If I could vote 0 stars I would. We showed up to our 7:40am tee time January 19 2024 at the Links at Divi in Aruba. We were greeted by an employee at the golf carts who asked us about club rentals and we started chatting, we said at some point that my brother and I were newer golfers and my husband plays all the time and is very good, he then replied, “that’s not good, you have to keep up” which we replied that we understand, we were not new to the “unspoken rules” of golf (We would tee off and then probably pick up at the green with my husbands shot) we’re accompanying my husband but we would probably end up riding around with him most of the time but were willing to pay anyways to take a couple shots! He took us inside and WARNED the woman at the desk that we were not experienced golfers. She then GRABBED THE MANAGER to inform us that we COULD NOT GOLF and we could MAYBE come back when “IT WASN’T BUSY” (Which it wasn’t??) AFTER WE HAD ALREADY PAID FOR A TAXI FROM OUR RESORT TO GET THERE AND I BOOKED TWO WEEKS AHEAD. My husband asked if there was a tournament going on or some event that would hinder us and she just said “no not today”. Another man (the only other customer we encountered there) checking into his tee time beside us who overheard the whole thing at the desk was also speaking up and saying to the staff “you guys seriously aren’t going to let them golf”? I was so embarrassed, disgusted, and angry that we were treated this way. We ended up just leaving after being humiliated, there is another much nicer kept course in Aruba we ended up going to and loving! So apparently unless you’re a phenomenal golfer, skip...
Read moreDivi resorts...you are better then this. The accommodations are excellent. The golf course...should be bulldozed over and more condos put up.
I didn't want to spend the money at Terra Del Sol, and it only had 9 holes open as well so I choose Divi. Paid $140 for golf and club rental for me and myb10 year old, which was using a golfnow deal. Would have $200 otherwise.
I thought other the course couldn't be that bad after reading other reviews. It's not the course that's so bad but rather the price tag. One reviewer put it best when the said club rental and 9 holes this place is worth $50 at best.
The layout is good. There are even waterfall features as you round 7, 8 and 9..beautiful. Fairways and greens are not resort quality, a grade below local municipal course at best.
Golf carts are richotey noisy things.
The clubs are just as beaten up as prior reviews suggest. The Scott Cameron putter needed a new grip several.years ago. There is one picture of how bad the grip is, and they are all like that. Come on Divi..take the money made from 1 golf and regrip all 3 sets of rentals you have. No excuse for how bad the clubs are.
No balls. No tees. No water.
I disagree with some reviews about bad staff. I found all.the staff pleasant. No idea about the golfnow reviewer feeling inferior. That didn't happen to me.
I 100% agree with others. Don't waste your money here, especially if you're paying full price. Spend the extra and play Terra Del Sol. Davi should be ashamed of the pack of quality of this course. It should dell it out and take its name off, or build more rental...
Read moreLeave the clubs at home until Tierra Del Sol is back. The price is way too high for what you get and the condition of the course. One of the few drinking stations had an expired water filter...flashing red. We were only informed of the $47 rental fee for an extra set of clubs after we paid. We always share because we only play scramble. He still emphatically said, "no." No carts were ready and charged so we didn't get more than a few minutes to warm up. The course is in poor condition with huge repaired patches with sand. Greens are very poor to horrible. No Marshall so the person behind us decided to jump us and then he held us up during the entire front 9. No sand for repair found in carts. Overall huge disappointment and would never have played there for $123.50 per person for twilight. Ridiculous. Rental clubs were beat, especially the putter, and they gave me two of the same club. If you’re going to make me pay for clubs give me some good ones.
Lower your prices and stop acting like a great golf establishment. This is a poverty course and should be no more...
