Great course bad time management.
The course is beautiful and played great. However this is the 2/2 time that a group has snuck on at the 10th hole and destroyed what was a great pace. We were getting pushed by the sneak ons from the tenth hole on. The management really needs to do a better job of regulating that.
Nice course
Course is a great course. They are currently working on the bunkers on the front 9. Course play was extremely slow, took around 5 hours for a foursome that had a scratch player and 3 that shoot in the 90’s. Some holes had a backup of 2-3 groups waiting to tee off.
Pace of play
The course is amazing. The locals there aren’t good golfers. They allow 5 to play and most of them are absolutely horrible at golf. Get a Marshall and split the bad golfers up. I had to quit after 14 holes because we had 4 groups backed up on one hole because the local 5 some had 4 in the woods. Hire people or charge less
Beautiful Course
Absolutely awesome course with extremely friendly staff. The course reward good shots and strategic course management. The large greens do not invite aggressive pin hunting. Conservative middle of the green approach shots are a must.
Very nice
Very nice would recommend
High expectations met
Even though the course was wet from a week of rain it was still in great shape. A beautiful course. Some of the greens have significant undulation. Very nice clubhouse and great bar. Loved it and will definitely return.
Wet (to be expected) but slow (not expected)
The hurricane 3 weeks ago followed by less than ideal drying conditions made the course soggy but that was to be expected as all course in the area are currently plagued by wetness. What was not expected was the slow slow play! On one par five there were 4 groups on the hole! Lots of waiting due to 64 man tournament that went off at the start of the day. Wish I had known! I wish there was a way of knowing ahead of time!
Good course but priced high.
Good views, course was in good shape. Only time i talked to staff was at the starter to begin. No cart girl.
Average course, back nine had some sloppy greens that were challenging. Better courses around for the same price.
Scenic and wide open
Very nice views of wetlands and the course is very wide open. No narrow tee shots and the signature par 3 is beautiful!
My first time here today although very hot with a heat advisory there were plenty of ice cold water located throughout the course.
I’ll be coming back here for sure!
Great course
Really enjoyed playing thia course. Definitely a step up from my normal course. Properly reading the greens is a must. They were in great shape.
Great Course and Nice Views
Fairway and greens are always in good condition. Course has some nice views on the back 9.
