💵 great value for a beach venue 5 mentions

From the reviews

27 holes. In good condition. Beautiful location. Valley course is challenging from the blues and extremely difficult from the black tees. Very nice practice facility.

★★★★☆ — Sunny, Oct 2016

3 distinctly different 9's. Beginners will enjoy the Meadows or the Woods. Medium and low handicappers will be challenged by all 3, but especially the Valley and Woods. There is plenty of practice area, from the range, to the pitching/ chipping area and a very nice putting green.

Getting married at Old Channel Trail Golf Course

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
