This is a par 3 course that is suitable for a fun little break with close friends or family who are not very serious about the game. Serious golfers, thinking they can tune-up their wedge game will likely be frustrated by the pace and style of play. If on a lark, you can have a diverting couple hours. You tee off on artificial turf mats to appropriately tiny greens and holes range from about 50 yards to 150 with most in the 80 to 100 yard range. It is only a few hundred yards from the ocean, grass on sand with a kind of linksy look and feel, but it is really target golf. Scruffy pines and shrubs dot the course. The sand traps are funky. There are a few vending machines, but no clubhouse or even a decent outdoor seating area. With better maintenance and TLC, this could be a little gem.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
