Played 17 holes. Scored a little over my handicap. Would have played 18 but my cart died on me. Called clubhouse for help. They had left for the day. Call went to operator in South Africa. They could not contact anyone at the course to help me. I walked to the cart return shack (about 600 yds, I'm 78 and tired after 17 holes) and found about 6 guys sitting around. Got one to take me back to my cart and pickup my golf bag and return me to my car. He explained that they do not have a phone in the shack.

Awesome public course

Every thing about this course was great. Nice fairways, tee boxes, sand traps, greens and management. The greens were fast and true, the way I prefer them. Water coolers every 2-3 holes. Restrooms every 5-6 holes. I can't recall any public courses this pristine. Even though I didn't use the practice facilities this outing, they have nice facilities. Love to play here.

Scoop the poop weekly

Course has a large population of Geese, therefore lots of goose poop. The greens have way too much to navigate your putts without moving your ball or removing the scat. Hire a high school lad or lass to use a dog scoop once a week. Happy putting!

Management needs a Marshall to monitor pace of play

We spent more time waiting to hit each shot than we spent playing the course. Extremely slow! No Marshall on the course. I shall not return for another round.

Almost perfect

Great layout! Fairways were perfect. Could not find a bad lie. Tee boxes were great.
Sand traps had a few washouts from all the recent rain, but when I got in them the sand was in great shape. The greens looked as though they were recovering from being punched in the last few weeks but were decent. The course was beautiful. I'll return soon.

Very nice experience

My first time on a military course. a nice experience. Front nine was especially nice. Back nine did not have many trees. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were well maintained. I was only in the sand traps twice but they appeared to be OK. I would like to play here again next time I am in the area.

A fair course but greens were burned out due to dry weather. It will take some time and money to get these greens back to playable condition.

Most enjoyable

Most enjoyable round of golf for me in over a year. I didn't score well but had a great time. All aspects of this course were as good as you could ask for. I played here about 4 years ago, and I will not wait that long to come back.

Improving from a bad situation.

I have not played here in the last year due to the wreak this course was in. The last time I played they had torn up the cart paths, cut down many of the trees on the front nine and had ignored the fairways and greens. They put some kind of river bottom sand in the traps that were difficult to play out of. I thought I would give them another try and was pleasantly surprised. The front nine is still not very appealing but they have repaired the cart paths and the greens and fairways were much better, even with the extremely dry weather we have had recently. I like the layout and the back nine is better than I have seen it before. I shall return soon.

I didnt feel welcomed

The course conditions are excellent. Pace of play was slow (no marshalls), but it was a Friday afternoon. Lady at the desk made me feel unwelcome as a low paying Golf Now customer. I played here about 2-3 days earlier and the staff were very pleasant. I will return, but hope the lady is having a better day.

Pleasantly surprised

It had been about 3 years since I played here. WOW! what an improvement! Even though the course is short, it has elevation changes and doglegs to make you work for par. The greens were excellent as well as the fairways. Sand traps are well maintained. I shall return!

short and dry

Course was very dry. Could use a hammer on some of the tee boxes in order to get the tee in the ground. Many holes were very short. Greens need attention and the course needs a Marshall to speed up play. I played here about 5 or 6 yrs ago and it seemed better. Maybe I will play it again in about 5 yrs. I was not impressed.

A wonderful golfing experience

From the very start my experience was nothing short of great. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The course was in very good shape, with the exception of the sand traps because of the recent rain. The tee boxes, fairways, greens and cart paths were in very good condition. The holes had a good mixture of straight, doglegs, uphills and downhills. We experienced some delays but that was good because it gave us more time to enjoy the scenery, which was fantastic. I will definitely return for another round.

Flat with lots of water

The staff were very cordial and helpful. Tee boxes, fairways and greens well maintained. Cart paths were bumpy and need some repair. Greens were slow but true. Sand bunkers were decent. Lot of water on this course, with some tight fairways. I would recommend putting a marker showing the layout of the hole at each tee box. Overall, I enjoyed playing here. Very beautiful course for an ocean view track. I will try to play here again when back in this area.

tight fairways

Short course with tight fairways, but that is the only defense the course has. Greens were ok, and the fairways were soggy from a large downpour. Played behind a 5 some, but they let me through after 2 holes.

true mountain course

I played a couple of days after a bad storm. The sand traps and some of the cart paths were washed out. The greens were four different shades of green but rolled true. Hilly terrain, which I enjoy occasionally. Beautiful scenery. Is not worth the price posted in the clubhouse, but the golf now hot deal was a hot deal on this course. I will play here again when the weather is nice and I can get another good hot deal.

I love the layout and scenery

I always enjoy playing this course. It takes me an hour to get there so I do not play it that often. Tee boxes, cart paths, fairways and greens (fast the way I like them) are well maintained. I was not in any of the sandtraps so I can't comment on those. The only criticisms I have were the holes on the greens did not have sharp edges ( need to be changed more often) and at least one hole was too close to the edge of the green ( I believe they should be no closer than 12 feet). These are small problems, very easily corrected. I can't wait for the spring grasses to green up the course.

Beautiful!

This course is beautiful in every aspect. Tee boxes, fairways, greens and cartpaths are is great shape. Due to all the rain this summer, some of the sand traps need more work. The scenery is second to none. I am so glad they decided to post on line with GolfNow. The rate was fantastic and will enable me to play here more often. I have played this course many times in the past but paid much more. It had been several months since my previous visit. The course is in great shape and had many people playing, but the pace was very good.
