Good course with an interesting layout. Had to keep carts on the path due to soggy conditions. Nothing super memorable, but nothing really to complain of (though the only bathroom we saw was a portopotty on the back side with no door) Course is challenging enough to play it back. I'd consider playing it again, especially for the price.

Outside of Bandon, there are not many choices for golf along the coast of Oregon. Salishan is one of the few options for top notch golf in the central coast region. Course is very tough, requiring you to hit the ball both straight and far. The distance is deceiving as 380 yard par 4's into the wind can require 2 solid wood shots to get home. Three of the par 3's are also very long. Some nice scenic holes along the bay and glimpses of the ocean. Played it twice this week. While it was sloppy wet the first time (it rained a lot the night before), by the day after the course had dried out considerably. While it's nothing close to Bandon, it's by far the best option in the area.

Played the course on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty packed and we waited quite a bit. Course is quirky with lots of blind shots where you hope your ball ends up in play. Pretty short even from the back tees. Greens were atrocious, with at least 5-6 that had numerous bare spots covering large areas. Perhaps attacked by a fungus? Course would be good for new players as it is relatively short. If greens were better, I would give this course a higher score

Coming from California and visiting my daughter I wanted to play a little golf. Found some pictures of Lanier Islands and thought it would be interesting. What an amazing picturesque course. So many holes with water. Course is tough, especially if you are erratic. But the clear lake, clear sky, and great course conditions made for a great day. There are 4-5 signature holes in the layout. The greens are large with some bail out areas if needed, but miss in the wrong spot and you will be wet. Greens were the only disappointment, as they seemed to have many bumps and holes and were pretty slow. Maybe aerated in the last week or two. Puttable, but not perfect. Course was a blast to play. I will definitely be back

Caught a deal for $45. Would have paid nearly twice. Course was in great shape, really fast greens, amazing views. Loved the design, especially waterfalls on 8 and 17. Great layout and incredible value.

I've never been to Scotland and may never get there, but we thoroughly enjoyed Royal Links as a substitute. We experienced the unique bumps and rolls of a links course, hidden bunkers, bad breaks, and surprisingly quick greens. Course was in good shape, not immaculate but didn't expect it to be. Had a great time playing famous holes like the postage stamp and road hole. Staff was ultra friendly and got us from our car to the tee in 10 minutes as we arrived right at our tee time. Finished last two holes at dark as pace of play is going to be a little slow with so much trouble to get into especially if you haven't played there before. Not a course I would play weekly, but next time we come to Vegas, we will definitely be back at Royal Links.

Caught a hot deal here ($14!!!) and was impressed. Hard to play the first time through as there were some severe downhill shots that were difficult to determine distance. 19th hole is a real thing here, short par 3. Wind is always an issue. Greens were slow, but rolled OK. Interesting design. Will come back.

A good test of golf, Del Monte was a decent test at a decent price. Caught a $50 hot deal on a Sunday afternoon. Bunkers were in great shape. Greens small but reasonably quick. Looks and plays like a typical muni. Nothing particularly memorable about the course but nothing poor to note either. Would not pay the normal $100 price tag , but for $50 it was a good deal.

Nice hidden gem 15 minutes outside Pinehurst. Played both courses, Grey boasting superior signature holes, but I felt the Red was tougher. Played in 3 hours as a 3- some on each. Great layouts and designs. Greens on the slow side (maybe due to summer heat) but rolled very true. Great value for good courses. Only drawback was the attached pub was closed when we finished. Will definitely play again when I come back to the area.
