Please note: this
course is part of a vacation resort community so it is only accessible to
resort guests.
Having said that,
this course is very simple and has very little flair. The landscaping is well maintained, and the
whole course is well shaded. The water
is clean, and the mats are in great shape.
Music is played all over the course.
Because of the name of the course we thought there would be more of an
animal theme, however, there was no evidence of this except for the signs that
had the hole numbers.
We had a couple
issues with this course starting off with the lack of pencils to use to keep
score. This course is somewhat
frustrating because the pars are not always in line with the difficulty of the
hole. There were a few holes where it’s
practically impossible to get a 2. The
clubs have really heavy rubber heads, and it’s hard to control the speed of the
ball. There are also rubber tee-off
mats, which we’re never fans of. The
combination of rubber putters and mats causes the balls to bounce a lot. The ball also easily gets stuck in the PVC
pipe on hole #13 because the pipe is damaged.
Overall, the only
way we would recommend this course is if you are staying in the resort and your
family gets bored of the pool. The cost
is family-friendly, and the condition of the course is very good.
