I loved playing here. A challenging course for sure. You have to play smart as the bunkers will make you pay if you get too aggressive. The staff is fantastic. The starter was great too - providing great tips for me as a first time visitor. The sand traps were fluffy - my only criticism here is they had some decent sized pebbles in them. Those should be sifted out. Driving range can be tough to find too - but again, this is nit picky of me. Overall, great experience and worth booking a tee time for sure. Last comment: the breakfast sandwich was delicious.

Played on Saturday afternoon. The round took five and a half hours!!! With tee times being set nine minutes apart, there's no reason for anything over four and a half of they managed pace of play. The people working the snack bar and beverage cart were friendly and helpful, but that's where it stopped. There's a bag drop, but nobody is stationed there and they don't really give much customer service. For the price they charge, and the neighborhood the course is in, I was surprised and greatly disappointed! I'd recommend finding somewhere else to play if you want consistent customer service. The course was in decent shape and the greens were quick, but not overly so. They rolled true, but it didn't distract from waiting on almost every shot. One of the two people I was paired with, had to leave after nearly five hours in the heat caused them to feel unwell. If they get some marshals and manage the pace, it would probably be a lovely course, but for now it's a hard pass for me.

Probably would rate about a 4.5, but felt it deserved the 5 over the 4. Course is challenging, and if you enjoy a day on the beach (sand) ... this is the course for you. Lots of greenside and strategically placed fairway bunkers. Staff I engaged with were all extremely friendly and customer focused and helpful ... from the Pro Shop, to the Starter/Marshall and even grounds crew. What I didn't totally appreciate ... apparently some golfers need a friendly reminder to rake bunkers, repair divots, and fix ball marks. Friendly reminders may be needed. That's why a 4 rating was considered. Fairways wide and greens undulating. Not much water, but plenty of waste areas. Definitely will be returning.

Played this beautifully maintained course on Tuesday 14 March. Greens and fairways in great shape for this time of year. Challenging but fun course with lots of bunkers. Stunning setting with towering, beautiful firs, and houses on the course are set back far enough to be barely noticeable. Nice carts that are well taken care of. Brandon in the Pro Shop was outstanding - very professional, knowledgeable and amiable! I'll definitely be back! This was my 219th course played since May 2019! 👍♥️🏌️🇺🇸

I'm writing from hole 15. We teed off at 9:36 AM and are now 4 hours in with four holes still to play — we're on pace for well over 5 hours. The group directly ahead of us has been the problem all day. They appear to be drinking heavily, are laughing and socializing between shots, and show no intention of picking up the pace. We called the marshal from the tee box on hole 3, when we were already 35 minutes in. We told him the group ahead was slow and was spending time ordering drinks from the cart girl. When he came, he told us the group in front of *them* was approaching the green on the next hole, so they weren't actually that slow. That explanation doesn't hold up. We are now on hole 15 and have not once seen the group in front of them — not on the front nine, not on the back. The marshal came by again on hole 13 and gave us the same answer, saying they were "just 1.5 holes behind." Again, we have never laid eyes on that group. More importantly, the pace never changed after either of the marshal's visits, so we're not convinced he actually spoke to them. One more detail: the group played the white tees on the front nine but moved back to the black tees on the back — playing longer while already holding everyone up. We'd appreciate the course taking pace of play seriously, especially on a day this busy. Frankly, this is unacceptable — we paid for a round of golf, not a five-hour wait behind a group the marshal never addressed.
