Goat Ranch with no clue of how to run a course

The conditions were treacherous besides the greens being decent, but slow. I arrived and was immediately told there was no way I would be teeing off at my assigned time of 1240. There was a ladies tournament and they were all over the course, meaning they were not monitored and put in place to keep pace of play for their 2 person scramble. I had a window to go between the groups, but was not allowed to and after 30 mins, the last two groups came through which I followed out at 1pm. It then took them 90 mins to play 5 holes , where they finished on hole 6, before I was able to go around them. The course didn't have a clue of how to run a golf course or a tournament, and they stated they have these golf association events 4-5 days a week, so good luck with your tee time being on time or playing in a timely manner.

Well designed challenging course

The fairways are very short for most of the spring due to nateral watering and bermuda being the prominent grass but the greens are well taken care of. Fun but challenging course that rewards well placed fairway shots from the tee.

Goid for the mobey

Course is a bit sparse this time of yr. Looks like they need rain. All tee boxes were combined I assume to work on boxes… fairways were 90 degree due also to maintenance. Greens were decent and rolled well except for #3 that looked like to has some disease issues.

Their prices have increased since last yr and without a golf now discount and applying points probly would not feel justified paying the $53 advertised price given course conditions right now.

Cart path only?

The course was in decent shape. Pace was very slow due to cart path only. Could not see a reason for cart path only. Course was not wet, and did not look to be having any work done. Restaurant did not appear to be open. Pro shop staff was very nice and helpful.

Quaint Mountain Course

While visiting the area we chose to play this course based on availability and the pictures online. Pulling into the parking lot we felt like we had made a mistake.While the staff was friendly, they informed us that they no longer have a driving range. (???). It was unseasonably warm in the upper 80s and we were also informed that none of the golf carts had coolers on them. It’s early spring and the grass on the fairways has not fully come in, but the greens were in good shape. We had a competitive enjoyable round but I would recommend tocall ahead next time and definitely bring your own coolers and drinks
