Let me start by saying my review may be a bit harsh, I'm a low handicapper and the average golfer may not feel the same. The course was reopened a couple of weeks ago apparently, but my goodness they need to leave it closed if it's going to be like this. The greens were like putting in fairways, and the fairways were all flyer lies because the grass was so thick and long. Apparently it's "normal", and will be better soon, but then offer serious discounts. The landscape was beautiful, I certainly let see why people like the layout from that perspective. I don't think I've ever seen a full length golf course compressed into such a small space. Design was very "resort" like. Again to be fair, I had played two days at Escena before this which is amazing. If you're a low handicapper, play escena for a challenge and fair scoring course.

Amazing layout, really challenging especially from the back tees. The fairways and rough were mint, bunkers were great and soft. My only issue is the practice bunker is completely different sand, why do courses do that?! Pace was under 4 hours, and even then the marshal was on my group for being out of position (in nicest possible way, motivated us not scolded us). Replayed for cheap and took only 3 hours. One of my best golf experiences to be honest, can't wait to go back. Order the mushroom burger, best burger I've ever had.

This may be the most challemging, but the best course I’ve ever played. By far the best value of any course I’ve played. I got paired with a group of locals and it was a very enjoyable round. Yes the rough is long, the fairways are tighter than anything I’ve experienced and there are a lot of carries to greens, but wow was this a fun round. I’m sure I’ll score better next time haha.

It’s a solid course for sure, but the greens were still pretty bumpy from punching, which surprised me as it was 3 weeks ago. Pace was slow, but pretty target golf here. Some strange holes, like 17 is 446 yards and I drove it through the fairway into the hazard with a 3 wood. My opinion you can’t make that long of a par 4 with requiring some to hit a 2 iron off the tee. It was dry for sure, but the tee boxes were mint and the fairways although hard were pretty good. All interactions with the staff were lovely, seemed like a great culture here.

So I’ll start by saying, stunning venue. Staff were amazing, everyone was friendly and helpful. The course layout was very “resort” like, they certainly won’t be hosting any high profile events. It was really fun to play though and not a piece of grass out of place. Unfortunately I was able to sample multiple bunkers and they were all very fluffy. The greens though, absolutely ridiculous. Staff told me they were 12, I hit multiple wedges to within 10 feet that would actually spin 10 yards off the green. I’ve never seen anything like it. Downhill putts from 10 feet if missed would go 10 feet by. I played a different course the next day and literally left 5 footers 2 feet short as I was traumatized haha. I would certainly play here again for the experience, but would purposely play 1 club less to be chipping up hill rather than 5 feet downhill.
