Mike
If the wind is howling, and you’re a 15 handicap, the course is challenging. I lost 8 balls due to blind/bad shots and shot well over 100. Having said that, I stopped numerous times to take pictures of the ocean bashing up against the rocks. Great experience for those that value a challenge and course is kept in perfect shape.Reviewer Rating

Initial impressions are that this is a club firmly stuck in a time warp when golf was for the privileged few and not the inclusive game it should be today. Maybe this is how they like it and for now they might get away with that attitude. Disappointing in 2024.

amazing course
It has its reputation for a reason, the views, the setting and the quality of the fairways and immaculate greens ( which were a bit to quick for us !) although we had a bit of on and off rain the course was kind and the wind did not blow to bad.Reviewer Rating
