Beautiful old course with super pure conditions. Greens will kill your score here if your speed is off. Very cool clubhouse with friendly staff. Handful of very picturesque holes. Plays incredibly different going towards and away from the clubhouse with the coastal wind.

First off… US Open track so there’s history here. It’s a very solid track that makes you think about every single shot you take. The fairways are tight and lined with fairway bunkers throughout.

It isn’t the south course, but it’s still golf on the ocean. That is as much as I can say about it. As a Minnesotan I played here in the winter so my view was skewed as I was just thankful to be playing golf, but this is a glorified muni.

I don’t think there’s another course that has a better mix of atmosphere, golf course, and amenities. I wish I could play here everyday. Truly doesn’t get better. Enough hard holes to keep you on your toes and enough getable holes to keep you coming back.

I really enjoyed this golf course. Old school layout with not many trees and many holes easily visible across property. I thought the architecture was cool with small greens and bunkering.

Challenging Dye track in a beautiful private neighborhood. Friendly staff, solid practice areas. Food is subpar but there’s a great view of the course from the restaurant.

Semi private course tucked away in a very nice neighborhood. Lots of fun holes with great views, pretty challenging. Greens were quick but some of them were a bit shot. Pace was alright, with it being a resort you expect some slow golfers.

A really solid public track in the SD area. Very scorable front 9 and a more difficult back. It was in very good shape when I played and the pace was fine, not super speedy not slow. I really enjoyed the handful of island/peninsula greens.

Great value for the view, flat and relatively easy for a decent golfer. It feels like it’s nicer than it is simply because you can see the ocean from nearly every hole.

Great course in great condition. Amazing greens. Pace was perfect, no waiting. Practice areas are pretty terrible, mats only range with hard yellow balls and one tiny putting and chipping green.
