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.

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.
