Peter

Practice facilities very poor, the green is patchy and weedy, the range balls are low quality

Course is in much better shape than practice facilities, good quick and true greens

Sand traps are poor, little sand and mud an inch below surface

Very friendly staff

You get what you pay for

I picked this course as it was litterly 800 yds from the Bahia Principe Resort where I was staying. Despite being so close you can’t walk to the course. You have to order a shuttle (staff from PB in golf cart to come and pick you up for $15.00). I played using GN hot deal at $80.00, do not pay more than that as the course is not worth it. Tee boxes are terrible and need new sod, fairways are OK but a lot of burnt grass. The “waste” bunkers are non existant as they are either very very hard rocky dead pan and un playayable without damaging your clubs. Or they are grown in with weeds. Greens were tiny with a lot of unrepaired and unfilled ball marks. Would not play again, definitely not worth more than Hot Deal price.
