Pretty Good But Better Courses Available

Course was okay. Greens were largely good but there were a number of rough spots. Traps needed some work as they had grass growing in bunkers. The staff was great. Pace of play was very reasonable.

Good Shape

Very good conditions but several spots extremely soaked. They really don’t come into play but you do have to walk through them. Greens rolled great. Fairways were plush. Just overly wet in a few spots.

Cart Path Only for Overseeding

Course was good as expected. GolfNow doesn’t make it easy to see Cart Path Only. You see a course alert but can’t see what the alert is referring to. This is a great course but not a good one for cart path only. 14,500 steps on Apple Watch!

Pretty Good

We apparently caught the course in transition to summer. The greens were pretty sandy but putted fine. Fairways had lots of sparse places and some of the tees were in bad shape. Bunkers were good. Pace of play very good. Drink cart around a few times. One of my favorites. I’ve seen it in better shape. Still good but not at its best.

Always Good

Always a treat to play this course. Not quite as good as it usually is. Grass on range is sparse and there is no putting green (the moved the old one and the new one is not ready). They are also on some different tees as they are rerouting some holes and making new greens. The GPS however, has not been recalibrated to new tee locations.

There are also numerous patches on the greens. They are well patched but they do affect the roll of a putt.

Really Good

This is a little gem. The staff is fantastic and service really good. Course very good condition. Traps immaculate. Holes are framed well. This is not a walking course and it is not a back and forth course. I don’t remember seeing another holes the entire day. Greens very good and putt true.

Need to see beverage cart a little more and there is a lot of home construction is only issue. This course is a keeper.

Check Maintenance Schedule

I booked North and South (because I don’t like the East). When I got there, I was pushed to North and East. South was completely closed. Apparently they did that to a bunch of others as well. That being said, the courses where in phenomenal condition. Greens were best I’d seen them in years.

Wasn’t Happy

I scheduled an 8:51 tee time to specifically play the North and South. When I got there, I found out that I got moved to North and East due to aerification. Specifically didn’t want to play East but got it anyway. Making matters worse, there was no warning on aerification that had occurred on the North.

I have come here lots of times over the past 25 years. This was the first time this has happened. Hope it was an outlier. Usually pristine condition and everything goes well.

Great layout and conditions. Rates in the summer get so cheap you won’t go anywhere else.

Tough but Fair

This is a very stern test from any tee. The course was in great shape which is standard for the course. The tees and fairways were plush but mowed tight. Traps well maintained as well. The difficulty is that many of the greens are raised with fall offs on multiple edges. With the greens relatively firm, we found it hard to hold a green with middle and long irons. Still, it is a must play. Just a little pricey with all the other cheaper courses in the area that are also in good shape.

Just Sanded Greens

Course very good as usual. The greens were just sanded and a little rough. Staff great as usual. Just can't figure out why the put rocks in the waste bunkers.

Disappointing

The course is not in great shape:. Greens have bad spots and don't roll smooth in a number of places. I played the blue tees. Sparse grass at best in a lot of places. They have it set up to play ridiculously short. Not sure why. Staff is exceptional and so was the food.

What a Treat

This is the old Osprey with some redesign. The conditions are absolutely fabulous. Fairways are plush and manicured perfectly. Many of the holes are the same as the Osprey and it is a little hard to see the changes except for the conditions. They have fixed many of the drainage problems.

The staff is unreal. The valet knew my first name (without looking at the tee sheet) and pro shop staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant is pricey by very good.

The only complaint I have is that the GPS yardage a were consistently off, some by as much as 10 yards. Have a laser with you. That will help with yardages. Greens could have been faster but probably avoiding potential stress problems for rest of year. Pricey but hey, you are on vacation right?

Enjoy this one. It is a redo.

Solid course

Unmatched service. Course is undergoing a lot of sod work. Must be replacing sod on most if not all the holes. Course is very tough but fair. Raised greens demand a premium on approach shots. This is NOT a good course for the weekend golfer to play on a regular basis. Many would quit. Low handicappers will love.
