Very narrow

The course was in amazing shape. Beautiful fariways with soft lush feel. Greens were very nice and true. Be prepared to lose a few balls unless you are a straight shooter. Short but very challenging and picturesque. Would definitely play again for golf now price.

Family Playground

Played while staying on property. Pretty fun layout, with hole #5 being a beast and a true championship hole. The problem is this course caters to families, which can often include beginner golfers, which is great, but really bad for pace of play when you have 5-somes and 6-somes (multiple) of families out playing. It's like going Putt Putt on a Saturday night with your family, except that this is on a real golf course. And as great a hole #5 is, it's a disaster for beginners, and completely bottlenecks the course. The family 6-some I saw a couple times could easily spend 30 minutes on this one hole. Follow that up with another really tough hole, but also a great hole, #6, and your round will come to a complete halt. Fairways were great. Bunkers not very well maintained. Greens were very spongy, healthy, but slow. The best part was the driving range. Being a practice junkie, they had some of the best turf I've ever hit off of. I'd love to have this grass to hit balls every day. They have a little practice "loop" of 3 par 3's that is really fun. You could spend hours just playing with you buddies and having a really good time. Overall, I'm glad I played it, but would hesitate to play again simply because we got to #5 tee box and completely got bogged down with groups in front of us. And there was no where to go. I'm not sure there is a remedy, as this is a family destination and besides the pool, the only activity available.

Pricey for 9 hole par 32 golf course

The course is excellently maintained. Beautiful and challenging, but par 32, 5 par fours and 4 par threes with two finishing holes both par threes. If you want to play golf in Port Aransas this is your only option.
