Played it before.

Course is in excellent condition. Greens were a bit slow but otherwise no complaints. Try to play here as often as affordable.

Played course a few days ago before Christmas. Great condition but the fairways needed to be cut. They were cut when I played today and conditions were excellent once again.Highly recommend this course.Played on GolfNow reservation using Promo Code.

Good layout, interesting Par 6 finishing hole.

Played for first time with another single player. Great course but the pace of play was awful. It took 5 hours to play on a power cart and every group ahead of us had a power cart. Nobody seemed to monitor play and get the pace to speed up. I belong to a private course that a 4 some plays in 4 fours or less walking. Joined a 3 some ahead of us on #16 and finished up as a 5 some or it would have been a 5 hour+ round.

We are sorry to learn your round took longer than expected. We understand the pace of play is key to your game, so we will work to ensure this does not happen again. In the future, we would appreciate no fivesomes out on the course, no exceptions. We hope you give us another shot soon.

Repeat Player

Played from #2 Tee Box and found it quite challenging. Large tree branch laden with seeds snapped and fell over on 1st fairway as our group teed off. Luckily no one underneath when it fell. Loved the course and it impressed my playing partner's first visit to the course. Will return again.

Played Twin Isles

Bunkers need more sand and consistency. Fairways need water. Greens quite good but a little slow. Layout some what challenging. You can score well or blow up at any given time.

It's getting better. Almost back to top notch.

Course has been upgrading since being bought by new owners, after previous owner nearly destroyed it. All bunkers have steep faces eliminated and now have proper sand. Greens were good but some are showing stressed areas. Got a reasonable rate on GolfNow. Played as a 2 some behind a 4 some that were not eager to let us go by. There was nobody playing ahead of them. Having the range included was a great bonus also. I hope they don't price themselves out and not get any play. $85.00 is a bit stiff in my opinion.

Great Greens. Course needs water and sand in bunkers.

Played at a good pace time wise, just over 4 hours. Greens putted well but fairways were sparse. back nine had more fairway grass then the front. Bunkers lacking sand. Will play again if price is right. Give it average rating because of bunker conditions and dry fairways.

First time playing.

Used a GolfNow discount to play this course for the first time. I was impressed, It was one of the best that I have played in the area. Shotgun start at 1:00 PM. Course was in pristine condition. Will play again if I can get a good rate. Staff was friendly and helpful. This is not a course that can be walked. Long cart drive between some holes. It pays to know the layout.

5 and half hour round. Not impressed.

I recommend the course but with hesitation. Our round this past Saturday took 5 and half hours to complete. We were 20 minutes late starting. Members tried to butt in ahead of us. They also let groups go off the back nine in between 4 somes. They seemed very disorganized that day. We waited on every hole and sometimes there were 4 groups on one hole. Some golfers dropped out due to frustration. I played this course a week ago prior to my last round and it only took just over 4 hours. They did spruce the bunkers up a bit and they looked raked (the ones that had sand and not rocks and seashells). There were sponsor signs posted so they must have done something to improve the cosmetics for a tournament. Greens were great but the long round left memories of a bad experience.

Still no proper sand in the Bunkers.

Course was in great shape. Greens were fast, pace of play this time was very good but its the same old story with the bunkers on this course. Rocks and sea shells make up most the bunkers. I hear that changes are coming, but when? One problem is that initial design called for deep faced bunkers. The sand doesn't stick to the sides if not maintained properly. They would be better off turning some of the bunkers into grass bunkers. I don't think that sand is expensive to buy.

Excellent Course in top notch condition.

Immensely enjoyed everything about the course. The round could have played a little faster. Would have liked to play in 4 hours 15 minutes. It took 4.5 but still a great venue.

Bomber course with Pool table top greens.

Great course to lower your handicap and raise your confidence. Wide fairways make it great for long hitters. Good sand bunkers. Pretty hard to lose a ball. The big equalizers are the the fast greens that can rattle your putting confidence.

Intermediate Golfer

Tight fairways on the front nine. Some unwanted weed growth spotted on some greens. Back nine is superb with a great finishing hole. Slight noise issues where multiple greens and tees are clustered. You can hear other players conversations which can be distracting.
