Played Shell Landing on Tuesday, Feb. 21st, 2012 and feel totally ripped off. For a course that charges $100.00 green fee I expect that it not have too many blemishes. That’s a lot of money for a round of golf! They must think a lot of their course because it was horrible in relationship to that kind of green fee! For example…there were several occasions where I had to move my ball on the green to get to a place that had a consistent surface to putt on due to areas that had recently been grafted. Now I know that courses have to do that kind of maintenance from time to time but remember, the green fee is $100.00! (IMO, that alone blows the roof off the green fee.)The bunkers had mostly mud bottoms and were mostly un-kept in the fairway. Now...I must be fair and mention that we had 3 inches of rain within the last 72 hours but...OK...if your course isn't in shape to charge that kind of grn fee then discount the damn thing!! My buddy and I had to agree on how we would play any future shot that found a bunker…$100.00 green fee Huh???? There were several other things but hopefully, I’ve made my point.
I believe that Shell Landing takes advantage of the Casino guest that just want to play golf and don't do any research on the local courses. I am local and have played this course approx. 3 times over the past five years and after this past experience I will never go back. Let them take advantage of the out of town Casino golfers. Btw: I used a Gulf South PGA Pass Book that allowed me to play for $55.00. It wasn't worth that amount much less the $100. Hope this saves the golfing population some aggravation.

Challenging course and must have a good short game to score well. Bunkers galore and plenty of elevation changes...You will use every club in your bag...Excellent course that challenges every level from Pro on up. Tee boxes to fit all levels...Excellent practice facilities. Greens are a good test of your putting abilities. Premium course and facilities at moderate prices.

This course is a nice additional to the GUlf Coast courses, if a bit remote. The greens are quite challenging. It has challenges for all levels of golfers. Although wet when I played the course was in good shape excepting the traps

Customer Service

Customer service was good with friendly, helpful staff. They could use a marshall tomove play along though.
