I drove 2 and a half hours and wasn't able to warm up on the driving range. The course needs work. Lots of bald spots on the course. The bunkers were awful! Not enough sand and very hard. Course has potential! Needs work!

The greens were in bad shape and the bunkers were all very wet. They need to reduce their prices accordingly.

Disappointing

Tee time and check-in was easy. Decent selection of supplies and swag in the proshop. Drink cart person only seen twice in 4 hours with light play on the course. Bunkers are beyond bad. Hard pan and grass throught most. Greens obviously are fighting through fungus issue. Course flooded in many areas due to overwatering. I used to love this course but obviously there is a reason the parking lot was half empty on Saturday, with ideal weather.

Difficult course

Course was in excellent condition but some unrepaired ball masks on the greens. It was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit when we played. There should have been more drinkable water on the course. It is a wonderful setting and I enjoyed playing.

Good course

This is a course I always try to play when I’m in the area. Probably 4-5 holes you need to play a few times to know how to play them. Traps need work Overall a good value.

Nice to be back home.

Only negative would be players not repairing their ball marks. Playing by myself and nobody behind me, I was able to fix several on each hole.

Great midweek round

The course was in great condition considering the back to back heat waves. The greens have some ball mark damage but there are signs for others to fix their marks, guess many just haven’t done so. The fairways and tee boxes are in great shape. The bunkers could use some new sand, they were hard to get out of considering the density of the sand. Great round.

Slow play

I've played this course many times. Yesterday I happened to get behind two foursomes that were taking nearly 30 minutes a hole. Several players ahead just gave up, warned me on their way off the course about the slow play ahead and wished me good luck. Some people are totally oblivious to their surroundings. They will walk out to check a ball, yep my ball, walk back to the cart, select a club, walk back out to the ball, then hit. I'll be standing on the tee box while they are in the bathroom, come out, go to the ladies tees s l o w l y tee off...that was it for me, i will never play again with slow rude players ahead of me. They need marshals like they used to have.

3 day golf outing

A group of 12 of us drove only 3 hours through beautiful forest country ,from Reno to Angels Camp . Great accommodations at the Vrbo's and the Caddyshack we stayed in. Nice dinner at the restaurant on course as well. We have been doing annual trips there for a while now and had more fun than a barrel of monkeys .

Solid course

Exceeded my expectations for an angels camp course. Good mix of trees and open fairways so I didn’t lose my ball on every hole. Well kept course, carts weren’t run down. Will be back

Great course

Even better that I got a near ace on hole 3 and an eagle on 9! Definite fun layout with some challenging holes where you really have to think about strategy. Highly recommend.

Great course wish there were a few more amenities

Overall great experience. Course was in beautiful shape and staff was friendly. Only cons was pace of play, although it was a Friday so not uncommon. I just wish there was water in the cart ball washers and some more working water fountains along the course.

Great Wet Day

We played this course and it was wide open

Although it was cartpath, only because of the rain, the conditions were still good. The staff was still friendly, and I would definitely recommend playing this anytime.
