Very tight. Not really a driver course. It’s in a neighborhood and the homes are just way too close and takes away from what could be a decent golf course. A couple of frustrating golf holes made worse by the narrowness around the course

…not a fan of a hole with a long forced carry on the last hole. Long distance between holes Unorganized Parking Lot Bag Drop area seemed not very functional ability and starting holes across the street causes confusion

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Sunset Beach, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
