead spots. They tried keeping the flags away from them but you can’t avoid some of them.

Fairways and tee boxes were in good shape. Sand traps didn’t have rakes.

I’ll be back and hope they turn the greens around.

Thanks for your comments and the 4 stars. Greens are in transition from winter to summer grass and with no rain for the past 6 weeks it is not happening as well or as quickly as we would like. A little help from Mother Nature would be welcome. We hope to see you here again in spite of this temporary issue.

Great day at Rocky River

Course was in great shape. We got a great deal on GolfNow. Greens were rolling great!!

The pace of play was a little slow...Rangers could have pushed the group in front of us but it wasn't too bad.

I would play again.

Great course - conditions have been better

Played here a few times. The course is a gem but this week was a little disappointing. The Bermuda greens should be in better shape this time of the year. Not sure why but they were slow and soft.

They looked ~2 weeks from aeration but other comparable course are rolling much better. Hope they improve as the layout is great.

Nice track

Course was very good. Starter Stan was the best. Some of the valley views were tremendous. Pace of play was ok but typical for a busy resort.

Had a links style to it. We had fun.

Good course

The good:

Rees Jones course. Really like the layout, no tricked up holes. Fairways and greens were in very good shape.

The bad:

Staff didn’t go out their way for anything. Clubhouse is overdue for an overhaul.

Our cart died on 15 and no one answered the phone to help. Fortunately a group behind had an extra cart and was nice to help out.

We paid $56 which was a good price.

I’d play again if the price was right.

Nice place but not aging well

I've played the pines course several times but not in the past year. After the new greens were installed it was in great shape and a pleasure to play. It WAS one of the better deals in the Sandhills.

Not sure what happened but the greens were not cut and didn't look very healthy. Champion Bermuda greens shouldn't be like this especially in the summer. Now the rates were only $25 but this course is better than that.

Great Day at Mid-South

I've played several courses around the Sandhills and somehow missed this one.

I've heard good things but was surprised at the quality of Mid-South. It's not for the faint of heart as the layout is challenging and the greens are tough. It challenges you but doesn't beat you up. You'll want to play it again because of the challenge and quality of the golf.

I can't wait for my next chance.

Great deal with Golfnow

Played with my wife early with not a lot if folks around. Course was in good shape for the winter. Fairways were not over seeded but didn't need them. Greens rolled well but had some poa invasion.

It was very scenic with the trees and moss. Good value with Golfnow.
