Goonie golf

Mountain course that has plenty of blind shots, not much fun for first time. Some greens need some major tlc.

Great value!

This course is getting better by the week. The greens were nice and the fairways were too. The tee boxes need some work, but other than that, it's really coming around. I'd recommend the course to anyone.

Needs alot of work

Many greens in bad shape but puttable, no rough , alot of dirt , rocks , bare spots , fairways are shaved down to nothing tee boxes hunt for non dirt spots , can putt from. 20yrds out no real grass on the course , extremely hard to get a pure shot under the ball. Carts should be converted to 4 wheelers due to bad cart paths...definitely not worth the money , this is more like a 15.00 course....great layout but poorly maintained . Needs at least a million dollars worth or work

Mountain Fun

First time playing on this course and after reading some of the reviews I was worried about the greens. But overall I would say they were in good shape and a lot of work was being done on the course to make it better. Would definitely play here again in season to see how the green fairways treat shots!!!

Typical hilly course

Fairways and roughs in winter condition. Greens held the approach shot, rolled true, were medium speed. Sand traps were a mix of hard pack and some loose sand and had not been raked by players. Not many level lies.
