Enjoyed the course as it was not too difficult for a beginner like myself, but yet proved to be still challenging for others in my group. Only complaint were the slow greens, which needed to be mowed.

I've been playing here since it opended 1991. the practice area includes grass tee area, bunker, etc. The teaching pro, Paul Cox is extremely competient. the 18 hole course is sensible but can be made challenging from the long tees. the conditions are perfect. the downside is a mediocre club house (looks prefabricated) and the food is not great.

As you enter the clubhouse, you might say, "Meh." Walk outside to the range and tee off of the nicely manicured 1st hole and change your mind. The course is challenging, but, fair. The houses seemed a little close for comfort, but, I'm not the one living in them. My buddy did shank an iron on a par 3 that... More

The golf course is very clean and well kept thanks to Troon Golf. The friendly staff and good service definitely improved the experience. One thing I recommend is to bring your own water - small 500 ml bottles - because I never ran into a drink cart. The golf cart comes equipped with an ice-filled cooler, which came in handy... More

I was disappointed in this course. The holes were not memorable. One after the other seemed the same. I will not go back.

Westin Resort is out of the way and relatively inconvenient if you want anything other than what are on their grounds.That being said a good place to relax play golf or tennis and eat

This is the course that you have to drive to from the villas. It is not that far at all - but not on property. They have a great snack bar and delicious burritos for breakfast.

My husband and I have played this delightful course twice this month, once on our own (coupled with a single) and most recently with two other couples, friends of ours. We are of mixed abilities with two of the men routinely shooting in the mid to high 80's, some of us ordinarily shooting in the low to high 90's and... More

Prior research on the course showed spotty reviews, but I decide to take a flyer after spotting a $89 special for free same day replays on their website. The plan was to booked a 7.30am tee off time followed by another 18 hole at the Peter Dye course in the afternoon (in hindsight play the PD before the GP if... More
