Great Course Layout but....

I will return but hope that as time goes along they invest more money on agronomy to improve the quality of the grass and trim, as well as improve drainage. Much of the course was damp, but being near a rain forest there might not be much they can do on that front. Eventhough the course was not in primo condition, it was fun and there were some nice views to be had.

The course is in good shape, but the pace of play is slow. Waited on every hole.

Nice course

Fun course! I come from Los Angeles where I play most of the public courses. I’d say this place is slightly above the average LA municipal. Fairways were nice. A little damp. Greens were very slow and not in great shape.

Course was well laid out and nicely maintained, VERY wet mostly due to rain but from what the maintenance crew said it is typically wet due to the proximity to the rainforest.

Looking forward to playing again!

Very wet

The people were great. Not sure how it usually is, but the course was really too wet to play. Cat paths only, very muddy.
Other than that it was fine.

Poor course condition

Overpriced golf course in poor condition. We planned to play both the river course and ocean course back to back but due to the river course being in poor condition, decided against spending another $280 (Friday morning/afternoon with rentals) to play the ocean course. Maybe the ocean course is nicer but we couldn't justify spending that amount of money for a golf course worth $40 in the states. The river course has a few scenic holes with mountains in the background but other than that, I can’t really remember any details of the actual course design. Some tee boxes were questionable, fairways contained crabgrass and were WET, greens had a ton of sand.

I do not play in this climate zoe often, but the quality of the grass is really poor.
In addition, a few greens were relocated by a lot and their cart map, hole distance markers, or 18 birdies were not updated. At least they should have warned about that during the check in.
At several holes the cart would not move due to the gps malfunction
The teeoff are had missing color marks
And many other issues that resulted in poor rating
In the midwest, much better quality courses are half the price

Good course at a reasonable price

Good course, with very slow greens and fairways very dry, I imagine because of the winter conditions.

Staff are friendly and service is good. We got better fees using Golf Now then reserving another round at the club.
