I know it's late-season

To many flaws in the greens, including holes that could hide a ball. Come with enough balls to lose several in the leaves--although you may find others.

A Senior Challenge

Water, water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink despite many generous fairways. The greens are in good shape, but the bunkers could use some sand. The electric carts make driving the course quick and quiet. Be prepared— the hardest hole is second in line.

One of my favorites

An enjoyable and forgiving layout with annoyingly challenging greens and pin placements. Electric carts make conversations possible And it’s a great value.

I’ll Play It Again

The west course is scenic and generously spacious. with plenty of shade. The greens are reasonably challenging and well maintained. The score cards could use more yardage detail and less advertising, since the GPS system is lacking some (a few water hazards came as a surprise). But it’s hard to lose your ball.

There are better 4 star courses

Good for resort residents and campers. Some scenic holes on the higher back nine. Lady bugs in the fall season woods are a nuisance and the sound of gun shots nearby were unsettling. Errant shots mean lost balls, stroke penalties...and might be avoided with clearer descriptions of some holes. People are friendly, but I'd look for another 4 star course, if I came back to the area.

You Need a Few Extra Balls

Very scenic course with elevation changes on many holes. Target holes mostly on the back nine. Fast greens--stay below the hole. Amenities are a plus. The better you are, the more you'll enjoy this course--it is challenging the farther back you play.

Water the Challenge

A wooded but wide course, well maintained. Staying in the short grass and out of the water was hard with the wind that seemed always in my face. Getting out of the long rough was challenging and finding a ball in tall grass takes time and slows play.

Windy cold start, but great later

Early season greens were bumpy. Course is easy to follow. Wide course...hard to lose balls, GPS works. Great fun if you play the wind well on the island green....could if had a bird!

Hit'em Straight . . . or bring lotsa balls

Greens and pin placements were brutal on several holes, as were a few blind approaches. It was a target golf challenge for this retiree.

If it were closer, I'd play more often

I returned after several years. I was glad that my single partner was familiar with the course--it was a little challenging to figure out targets, especially on longer holes with doglegs. The greens were in good shape (hope all the golfers repair divots). It was a great deal on GolfNow.

Windy but a Pleasure

Until the last hole, the challenge was enjoyable; but water on the left, right, and in front . . . I chose the wrong club(s). Next time I'll try to be smarter.

Hit it Straight and Long . . . duh!

It was a very enjoyable round, although the bunkers has suffered some significant rain damage and drainage problems, and the greens suffered from un- repaired divot damage that suggests users need to do better..
