Justin Hamby

Pretty decent course. Muni quality. Greens are just shaved down fairway so just have fun with it. This course either has tremendous potential or was the most amazing course back in the day. If the greens were typical golf greens, this would be 5 stars from me. The club rentals are like if your middle aged cousin who played in the 90's went to a thrift store and cleaned them out.

Alan Mc

Played here on a Saturday end of May 2025. Only cards are accepted, no cash. No queue or tee times required, a very relaxed atmosphere. 25 minute walk from the cruise ship terminal. The course is what you pay for, inexpensive, but I enjoyed my time immensely. Greens are not the best, bunkers are grassed over, barely any water in play, rough can be thick in places, but a fairly easy course. Will happily come back to play here again 👍

Daniel Beekman

Positives are friendly staff and pace of play. The course including the green is made up of mostly weed. Trees overhanging the some holes on the fairway make it extra challenging. While it is pretty inexpensive, I would only recommend for casual golfers or those just learning the game.
