Played for the first time November ‘22 and back again a few months later. The addition of the warm-up area was huge. One of the reasons my group wasn’t quick to return was the lack of a driving range. Having the warmup area available is a game changer.

Starting in the parking lot having a cart delivered right to your vehicle is super convenient and gives the extra “touch” rather than lugging your bag up to the cart station or leaving them at bag drop.

With the construction around the golf course getting closer to completion the overall aesthetics of the course have improved.

As time progresses hopefully the tee boxes will get a little more attention. They weren’t great but weren’t terrible.

Greens were fast and in good shape, comparable to any of the better courses in the area.

Our group is mid-high handicappers and we play for the challenge but to have fun. Our two foursomes had an incredible time and pace of play wasn’t to fast that we felt rushed and were even able to get the whole group together after a few of the par 3s for “Swing Juice” and obligatory photo.

Beverage cart was around often enough and was friendly. There is an ice machine at one of the shelters that doesn’t work. It’d be a lot cooler if it did.

Club House has potential, but sitting at a round banquet table in the ballroom didn’t feel as warm and homey as other places. It’d be nice if they had some beverage and food service out by the pool.

No complaints at all. Just suggestions to make a great time even better.

After getting a new set of clubs I started playing golf again after several years.

I have played Eco about 7 or 8 times in the past 3 months and chose the course because it allows me to play a quick 9 holes after work and practice my game without spending a fortune.

In regards to course conditions, I don't have extremely high expectations (public course and I've never paid more than $18 to play there). Some of the greens are dried out with some weed patches (which is a great excuse for missing a 6ft putt, LOL). The fairways are in good condition, but can get pretty saturated after a days worth of rain (you are less than 1 mile from Atlantic Ocean, and probably 3 feet above the water table, what do you expect?).

The clubhouse is pretty simple, beers are priced reasonably, and the staff has always been very friendly.

Overall it is an enjoyable experience and I feel it's a great value.
