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 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.
I like this course.
Greens were not in great shape. The rough was very thick, and the grass was too long.
Mixed emotions
Before I’m a bit harsh to this course I will say this is a very easy course and I would recommend for beginner golfers. It’s very short and flat. Greens are slow. For beginners I would recommend this course to some of the harder courses around this area. If you are advanced golfer and are under a 10 handicap this isn’t for you. My tee time was at 12 and I had to wait for a cart to come in before I could start. Once I waited 10 minutes for someone to finish their round and take their cart there was 3 groups of 4, a solo with kids, and an elderly couple all waiting to tee off of one. I usually finish a round in 2-2 1/2 hours if I’m not waiting on people. It took me nearly 5 hours as a solo to finish. It was pointless to let me play through because of how backed up the course was. Maybe it was a busy day? Who knows. After my round I was hungry and wanted a drink so I went to the bar and sat there for a few minutes and didn’t get acknowledged at all by staff. I just got up and left. Like I said I would recommend for beginners or not advanced golfers but not experienced or fast paced golfers but I will not be returning.
Great value
Very nice layout and very affordable price. Would play again.
