This was such a great golf experience, it was almost surreal. All the factors came together to make…read morethis an amazing day on the golf course, and I'm happy to share about it here. We booked a mid-morning tee-time on a Sunday during August, and were surprised at how much availability there was. For the uninitiated, this is the height of beach season, and all the surrounding beaches are full up. Most places rent from Saturday to Saturday, so I suppose us being willing to golf the very first full day "there" left most people enjoying their first day at the beach instead. Boy did they miss out, we were treated to 80 degree temperatures with low humidity, very very rare for this time of year. We also got to tee off on our own as a two-some, and the whole day, we mostly did not have to wait for anyone, nor did we have a group behind us. Literally a perfect day for golf. All the staff were laid back, starter was happy to let us go off whenever we were ready and avoid pairing us with another group. The course was in immaculate shape (we played Heron and Ibis), fitting the time of year. We did not see much in the way of areas needing repair. Lush fairways and trimmed rough. Sand traps (and there were many) all in good shape. Greens were fast, but, Fred Couples designed this course so that is probably intentional. The course isn't super long, much more of a premium on accuracy. I only used driver three times, mostly opting for hybrids or 3 wood. Carts were great, and the GPS on them was not the annoying kind that will shut your cart down without warning. We were visited three times for beverages on the course, and there were conveniently placed restrooms and water. All carts have a ball and clubhead washer on them, which was so convenient. After our round, we enjoyed lunch at the restaurant. Excellent service, prices were maybe just a smidge higher than area restaurants. I had their version of fish and chips. The fish was nicely breaded and plentiful, which was most important. Home chips and ranch were decent. The cole slaw it came with however, was completely inedible to my tastes. I have never seen more mayonnaise packed into cole slaw than this one. Kind of gross. My buddy got the club sandwich, which he described as "mid" so that could use improvement. Our waitress kept the tea refills coming, even though it was such a nice day, we were still hot and in need of refreshment after playing. Overall, we would absolutely come back to this course again, and will make it a priority to play each year.

They mentioned at check in that the greens had been punched 3 weeks prior so still had some sand on them. Most greens had patches on them I assume from loss during the winter. I feel like for the conditions the greens were in the price could have discounted some.

Well, in an unusual turn of events, all left hand clubs were rented during our tee time. They said that never happens. A big disappointment turned into an extremely kind and thoughtful gesture.

The pace was so good that I wish I had paid for 18 instead of 9. I played with some really cool guys. One of them lives on the course. Arnie's Revenge beat me again. I played much better today than I did on Tuesday. This is definitely a course you'd like to check out.
