Enjoy This Fun Course

We have played this course off and on for years. It's one of our favorites. The staff is friendly and helpful and the course layout is just fine. There are a few truly beautiful holes on the back-9. We highly recommend this course for fun and good times. Unfortunately, it was quite crowded the other day and pace of play was slow. But, not a problem.

Nice Outing

This is normally a beautiful course but the greens were a bit shoddy this time. This may have been due to the recent hurricane passing through. Pace was excellent on the front nine but we ran into a couple of slowpokes on the back. Staff was friendly. Would recommend it.

Pleasant Return to a Fine Course

We hadn't played this course for several years but our recent outing was quite pleasant. The course was in beautiful condition but it was obvious that the greens had been aerated not too long ago. Still, they were fine.
Also, we breezed through the course with no one in front of us. It was brutally hot but we enjoyed it.

Beautiful Course

We play this course every year and always enjoy it. We whisked through the front-9 but caught some larger groups on the back. We simply replayed previous holes to finish 18. Greens were recently aerated which made putting tougher than usual. We find this course more challenging than the average executive course.

An Excellent Outing

We play this course every year and always enjoy it. It's a bit more challenging than the average executive course but that adds to the enjoyment. The gentleman who checked us in was super accommodating and the pace of play was good. A couple of tee boxes were a bit chopped up but the rainy season will remedy that. We recommend this course.

A Pleasant Place to Play

We have played this course often over the years and always enjoy it. Even though it is quite far from where we live, we never mind making the trip. We played in the afternoon and the pace of play was brisk. We also teamed with another couple which made the day even nicer. We highly recommend this course.

Unusual Circumstances

We were sched to play Jul 8 but Hurricane Elsa shut the course to 9 holes walking only. Jerry in the pro shop was so accommodating and gave us a rain check since the GN voucher was for that date only. We resched for Jul 15 but continued heavy rains forced the same conditions that date. Personal injuries prevented our playing until today. The rain check of course was still good. We thoroughly enjoyed our round and are eternally grateful to the understanding staff that mad it possible. Our experience was wonderful and we highly recommend.

Challenge of a Lifetime

We're from Fla where all the courses are flat. This is a rolly-polly course which you couldn't walk. Even cart to tee and cart to green was hilly. Expect achy legs the nest day. HOWEVER...it was beautiful and very challenging-- an experience we'll remember the rest of our lives !!

A Great Little Course

This is a great little course we play about once a year.
Today the pace of play was slow on the front-9 so, after the 9th hole we decided to pay the front-9 again and the pace was perfect. Unfortunately, we didn't score well because this was the windiest conditions we've ever played it. Of course, this wasn't the course's fault. Would recommend this course anytime.

A Beautiful Little Course

Played here for the first time. We live quite far away but were in the area on business. It was in beautiful condition but the pace of play was excruciating on the front-9. We were behind two women that took about 20 mins per hole. They dropped out after nine and the pace picked up beautifully. Would recommend this one.

Nice Course for a Pleasant Outing

We play this course a lot and always enjoy it. Pace was slow today but that wasn't the course's fault-- just slow golfers in front of us. The course was well kept and well manicured although the sprinklers nailed us on two occasions. Good time though.

A Fine Outing

We play this course a couple of times a year and always enjoy it. Today was no exception. The guy in the pro shop was friendly and courteous. The course itself was in good shape, though the greens were a bit slow. It was very uncrowded, probably because of the heat. Still, a good time..

Always a Pleasure to Play

The course is normally not that busy in the afternoon, but it was today. We were glad to see folks out and about in these troubled times. We play this course a couple of times a year. It's definitely challenging but we know a few shortcuts. Always a pleasure to play.

It Looks Easy but Isn't

This is a great course to practice your short game. It looks easy but it's not. It's very difficult to put the ball on the green and keep it there. The conditions cause you to think about each shot. Additionally, the staff was ver accommodating.
