Has anybody golfed the marina course in the last week or two and if so, what kind of shape is it in? Do they have enough carts available now, hopefully they don’t follow suit and raise their green fees too much like Palma real did. Can’t wait to come down to zihau on Jan 21st for our 9th year in a row, couldn’t think of a better place to be in the middle of winter

Bear with me while I digress and post a pet peeve. Golf is not a verb!! You don't golf, you play golf! There, I feel better now.

According to several dictionaries, golf is also a verb.

Cambridge Dictionary

Although the noun predates the usage as a verb, the word is reported to have been used as a verb since the 18th Century. However, you are on to something with the debate on whether golf is solely a noun or both a noun and a verb. Supposedly, serious golfers never use golf as a verb. Check out this article from Golf Digest.

As my Dear Professor Dr. Weaver would say, "Is the meat around a pig's ass pork?"

If serious golfers never use golf as a verb, they would need to refer to themselves as golf players, not golfers.

Just some wonderful non answers you are getting. I haven't played there this year, but this is what I am hearing. The Tuesday morning ladies group is playing there. The price went up a bit since last year because some people can no longer afford PR. The course is in worse condition this year (if that is possible) than last year and they say they have no money to make it better. Ortega is bleeding it dry. Several of the PR regs have begrudgingly paid the increased green fees. Some people are going to be forced to find a different golf destination. Some already have.

Thank you very much for the update, it’s too bad that the course is in such bad shape but it is what it is. The way I look at it is playing on a lousy course with a few cold cervezas is still better than sitting in the frozen tundra watching the snow fly, just hope they don’t get too silly with the green fees like the pr did

I love golf just as much as the next guy but will not pay to play a course that refuses to maintain it and overcharge guests. Both courses need to lower the rates to 50 bucks carts and extra rider included. Stop playing games like you have something special to offer because you don’t.
It’s Mexico, your courses need to be overhauled and and prices dropped dramatically to bring people to your below average tracks.

Very well stated! I’ve played both courses in the past several years, but just feel very unfortunate that between the two of them, they have royally screwed all golfers who would like to play their sites at a really fair and reasonable rate, with good conditions. With the way things are now, golf has slid way down the To Do List!!
