Course needs new cart paths

For an expensive golf course they should have cart paths that don’t have potholes all over. The greens are good but the sand traps need to have more maintenance on them. The layout is excellent but they are overlooking the small details that make a great property

Course is in great shape

I played on a wet and cloudy day yet the course was still in fantastic shape. The pace of play was amazing on a Tuesday morning and such a delight since it typically takes 5 hours minimum for 18 here. If you can go during off-hours, it’s definitely worth your buck!

Challenging and well maintained

This was the perfect day to golf this course - mid 70"s and slight breeze.

The course was challenging but well maintained. The pace was well controlled.

Dramatic and different, but value?

It's a fun layout in a truly unique location – on top of a landfill in the middle of an industrial/port area. Meaning there are some really great natural areas and cool views.

It''s tree-less and often breezy (a really windy 25 mph when I played) so it's built for this with massive fairways and greens. There aren't trees as a penalty for errant shots, so the thick thick rough and heather-covered mounds really are. You want to be in the fairway. Unfortunately, bunkers in front of many greens mean you can't run it up like tree-less links courses,, which made some holes nearly impossible to get on in the insane wind.

You have to play a variety of shots off the tee – driver isn't always the best choice. No two holes are the same. Cart GPS is really helpful.

The greens were nice and ran true.

But some tee boxes were a bit chunked up and shaggy, the bunkers didn't seem dragged or raked, and the asphalt cart paths are just trashed. Plus, they had just cut the long grass in areas and it just smelled of rotting grass a lot. That's tough when the weekend greens fees are in the $125 range. Look for GolfNow specials.
