Has it where it counts

No frills but pleasantly surprised by the quality of the greens, and subtlety of the layout. Greens were much better than the expensive sandestin resort courses which I played earlier in the week.

Hidden gem of Miramar beach

Just an insanely awesome course. The bang for buck is crazy. Was a US open qualifier about a month and a half ago, and it lives up to the hype. You will not be disappointed with the course layout and conditions. Just make the tee time, and get to the course. You’ll thank yourself after the round for coming here rather than anywhere else.
