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.

Worth the drive

Greenhorn Creek is a hidden gem. Great layout, somewhat challenging. The views are amazing. Multiple signature holes. Course conditions almost always excellent. Definitely a worthwhile course to play!

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.

Always a joy to play at greenhorn.

Everything was excellent overall. The greens were very poor, but they just aerated and sanded them so that is to be expected. The staff made sure we were aware of the green conditions at check in. The fairways, and tee boxes were all in very good condition. The bunkers need some attention as the sand conditions were quite hard. But overall, it is a great course and always a joy to play.

Greenhorn is a nice course, however, we did not find out the the greens had been aerated until after making the payment.

I do not believe that we got the 'aerated green fee' which was posted at the pro shop.

GolfNow needs to address any issue's like this.

Sanded greens

Fairways, rough and tee boxes were in good condition.

Greens were sanded.

Bunkers were in bad shape.

Pace of play was held up by a slow group.

I would be nice if there was a warning on Golf Now that the greens were sanded or punched.
