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.

Average country course

Not a lot to write here except the pro shop/restaurant looked nice. The course itself was less memorable.

The course is open

This is an ideal golf course for seniors. Fairly open fairways with a few water holes. Great course for all ages. Staff is very friendly.

Not to difficult but still has some challenge holes

Always enjoy playing here. Greens in good shape even after very little rain. Retired recently and finally getting back to playing golf after a couple years off.

No booking record.

I booked a tee time at "12:00" online.

But they didn't have that record.

12:00 o'clock was actually right in the middle of 2 big competitions and they could not let any visitor tee off.

On top of that 12:00 o'clock was not a tee time according to their pitch. 11:54 or 12:02 could be a tee time.

In the end, I could start at 13:30 after the competitions.

Whose mistake??????

I like this course.

The greens were not in very good shape. Too many different types of grass and the putting was not smooth at all. Too many pits and the putting line was never straight.
