The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A Ted Robinson design golfers single out for its sheer number of towering palms, with more visual variety than many valley courses, rolling terrain, plenty of water and smaller greens. Reviewers love the immaculate conditioning but warn the rough is penal and pace of play can drag.
Consistently praised
- Hundreds of palms on every hole and more design variety than neighboring courses.
- Outstanding, immaculately maintained fairways and greens.
Worth knowing
- Thick rough swallows balls just off the fairway, and rounds can run long.
Golfers recommend
- Keep it in the short grass; the deep rough is genuinely penal.
- Water is in play often, so respect the smaller greens and play to safe sides.
