Great Value in Palm Beach County
Course is in excellent condition currently. I find the front 9 far more challenging than the back 9. Wish they had a range or nets to warm up in. Staff is always great.
Don’t waste your time playing here
This was my first and last time playing here. This course is horrendous and has a number of issues. The pace of play is extremely slow, the course is not maintained in the slightest, and each hole is way too narrow. The only grass on EVERY hole is on the green. Other than that, every fairway AND tee box is either sand or dirt. This course is not worth the money and you are without a doubt better off paying an additional 30-40 dollars and playing somewhere respectable (like Palm Beach National or Lake Worth Golf Course). I’m angry I took a day off from work for this and would have rathered to hit the range or just not golfed at all.
Great Staff, Course needs Love
This was a tough, narrow course! To make it harder the fairways were dry as dirt. The staff was very friendly and helpful and it is a shame that the owners don’t want to put some more love into this course. It could be a great establishment.
Slow Pace
OK golf course for the price. Good to practice short game. Pace of play was slow.
will return
old c.ourse with narrow fairways and a lot of water. Target golf
Unique Layout & Design
Great course for those looking for a challenging test but not overly long. Driver is not required but can be rewarded on some holes. I did not have my regular set of clubs with me. So, this course was a good fit for the clubs I was using and allowed me to use my feel and creativity around the greens. Just bring a couple extra balls. The first few holes are tight and balls will be lost if not in play.
Summary: A great course to begin or try out for a golf excursion.
Needs a little TLC
This is a great course for the money, and it played fairly quick. But it does need some work. The staff in the clubhouse was very courteous.
