1. Carter
2. Island
3. Beaver
4. Greystone
5. Santa Maria

1. Beaver
2. Carter
3. Santa Maria
4. Copper Mill
5. Island
6. Greystone

Would rank Santa Maria higher but that place get so many rounds. Not sure what shape Greystone is in, haven't played it in a while. Island will be ranked higher when they catch up after being closed a while.
Forgot about Copper Mill. Been in great shape lately.

Which ever one isn't absolutely slammed when I go is my favorite.

I’d include pelican point links course in the mix.
I think pelican pt is semi private -
Greystone is definitely private.

Good list

Since when? Played there like 2 mos ago.



Pelican use to swipe your DL and allowed a non member 5rds a year. I think they've let that slide though and you're good to go whenever. Courses need money.

Well I could be mistaken- I just had to play with a member when I played at greystone.
I guess I’m totally wrong about this. Maybe I needed a member to help me setup a tee a week in advance.
Thanks for keeping me in line

Greystone Non-Member rates


Maybe they changed. Hopefully a member will chime in and straighten this out. Was going to try and play there in a few weeks. I like the layout.

Greystone is semi private just like Pelican, Carter, and the Island. All have memberships who get priority but rely on public non-members to fill tee sheets.

Wednesdays are as good as it gets for non-members at Greystone in terms of greens fees

I don't mind Beaver, but other than a few of the holes on the back 9 the layout is a bit bland. I also am not a huge fan of courses like Santa Maria where there's just a ton of houses right on top of the course. At Carter the houses are at least somewhat hidden or not on top of you. If Copper was in better shape it would be a lot higher ranked for me because the layout is unique and fun. More courses should do the 6 par 5's, 6 par 4's, and 6 par 3's

I wish they'd bring the lunches back.
