Course wasn't set up to handle payment at time of check in as clubhouse was closed. Was leery of this after I finished and wanted to confirm how much I was being charged. 4 days later I noticed they double charged my card for a higher amount than I was quoted. Offered nothing when I called claimed a mistake but sure looks like they hoped I wouldn't notice. Not cool at all.

Played here a number of times before and hold this place in high regard. Course layout is 2nd to none in Vegas but there were a few things that bothered me namely in regards to the staff working there. First, the bag drop guy at 7am was downright miserable all because my Uber driver let me out a few feet away from where he wanted me. Next, I was forced onto another's cart for the round due to "course policy" from the rude starter. Normally I wouldn't mind (I'm a 10 handicap), but I had to ride w/ a first time golfer who had no business on this course. Not only didn't know how to play but didn't know the etiquette of driving the cart either. Really ruined my round and for $150+ I expect to be able to play my game & enjoy myself especially on a championship course such as this. Course was not overly crowed on this morning either so I understand you don't want more than 2 carts per group, but considering the circumstances this should have been an exception.

Played here many times over the years - usually 1-2x per season. Used to like it here much more than now. Course conditions were a solid B which normally is fine but when they charge the same as the other 2 Parks courses (with A+ conditions) its a bit underwhelming. Fairways & tees hadn't been mowed (on a Fri am) although the greens were (real) good - smooth, quick, & held shots. Not to mention the constant helicopters overhead & traffic noise from the parkway near many holes, its just a meh experience here these days unfortunately. Much better value for the $$ over at Legends where they clearly spend more attention (& money) w/ the upkeep & attention to detail. Should be at least $10 - $20 less to play here but it usually isn't & that's really my main complaint. Not great value for the $$ here compared to the other 2 courses..

8am Friday morning tee time and the weather was perfect. Course conditions were not - at all. Tees, fairways, rough, & bunkers hadn't been mowed/raked taken care of for many days. When asked they claimed they had mowed that morning which was a total lie bc the morning dew clearly showed no one had been out yet. Crabgrass growing on tees, clumps (and I mean clumps) of grass all over the rough, bunkers hadn't been touched etc you get the point. Greens were smooth but slow and also hadn't been mowed in at least 1-2 days. Just not acceptable for a resort course charging $125+ especially when others on HHI that same week were in impeccable condition. This is not the elite course/layout most of these reviewers tell you it is but if you're used to playing cheap municipal public town courses then I suppose you'd be impressed here. Vacation golf means limited chances to play resort courses so you have to choose wisely especially when paying $$$ to play.
Played Atlantic Dunes a few days earlier and was overly impressed with the layout, playability, and overall course condition and well worth the extra $$ to play there. Sorry Palmetto Dunes RTJ I wont return.

The old Ocean Course Sea Pines has always been a classic but the redesign has actually improved one of the best courses on HHI. Conditions were A+ - like country club, pro tournament A+ . Tees, fairways, rough, waste areas, bunkers, and greens all perfect. Really. Great playable layout wont kill you like Harbor Town (even though also great) will. Facilities are also top notch here with a beautiful clubhouse, locker rooms, restaurant, etc. Honestly just a great experience. The only negative is the lack of GPS on the carts which for the $$$ to play here you should have. Other than that, A+ Atlantic Dunes keep up the great work! Will definitely return!
