About
The 797 Elks Golf Club, formerly known as Quail Lakes Golf Course, has changed more than its name since first opening in 1961. When the course was up for sale in the 1980s, the trustees of the adjacent Elks 797 Lodge purchased the property in order to keep a public golf course for the community. The front nine was created well before the back nine was completed. Although the two nines provide a vastly different look and feel, they provide plenty of variety that manages to meld seamlessly into a great round. The ever-changing landscape adds to the course's diversity. Mature trees and tall grasses line the fairways, making accuracy essential, and you'll also find strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. There are definitely some challenges in store but with careful course management, you'll be rewarded with some birdie opportunities.

Not great
Worst rain check policy I have ever seen, unable to get a rain check due the ridiculous policy, and it was raining cats and dogs toward the middle of my round. You will have to see it to believe it. The pro shop worker who was in there when I arrived is a nice fellow. The guy who works the afternoon & evening shift is at least slightly rude, not going back any time soon.
Great course for the money
We usually play several courses and alternate by week. This week it was time for Elks 797. We actually were able to play 18 holes this week so got to do both 9's this week. Course was in pretty good shape. Staff are very nice and friendly. Price was absolutely fantastic thru GolfNow.
Very Good for March Golf
Greens a little rough but for March weather, very tolerable. Course in great shape for all the rain and snow lately.
Great Round
Elks 797 is a great course to play to work on various aspects of your game. Holes are challenging but not overly difficult, if you can keep your ball in play. Depending on the wind conditions, some holes play longer than the yardage while others can play short. Overall, presents great value for the price.
Bang For the Buck
The value can't beat it! Played for 11 bucks plus convenient fee which if you ask me golfnow needs to lower those but besides that the course is a great scoring course. This course is great for beginners, but has putting greens true for any golfer. The only thing I disliked about course was how you shoot back and fourth along the previous fairways, also the fairways are a little rough but honestly grass was cut so very challenging to lose a ball hahaha. But, overall you can't bear the price and overall value!
Fun Course
The greens here are surprisingly good... it is too bad they can't mow more often. Even the fairways were shaggy. That being said, it is a fun course with tough holes balanced out by real birdie opportunities.
This course is usually in good shape but not this time i might be looking for a new course
the courses has good features
played in less than 4 hrs. on a Sunday with a lot of golfers. good conditions considering the amount of rain in the last week. friendly staff.
