Historically, this course was a great value for the money ..... since re-opening, after re-sodding some/all of the greens in 2014, the fees have escalated ($38 with a cart on weekends), you're no longer able to bring your own cart (unless you pay for an annual membership/trail fee combo -- the better part of $1,500), the overall condition (drainage, etc) hasn't been significantly approved.
While a few palm trees & an additional statue have been added, only about 50% of the original asphalt cart paths have been replaced with concrete; erosion continues to be a problem on several holes.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I wouldn't recommend this course, Worse than average course for the area
Layout, No Houses on Course
