The island was great, but the course was a little underwhelming by comparison. Hole 1 has an interesting layout, but the rest of the course was only ok. Good vibes though.

I had no plans to play this course, but since I had some time to kill and the course was not very busy, decided to rent clubs and give it a shot. The course was in rather rough condition. I think the drought has caused serious issues with this course. Rough was very sparse, fairways thin, and just a general feeling sense this place has seen better days.

This course is not regulation length, but actually has a few decent holes. Enjoyed myself because I was able to zip around quickly and had no expectations with respect to a score.

Island living; that is what I aspire for. Played here Monday; walked up and literally opened the place up. Folks walk their dogs on the grounds early AM so be mindful of them. Teed off at 7-ish. Finished 9 holes around an hour and replayed the 9 again and still had time to make it back to the Bed & Breakfast (Mt. Ada) before 9am.

Rented clubs. Not my first choice, it's a mixed bag of old clubs so if you don't mind hitting really tired/old clubs then give it a whack. Several of those clubs need to be regripped by the way. First 9 were spent trying to figure out the club's tendencies and which clubs I could rely. The next 9 I at least figured out what these clubs would do.

Greens are SLOW. They have some kikuya infestation and you will need to hit the ball hard. Ball ran pretty true; just a little bouncy. Everything breaks downhill and towards the town so be mindful of pin location. Fairways are a little brown except when you get closer to the hole. Green complexes are pretty green and have full coverage. Bunkers are typical municipal quality -- a little loose on top with hard pack underneath.

Pace of play was a sizzling 2 hours for 18 holes. Not bad considering it is an executive style course with NO par 5 just a mix of par 4 and 3s. It's not a bad place to play considering it's the only game in town (literally). It's kinda casual here so expect to bump up against groups that move at a slower pace. Just be courteous and give way to the faster groups.

Did I have fun? Playing golf as a single is always fun. Bring out a group of non golfers and a few beers perhaps antics will ensue. It's was a fun round either way.

Played the course on Sunday 10/25 and really enjoyed the layout and views of the canyon. It is a tight track with target skills a must, in order to post a respectable score.
It's deceivingly more difficult than it meets the eye.
Kukua grass was pervasive all over the greens, which made the ball very slow and hard to read. Greens maintenance must be difficult with the current drought conditions.
Worth the play for $35.00. Don't worry about the score.

The course was in ok shape. I liked it but alot of kukua(could kill u) grass growing in to the greens. Bad customer service thou the pro shop was fine but after letting 2 groups play thru us one of the pros insalted me and my group asking if i knew anything about golf. When I anwsered yes he said than why are you playing so slow. We let 3 groups play thru and still played in 2 hours. I guess thats slow for the islanders.
