Review:

Good theming throughout, but not spectacular. Expect to find heavy use of water and waterfalls.

That's not to say there are lots of water traps. For that matter, the golf itself isn't really all that remarkable. I'd give the course points for effort - at least it TRIES to be original in terms of layout and course design - but the actual golf play is pretty standard.

Watch for some holes to cause backup - always an annoyance - but the lush vegetation just might make up for it. Of course, for those who get a thrill out of feeding baby alligators, this place will be fantastic.

One wishes the price tag were just a bit lower.
