Marsh is a fun course thats not too challenging but will still manage to test the golfer in you. Beautiful scenery through the hundred year old live oaks.

It is a good value, has some fun holes, good layout and views. If I was really good and could hit it straight then I would likely rate it much higher. My recommendation is that if you happen to be a golfer that struggles to hit fairways then you need bring about two dozen extra balls.
