The annual SXM carnival tournament is going on this week, and while the course itself doesn't look very pretty, they're all out there having a good time.
Fixed? It is what it is!! The sprinkler system is defunct so no rain means a brown course though they do usually water by truck for the tournaments even though it perhaps doesn't look that way. It's a little better maintained otherwise, than it has been prior to last April but Pebble Beach it isn't!! Some avid family golfers say yes, it's a disaster in some ways, but still a fun course with some interesting holes and they always have fun with it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Again, it isn't Pebble Green and no one I know goes to the trouble of bringing their (good) clubs anymore, but unless you're a true 'golfer' it's a fun play and everyone has the same advantages or lack there of. If you play it as 'something else to do on the island' and with a sense of humor, it's a fun play. If that's not the case, save your golf for Stateside and enjoy the beach and water time instead. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

My husband golfed on the course the last time we were there with a guest, and after they were done, the guest asked to play a different course the next day. We laughed, saying you have to find another island to play another golf course, that is the only one on the island. Our guest seriously considered doing that, ultimately deciding it was too pricey an endeavor. Also, I thought they only played 9 holes they were done so fast, but they said they did 18, next time he said they would walk it. I can't fathom bringing your own clubs for a course that is somewhat lackluster, but I have to say I see more people every year golfing on the course. Also saw workers trimming weeds and such every day, too. There is so much sand on the course, watering doesn't do much good.
