The Highlands was in exceptional condition and was a true pleasure to play.

Once again the Palmer course did not disappoint. Conditions were perfect, greens were fast and true. Cant recommend this course enough.

Although the first nine holes were played in a pretty heavy fog, the round was excellent. This course never lets you down and offers a challenging yet fair test of your skills.

Course was in exceptional condition, pace of play was grueling and definitely made the round much less enjoyable. There is never an excuse to have three foursomes on a par 3

Shepards Crook is a course you need to play, and probably twice so that you are familiar with the hole layout. Conditions were very good and place of play was good even with the number of walkers and people with pull carts.

We enjoyed playing Cary Country Club and will go back, conditions were average but the greens were in excellent shape. Hilly course so riding is a plus.

This is a truly exceptional golf course. The setting of the front nine is like playing through an old stand of oak trees with beautiful home scattered throughout. The back nine opens up a bit after 14 to get you with lake views.

What truly stands out is that the layout offers risk reward decisions on most holes but always leaves a safe out if you choose to play conservatively course was in gear shape and the greens were fast and took some time to get the feel for the speed and the grain.

Will definitely be back

We were a foursome and teed off at 3:20 and were behind a foursome that had 2 very novice golfers with one of the group walking and the other in carts. They were very slow with the other golfers standing behind each other as they hit their second and subsequent shots. On every par three we would play the complete hole before they had finished teeing off on the next hole. On one hole they were still on the tee and one of the group had gone back several holes to find some lost sunglasses, they didn't offer to let us play through. Our round finished as darkness set in at 8:30, when one of the staff drove around telling people that carts were due in at 8:00. Very unpleasant experience, Prairie Isle needs to have someone out patroling pace of play on weekends. Ironically, the drink cart came by at least 8-10 times so at least they got that covered. This experience will make me think twice about coming back.

I am writing this trying to forget what Turnberry once was during its private days. I have played Turnberry sporadically for the past 40 years (it was the home course of my high school golf team). It is sad to what has happened to the overall facility, but all in all the course is in very good shape. Fairways and rough are pretty firm and you can land short and run up, but the greens were still receptive
