Called and got a 1pm time and headed down there and got there about 12 and was able to get out in 20 minutes. It seemed like a slow pace but we finished in 4 hours 15 minutes which for a Friday is great. There was a group 3 or 4 ahead that was slow but the marshal was on them and they didn’t close the gap but they did narrow it. It was also super windy today. Mostly 2 clubs most of the day.

The practice green still shows signs of punching but the greens on the course did not. Greens while they don’t look good they actually rolled really well and quicker than they looked.

Fairways were good. Good roll out and nice lies. Don’t remember and really bad spots but there were probably a couple.

Rough is down as it usually is. I never factored the rough into my club selection. However if you Get in the trees that align these fairways it’s like playing pinball. There is not even a lot of trees but somehow balls just seem to be attracted to them.

Tee boxes can be uneven at times and since this is a shorter course you do get some par 4s with divot damage.

Was in 2 bunkers and while they look crusty and hard they aren’t as bad as they look.

Customer service was great as I mentioned the starter and marshal. Cart girl came around a few times too. For $37 it’s a great value if you can time the crowd.

Played on Sunday, 2/25/18. Walked on as a single and to my surprise I got right out, 11:15am. Well done, Ken the starter is always a big help and a pleasure. POP was the usual 5 hours, always a struggle with all the play this course gets. Resident walk rate $40, can't complain. Beautiful views and a great walk.

Course is in pretty good shape overall. Teeboxes were nice, pretty level and not much divot damage. Nice and green. Fairways were really nice, never had a bad lie. Great coverage and had some roll to them. Bunkers were just fine, I found one and had no issues. Rough wasn't too long or penal. The greens putted pretty good, nice roll with no bumps. However, they seemed harder than normal and wouldn't hold shots very well, about half club of roll, I just planned on the rollout after a few holes and it worked out ok. They were extremely fast downhill and some of the cups were cut in diabolical locations, crazy big breakers and lightning speed sometimes.

All together, another great day. Sundays seem to be ok to walk out there if there's not tournament or special event.

Had to drop a coworker off at the airport yesterday and decided to try and get on. I called the starter and asked about the wait list, his response was "what wait list". I couldn't believe my ears and rushed over. I got there and a 2some just teed off and there wasn't anyone else scheduled to go for another 20 minutes. I teed off ny myself and crushed the first 7 holes in about an hour then everything came to a grinding halt from 8 on. Joined up with the 2some in front of me and we finished at 4:30 but played much slower. Pretty strong wind out there, probably 2 club difference.

Greens the best part of the course. Much faster than I thought, rolled my first couple well by. Generally good but this course gets a ton of play and so there are ball marks but honestly not as many as I anticipated.

Fairways are decent. A couple of areas are dried out but not what I consider in play. It does seem like with the maintenance they have focused the water on the greens and fairways.

Rough is well rough. Never thick to begin with and has dried out a bit and there are some dirt areas if you stray off the beaten path. However the rough on the right side of 12 is incredibly long. I'm not even sure you'd want to play it if you did find it.

Sand looks horrible but plays much better than it looks unless of course you find a footprint like I did.

On of the better value courses in the area but just be prepared for some slow rounds.

Played on Sunday, 8/27, I went by the course on Saturday and walked up to the starter and was able to get a 2:22 teetime for Sunday, lucky, I guess. They had a small shotgun in front of us that cleared out so POP was an amazing 4hrs, just great!

Course is in great shape overall. Fairways were near perfect and had some roll. Teeboxes were just fine, a little chewed up on the par 3s, but they were level as usual and always found a good place to put the peg. Greens were receptive and pretty smooth for the most part, they were a little bumpy around the cup after everyone trampled on the greens for the day, but that's to be expected late in the day, we didn't make any putts, at all, but I blame us for that. Found two traps and they were in good shape. Rough wasn't too penal, it was only a couple inches high and it was in good shape, so your ball sat on top for the most part.

Great day on a great course, always enjoy myself out there. Starters are always great, Ken was out there yesterday. Pro shop guys are great, too.

Finally played this course after wanting to for the last 25 years. The pace of play was at about 4.5 hours which was expected. The tee boxes were all level with good coverage and in great shape. The fairways were also in very good shape with most being covered with kikuyu - always popular near the coast. The fairways were cut short but the ball sat up well enough for good contact. The rough was slightly longer and thicker but one could still make a good stroke if you had to hit from it. The traps were well groomed, slightly damp with fluffy sand and very playable. The greens were very firm and not holding all shots into them - most shots would bounce and roll unless the approach shots came in from a high angle. It took us a hole or two before we started playing the roll on them. The greens were fairly quick and very large (some of the largest I've played in a while). Most all of the greens were tilted toward the fairway which made getting a shot to the back difficult. I found with the overcast skies and cool breeze that an extra club or two was needed on most holes. The staff was excellent and it was nice to see the marshal out on the course a few times. The sun finally arrived on the last hole and made for some great photos. I think the green fees are reasonable for what the course offers and would definitely recommend a round here!

