I love this course, it is our home course.  The difficulty is good to keep your game in line.  Jim Sweeters is right, a lot of holes look easy but they are not.  Creativity is cool with the nautical theme fitting in with its location.  But beware, if you go after dark bring insect repellent, it gets quite gnatty.  They have a snack shack that isn’t always well stocked.   The only downside that I see this year is some routine maintenance that has been let go,  cleaning the carpets good to remove a lot of the scum that builds up in the carpeting.  It is beautifully landscaped but this year they don't seem to be keeping the tree tidbits very well vacuumed off the course.  
Some of the metal strips that hold the carpet down at the teeing end are missing screws (trip hazard).  Otherwise it is a beautiful championship course and deserves to be well maintained.  I did find the $7.00 fee a little pricey this year compared to other courses, the only players that get a discount are 2 or under (free) if accompanied by a paying adult.  Strange, shouldn't they be accompanied by an adult anyway.  It is definitely worth playing especially for the serious mini golfer.

P.S. Don't forget bug spray
