Pleasant casual venue with great views to the ocean and over the bushland. Staff were friendly and efficient, the food menu had a good selection of reasonably priced bistro options.

Rude, just rude staff. Not the first time, should have known better from the first experience. Definitely not worth sitting there for the view when the doorman was dismissive and the female staff are yappy. GO TO BRUNSWICK PUB!

I was expecting decent but fairly standard pub-type food, but I was pleasantly surprised & pleased by how good dinner was at my 1st visit to Horizons Bistro recently. The grilled barramundi was beautiful, & others at my table enjoyed their various meals, which included big serves of mussels, ribs, & squid (gluten free). Prices were decent. Cheers!

This course lived up to numerous high recommendations from people who have played it before. Very picturesque and enjoyable to play. Certainly some challenges but not impossible for other unlucky players like me who don't always hit it in the middle. Bunkers are in immaculate condition and it is nice when your wedge gets through the sand. Can't wait to play Ocean Shores again.

Lovely golf course and beautiful scenery. Getting too old to play golf here lots of water sometimes each side of a fairway. A good golfer should enjoy this course.

The views are amazing from this place. Looking west over panoramic green with mountains off in the distance. Looking east with the stunning blue Pacific Ocean.........and then the 3 different dining areas to choose from. Fantastic cuisine and service. Great value and an excellent experience.
