$51 (cart included), played on Wednesday, December 1969 at 7:35 AM
Played here 10-17-15 as part of a group. This was the last of the "Big Cats" courses we played, and it was the least impressive. An OK layout, but only one memorable hole (#4, I think), a dogleg left, with the second shot over a wide pond: #1 handicap hole). Otherwise, it's a pretty ordinary course. Conditions were good, and anywhere else, this would be a desirable layout, but it suffers badly by comparison with its peers at Ocean Ridge. If you only play one of these, choose Tiger's Eye: it is the most entertaining, by far. Even though the terrain is essentially flat, it is not a walkable course, as distances from green to tee are significant. From the clubhouse to the first tee is at least 1/4 mile. Staff was cordial and welcoming, and the drink-cart ladies were especially warm and friendly. Nice bunch of folks. Anyway, not a bad investment of four hours, but there are better choices sharing the same property. Be forewarned!
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I won't play again, I wouldn't recommend this course, Average course for the area
