Update 4-21-26 I must say they are working very hard on the entire course. It’s beginning to look much better. Still has a way to go to catch up to the price per golfer. At least they are trying. 2/26 Country Club prices but it’s definitely no country club pro course. $38 per golfer. Everyone pays $10 per golfer for cart and $28 for 9 holes. 6 pack of Coors = $17.50. Little high priced and the course needs a lot of TLC. The parking area needs a lot of work also. Overall I’d give it a grade of C/C-.
Awesome 9 hole course that has recently installed brand new greens compatible to the best courses in SanAntonio and Houston. For $125 a month membership you get unlimited play for you and your family and the option to purchase your own cart barn and can bring your own golf cart. A hurricane Harvey survivor owned by the members this is a great deal for any golfer. All of the brand new greens will be ready for play by the last week in August.
Your course? Well, I knew what we were getting into before I arrived at the first tee. However, your "short syndrome" power tripping Starter ruined it before I even got outta the cart! The man has zero hospitality skills. Why the GM would put him out there beats the hell outta me. So, I'll let Mr. GM chew on that for a spell. He owns that one. It's on him!
Our first time here from up north and was discounted at the condition of the course as it was the complete opposite of what they trued to protect from the pictures. Felt like I was playing in a pasture. Very over priced for the value.
Played on 6/30/24. First time on the course. $25 for 9 holes, 7.50 for carts, x2 for me and my 18 year-old son, plus tip, equated a total cost of $71. Pricey for a pasture in my opinion. Staff was very courteous. This is a very low key, laid back place. Dress code is non-existent, which helps in the 107 degree heat index. The course itself lays out nicely with LOTS of space and straight holes. Not much bend, elevation change, or trees. Like I said, a pasture. The course is a mixture of different grasses. Have to say, I've never played St. Augustine fairways until yesterday. Most fairways are comprised of Augustine, Bermuda, Johnson grass, creeping Charlie, dollar weed. The greens are passable on most holes except for those "domed" and elevated greens. Why do ALL small courses do that? Three feet in elevation on a mound is not fun for anyone. Pace of play was fine except there was a group of EIGHT playing two spots ahead of us. I get it, I'm local as well, but come on. No marshals for this course so just grin and bear it. For the price, this course just wasn't worth it. I'm not a golf snob and don't belong to a club. Just a guy who plays maybe once a month somewhere. For about 10 bucks more, you can play very nice municipal courses in Corpus Christi with a cart AND 18 holes. Oh, and if your kid is 18 or under, they PLAY FOR FREE with a paying adult. I wanted to love this course as it's 9 minutes from my house. Truth is, I just couldn't.
