Decent value - fun layout

Enjoyed the day on the course. Starter and Server in restaurant were very friendly. The layout is fun and most of the course was in good shape. There were some bare spots, but that pretty common this time of year. I would recommend this course and will return.

Course was ok

The staff was very friendly and the course layout was fun. Getting to play on a Hot Deal made the price right. Pace of play was slow and course had lots of bare spots, however, I will say both are very common this time of year.

Fun layout but pretty bare

Although it had a good layout with a variety of holes, this course has a lot of bare spots s. The pace of play was slow, but I’m not sure if it had more to do with the skill of the golfers in front of us or the course overbooking? The staff in the clubhouse and restaurant were very friendly and very helpful.

Course continues to improve

Although I only play this course 3-4 times a year, I notice an improvement each time. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The course is priced right and has a good layout.

The day I played the course had some players with a very relaxed etiquette. Our 2-some and another 2-some had to skip 2 holes to get in front of a group that decided to play their round as a 6-person best ball group. They seemed to have no awareness that anyone else was on the course. They were responsible for a painfully slow pace. Skipping 2 holes was worth preventing a 5+ hour round.

I also saw a group of 3 teenagers park on the grass near the tee boxes, instead of the cart path, and nearly on the fringe of the greens. Hopefully someone will be able to correct these issues.

I would definitely still recommend the course and hope what I experienced is not a common occurrence.

Course is in great shape

After reading reviews on this course a friend and I decided to give it a try. Don’t think because the course is short that it’s easy. You have to make shots to score here! Fairways were full and greens were quick and consistent. There was a good variety among the 18 holes. I’d recommend the course, then food at the 19th hole afterward.

Fantastic course

Playing this course on a weekday is the way to go. It’s very quiet and less crowded. As always it is in great condition! The staff are friendly, the greens are consistent and run true, and the fairways and tee boxes are full. The price puts this course as a must play.

Hot Deal patrons treated differently

Staff in Pro Shop were kind, starter and bag handlers treated me and others on Hot Deals like we didn’t belong. Sad to be treated rudely at a place that is supposedly special.

Course is better than most reviews I’ve read

Played today on a hot deal and had an enjoyable experience. Pace of play was great! Staff was friendly, as they always are. Greens were a bit slow, but very consistent throughout the course; which for me is the most important thing.

Although I saw some fairways and tee boxes in rough shape I don’t believe it’s within management’s control to change. Not only does this course have many Sand Cranes on it, but there is A LOT of construction going on near the course and it seems to be driving even more to the course.

The best thing anyone could do for Harmony is offer a possible solution to the Sand Crane problem. There must be some organization that could help relocate these birds before they destroy the entire course.

Course is in great shape

Played as a two-some early in the morning. Course was in great condition with fast greens. Price was a little high for this time of year. Every staff member we met was friendly and welcoming. Once we got around the five-some in front of us we played very quickly. I’ll definitely play here again.

Tough course for first time player

First time playing this course and it was very difficult to figure where to place shots. Course would have been much more enjoyable with more knowledge of the layout. The course was in very good condition. Greens have huge undulation changes making putts very tough.

Excellent course - very slow play

This course is always in fantastic condition! Unfortunately the pace of play was terrible from the very first tee.. tee boxes, fairways, and greens are all in great shape.

Great pace of play

Pace of play for a Saturday afternoon was fantastic as we finished in 3 hours. The tee boxes are all beat up, but the rest of the course is in great condition. The greens were consistent throughout the round and rolled true. I definitely recommend North Shore.

Fantastic course

Harmony is really in great shape right now! The greens might be a bit slow for some, but I liked the pace and consistency throughout all 18 holes. John in the pro shop is always very friendly. Harmony is well worth the price.

I’d pass on this one

I was first out so I didn’t think pace of play would be an issue. Finished the front 9 in about an hour and 20 minutes, which I realize is pretty fast, but playing as a single on a short course resulted in a quick 9.

Unfortunately when I got to #10 there was a twosome just pulling away from the tee box. I’m not a long ball hitter, but still had to wait for one of them to hit 2 more shots and the other 4 more shots before I could even tee off! It got even worse on the next hole as they both decided to hit 3 balls off the tee. By this time the 4-some that was 3 holes behind me caught up with me.

Because they were still 100 yards out I decided to skip the rest of the hole and move to #12. Because the course is pretty open I could see groups skipping whatever hole they were on. Clearly they had no intentions of letting anyone play through.

So between putting them out the back 9 (if the course did that) too late and no Marshal to prevent this type of situation the pace of play was negatively affected.

Although I enjoyed the layout, I agree with previous reviews - fairways are very thin and greens are very slow.

Really nice course

The staff are always welcoming and professional. The layout challenges you to use all your clubs. It plays long so do yourself a favor and move up a tee box - it will make the round more enjoyable I’m sure. The greens were mid to fast and rolled true. I would highly recommend this course!

I always enjoy playing this course. It is consistently in great shape whenever I play there. Greens are in good shape and quick. Starter recommended playing a tee box up and it was a very good recommendation. I'd definitely recommend playing.

Ranger needed

The greens on this course were fast and true! The rest. Of the course is in ok shape. The pace of play was terrible from the first hole!

Finally on hole #13 a 3-some 3 groups ahead of us stopped playing. From that point we were able to play at an adequate pace. A ranger could have resolved the problem.

Very relaxed course

I genuinely feel bad rating this course so low because it is obvious the owner and employees are trying to improve it! However, until they have someone out monitoring the players I cannot recommend it to anyone who likes to play where the players respect other players and the course. During my round I saw a group of 8, a group of 5, and a person riding on the back of the cart from hole 4 through 18. I saw many players drive the cart up to the tee boxes and greens instead of staying on the cart path. Maybe they are new players and don’t realize the damage they are doing? It is a fun layout with very friendly staff so I hope they invest in a Marshall so all their efforts aren’t wasted.
