Green Issues

I know it"s a bad time of the year, but the greens are going to need some immediate attention. I think it is poana grass that starts growing instead of the normal grass. It causes the ball to hop like a bunny towards the hole. The usual greens are moderately fast but true.

Great back 9

We got paired with a couple who plays the course frequently which made the experience really pleasant.

Greens are undulated leading to a really fun time.

Main issue I have with the course is the front 9 gets flooded somewhat regularly which leads to a very inconsistent fairway and rough but it’s not horrible.

All in all a great course for the price and has a few bathrooms along the way.

Horrible experience!!.

First time visiting this course. Staff was super rude, no helpful at all. Mason the employee at the counter had a really bad attitude with my family. The club house doesn’t have anything to eat. No snacks or even water for sale. The course conditions are in very poor shape. Fairways were dry. We paid to play 18 holes and end up just playing 9 because even restrooms were dirty. I would never recommend this golf course to a friend.

Coastal golf

Fun track, challenging always windy. Fairways decent but bumpy. Green's in good shape. Bunkers in bad shape. Noticeable improvements, re-paved cart paths. Rough decent, weeds under control and mowed. Good value for the money.

Don't play here

Course was in rough condition, due to heavy rain. Lots of winter kill areas that took up most of some fairways. Rude players jumped in front of us on 10, then proceeded to play slowly. No on course marshal.

Bayou

They had a lot of rain the day before, was very muddy. Was challenging, greens were in good shape, would like to play it when it was not so muddy.
Driving Range was closed, snack bar was closed this was very disappointing. Showed up 2 hrs before tee time to warm up but range was closed. They had a par 3 course that the greens had not been attended to and the grass was so long ball would not roll

People need to give this course a break!

This is a fun layout with a nice blend of interesting holes at every skill level. Yes, there are some areas damaged by tidal waters, but except for one hole, it didn't detract from the play. The area had two days of strong rain storms a couple of days ago and except for some casual water, it played fine. You can't beat the rate. I would recommend not playing hole #6 unless you can hit a carry shot about 200 yds. For duffers like me, it's too much. But overall, I enjoyed it a lot.

Good people, course less so

Staff are friendly and helpful. Since it’s a municipal facility, expectations have to be adjusted downward. The greens are decent. Some of the fairways are rough—large dirt/mud areas which make it impossible to get a good shot even with a good drive. I will play here again as it’s inexpensive relative to other nearby courses. Just be patient with the course.
