Beautiful course, conditions were great. Several challenging holes, lots of water but fair. Greens were not very receptive, very firm but the ball rolled nicely when putting.

Not a terrific value, you’re definitely paying a premium for Sea Pines. You can pay half the price at other HHI courses and get a similar experience but if price isn’t a concern, it’s worth playing.

If you collect logo balls you’ll be disappointed as there is no logo on the ball, just a printed Heron Pointe letterhead. You would think for $260 green fees they could afford to design a simple logo by oh well, I’ll still add it to the case.

First of all, I'm shocked by some of the recent reviews saying the course was in bad shape. I played on 3/29/2022 and found the fairways and greens to be excellent. No idea how it can go from "very little grass in the fairways" to being perfectly lush and full in one week, maybe they had scalped everything and it had grown in?

The greens were a little slow, that would be one my only complaints. The other is the $165 green fee. That was way too steep but I guess worth it to play once.

Fantastic practice areas and great/fun course to play overall.

This course has an interesting/challenging/fun layout - definitely worth a trip to Marshville. The greens are always in fantastic shape, and the fairways are pretty good as well.

Lots of elevation changes and some steep grades on a few holes add to the charm.

One knock on the course is hole 15. Kind of a ridiculous hole with how severely the fairway slopes from right to left but I guess they did what they could considering the natural terrain.

I'll be back to play again - overall a great value.

The course was in very good shape and is a great value. It can play very tough if you're not driving the ball straight. Hole 17 is really a long par 4 as opposed to a par 5 but I won't complain about an easy birdie.

If you're in Scottsdale on a golf trip, We Ko Pa is a must play due to the views alone. Layout is also great and the courses were in great shape considering it was in the middle of heat wave (115 degrees). Amenities and staff were also top notch.

But one thing really really annoyed me...I take my golf and my USGA handicap pretty seriously and I play the tee box that I think matches my ability and length off the tee. If I'm playing the whites, I want to play the whites. At We Ko Pa however, about half the white tees were actually placed on the green tee boxes thus shortening the yardage I played by several hundred yards (No white tees were placed back to compensate for this). I feel like the people in charge must think we're not intelligent enough to figure this out - and I'm sure they do it to speed up play. But don't insult my intelligence please, put the tees where they belong just like every other course I have played in the Scottsdale area. Rant over - I would still go back but next time I'll just play from the white tee box instead of the tee box where the white tee is sitting.

Good course, fun design with lots of elevated tees which I liked. However, paying $200 for punched greens is outrageous- definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. I would expect a steep discount when the ball is bouncing along and frequently thrown off course the intended line.

Obviously if you’re staying at the Ritz and are a golf nut like me, you’re kind of at their mercy so make sure to plan around the aeration schedule.
