great shape nice staff and a fair price would play again
Great combo of courses for low and high handicaps. Play all 4 (Lion's Paw, Tiger's Eye, Panther's Run, and Leopard's Chase) as a 4 round package is reasonably priced
Thanks for playing Lion's Paw, the Original Big Cat Course. We hope you enjoyed the new MiniVerde greens. You had to be among the very first to play them last summer! We expect many years of awesome putting surfaces as these new greens continue to mature. Thanks again.
Wonderful greens. Tee Times are probably necessary... A bit pricer than other courses but they do have seasonal specials...Nice course.
Lion's Paw is my least favorite of the four courses at Ocean Ridge. But the course has new greens and is in better shape overall than it was several years ago. It has been raining a lot in August and the cart rules were 90 degrees. Course was wet with no roll and played much longer than the card indicates. I played the senior tees and the biggest difference is in the par 3's. There are no easy and definitely no short par 3's from the white tees. From the gold I hit pitching wedge, 9, 4 and 8 irons.The greens don't hold well so it helps to land short of the hole on most shots.
well manicured greens and fairways and the course is laid out nicely.
This course is a good but not great course. It has some interesting holes, bust too many that you will not remember. A few holes are not layer out good, and makes them tough but not in a good way.Normally in good shape.
We booked Lions Paw with the thought that we would be playing a very well kept course. Upon entrance, the facilty appears to be well kept, and the staff was fine. We played in May and figured the course would be in excellent shape as were the other courses we chose for that week. (Cape Fear National, Thistle,,etc..) This was not the case. The greens were like concrete, which is ussually ok, but there seemed to be burnt out spots and some type of fungus on most of them. The fairways were mostly burnt out and filled with crab grass. the rough is patchy. The sand traps were all rock hard, and the cart paths were all cracked an felt like riding on a worn out road that hadnt been maintained in years. If you are truly looking for a well kept course in the area, I would reccomend Cape Fear National or Thislte over this.
What was impressive other than golf was the greeting by the staff at the golf course.They were very friendly,attentive to your nedds and wanted you to have a good time as a priority.We were very impress also by the food.
The have the new hybrid greens here and they are an exceptional putting surface. The course is hard but not too hard. Watch out for the gators.
