We really enjoyed this course. It has varied and beautiful holes, some overlooking the ocean. The makeshift pro shop wasn't much, but you don't go for the shop. I've played many beautiful courses, but this was right near the top of the list. Sheep, turkeys, birds dot the course on different holes. Highly recommend.

My son and husband golfed here and loved every minute of it. Us girls went shopping but the view from the course was beautiful and my husband is anxious to play there again soon.

The club restaurant is simple fare but done well and served hot. The view is pretty good too. Take your putter along and strike a few balls before you grind. Watch the whales, boats, canoes and sometimes the waves breaking. Sunday brunch is great and you do not need reserv. most times. Good lil bar where if you just want... More

It may be off the beaten path, but it is well worth finding! The course was in exceptional shape from tee to green! The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating (We were able to play as a two-some even with an early tee time). We enjoyed the layout and were pleasantly surprised with the wildlife attractions along the way (goats,... More

My father in law and I played 18 while on vacation and loved the course. It was surprising in many ways - the staff was friendly and helpful, the wildlife that met us on the first tee and throughout the course was memorable: sheep, lambs, Nene, mallards. The 17th and 18th holes were some of the best I've ever played... More

this is a beautiful course, with views that reach right down to the ocean. The cost is reasonable and the course is really nice. There is not club house, or I couldn't see one, so pack a lunch and some drinks.

My husband and I played three rounds of golf in one week during our visit. The course was beautiful and challenging at the same time. The turkeys, baby sheep and other wildlife was unexpected and truly enjoyable. The course staff were very attentive and the after noon rates were very affordable.

We played this course several times in the afternoon to get better rates. Three times we were able to play as a twosome, which is nice. The course is in very good shape, with great views and a lot of fun to play. There is a selection of clothing etc in the pro shop. We brought our own drinks and... More
