Play this course every time but today was the worse. The fairways although dry were very soft and they were hollow /aerating the fairways. Greens not the best either. Always enjoy the last few holes out by the beach but this now could be the last time. Ocean was far superior 3 days ago. For the price though, still worth the round.

We enjoyed the Royal but the greens looked like they might have suffered from disease or over use.

also nice course, some not to nice people behind us. On 18 hole in twilight they alost hit us 2 times, trying to finish. Quite dangerous, I left de fairway.
We did not use the restaurant after the bad expeience. Will never go there again.

Course condition on some holes not great. Paths need attention.Slow play in front of us, limited marshalling to move people on. 2 groups on one 330 yard hole waiting on 3 4 balls ''taking their time'' in front bit disappointing as not experienced that before on this course.

Challenging course for 28 handicappers.Very well maintained. Love the buggies with GPS. which helps visual the hole, aids distance from hole A lot of water relative to what we are used to.o Slow play in front of us.

Very disappointed with the greens on both Royal and Ocean courses. Apart from that everything else was good.

Good course. Some iconic holes. In decent condition, but I have seen it better. Again there seemed to be too many people booked in. Round took 5 hours to complete.