Went out around 4pm on Sunday 4/2/17. 1st tee was pretty busy and slow groups were heading out. Starter Ken, great guy, always a pleasure, saw a gap over at 8 and 9, so he sent two of us out to 10th teebox. Very good move. We played the back in about 2.25 hrs, so it wasn't too bad, then we decided to go ahead and get in as many holes as possible on the front. My playing partner, Steve, and I turned it on, no one in front of us. We burned it up on the front nine and skipped 7 and 8, so not too bad, got in 16 holes. We played the front in 45 mins, it was great. Good job, Steve.

Conditions are above average, I've seen them better, but I've seen them worse. Teeboxes were fine all around except the par 3's, they were pretty beat up on the par 3's. But otherwise very good condition, they had the blues set way back, and they were good. Greens putted pretty smooth. late in the day with a lot of footprints, but most rolled out well. A few of them were pretty hard and didn't hold the shot, but most were receptive. Fairways were darn near perfect. Nicely mown and all divots had been repaired with sand, nice job people. Didn't find a sand trap, but they looked pretty good. Rough wasn't too penal, at all.

Always a great deal at $23 to walk twilight for a weekend. Almosts finished. Sundays are usually the best day to try and sneak out a walk on. Always enjoy myself out there, views are awesome and it's an easy walk.

Sorry for the late review, got out on Sunday Feb 26th. had a break in the rain and thought it would be a good chance to get out to my local course. Conditions are better than average, especially after all the rain we have been having. Greens were very nice, held shots very well and putted remarkably smooth for being so soft. Tee boxes were just ok, probably the lowlight of the course right now. Little patchy with quite a few divot marks on the par 3s. Fairways were excellent! never a bad lie. They drain well here and were soft with very little roll, but they were lush with not much divot damage. Found one trap and it was surprisingly soft, even after the rains. They should remain in good shape for awhile, recent sand seems to have been added. POP was way above average for this place, the weather scared quite a few people away, it was windy, rainy and cold. POP was at 4 hrs, which is great for Nado.

Overall, always recommend if you can get out. Resident Sunday rate is now $40 to walk and well worth it.

Took advantage of another break in the weather, as most places are soaked I headed to Nado which drains well. Checked in with the starter, went back to get my stuff and when I came back I heard him call my name, niiiiice! Went off at about 7:20, finished at 10:50. The course was in very good shape with some evidence of rain storms in palm fronds, wet bunkers (but I did have 5 sandies, so they played really well), then late in the round the wind picked up. Alway a great place to walk and under these conditions maybe the, or one the best places to play.
Tees: level and well covered
Fairways: not much run out due to being wet, but I found no soggy places whatsoever and as I played from the back tees, which are long for me, I had to hit a lot o hybrids and 3-woods and was able to pick them off the turf with ease.
Rough: minimal, but some spots of bother
Bunkers: I liked everyone I was in, which was 6 times and I got up and down on 5 of those occasions
Greens: great, smooth, medium speed (slow compared with Salt Creek the other day), well hit shots stopped and clunkers ran out a bit
Customer service: perfect, they got me out fast and then left me alone

I had a time somewhere else and with all the rain we got I wanted to play a course that drains well. I'm glad I came here because while it was wet you could not tell it had rained as much as it had the day before. This is by far the best course I have played that drains water exceptionally well. There were no puddles and I only saw standing water in 2 bunkers.

Pace of play was excellent. Put my name in at about 6:45 and was off by 7:15. Finished in 3 1/2 hours. There were were people to start but not much after us. We had 2 3somes behind us.

Greens were good and rolled well. Wet enough that approach shots made a mark but we went off early enough that they were smooth and faster than you would think considering.

Fairways were nice. No complaints. Divots about 50/50 filled and unrepaired. No dead spots that I recall. Nice to hit from.

Rough is usual. There were some spots that where it was thicker was a little tricky because the grass was damp. But really the rough is non existent.

Bunkers on the front 9 had been raked except for the edges of the bunkers. The last 5 holes were also raked again except for the edges. It was just the first 4 holes on the back that had not been raked yet but it looks like they were getting to it. The bunkers that had been raked were actually pretty soft.

Always one of the better values in the area and it looks like the rates may be increasing on 1/1 a little bit. It's great if you can get out early.
