The best thing about The Saints Golf Course is the $35 price point for 18 holes on a Sunday. At…read morethat price, it is absolutely worth playing.
The greens were nice and appeared to be in good condition, but they were incredibly slow. The course itself is extremely flat and wide open, and it reminded me a little bit of Okeeheelee in West Palm Beach. There is not a lot of trouble off the tee, and in many places it feels like an open field with greens and flags.
One important thing to know is that most of the bunkers are currently under construction. There is new piping and gravel throughout many of them, with holes around the piping covered up and little or no sand. A handful of the bunkers have been completed and have beautiful new sand, but most are essentially ground under repair. If your ball goes into one of those bunkers, you really have no choice but to take it out and play from around the bunker because the bunker itself is not playable.
I am not sure I would recommend this course to better players looking for a challenging layout, strong course conditions, or a serious test of their game. However, it is an incredibly fun track for beginners, families, and couples who simply want to come out, hit the ball, laugh, and enjoy a relaxed round of golf.
There are other courses in and around this area that are in better overall condition and more appropriate for mid- to low-handicap players. Those courses may cost twice as much, but they will provide more of what experienced golfers are generally looking for in a golf course.
Again, I want to be very clear: The Saints is absolutely worth $35 for 18 holes. It is a very good value for what it is. Just understand that it is currently a basic, open layout with extremely slow greens and most of the bunkers under construction.
