The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A beautifully kept private course with fast but fair greens, well-maintained bunkers and standout water views, especially around the 17th. Called a hidden gem by people who grew up on it, and the patio overlooking the bay shows up as much as the golf itself.
Consistently praised
- Views over St. James Bay, particularly from the 17th.
- Greens are fast without feeling tricked up, with pin placements that stay fair.
Worth knowing
- Private club, so access depends on knowing a member.
Golfers recommend
- Do not skip the patio post-round; reviewers single it out.
- Expect up-and-down lies; work the ball rather than overpower the course.
