I have a great time. Was parried with a very nice gentleman by the name of Robert, from Florida. He was s good Golfer who made the round smooth. The course was in great condition. It was a day experience. It’s not a very long course but the greens will challenge anyone game.

Great deal Great day

Had a chance to play this course at a hot deals price. Course is in great condition. Because of weather conditions, the greans were much more friendlier to putt. Nice time of year to play this course

The fairways were being aerated, but it didn't effect much.

We started at 10am, but play seemed to really pick up around noon.

Ross classic

Well kept course. Punched greens when I played unfortunately, but I’m sure they can be brutal fast when healed. Not easy despite being relatively short yardage on the scorecard. 5 par 3s and 3 par 5’s. Challenging. Not for beginners. Cart a must.

Beautiful views

This course is a pleasure to play. We play all of the time but it's quite pricey. We only play if we get a deal on GolfNow. The greens have been aerated a couple of weeks ago. They're still very bumpy, not really ready to play right now. That's the only con...

Staff is very professional and personable

Great course in a good location. If I lived here full time(now a part time resident) I would join the club.

I play about 3 times a week at various clubs and fluctuate from 16 to 18 index.

Beautiful place to play golf

The course was wet, so it played much longer than the card. Greens were very fast and difficult for me to read. Typical course for the time it was built, being many tight holes and close together. I played the black tees, but it would be a very challenging course from any set of tees.

I would recommend this course if you are in the area. I used Golf Now and saved at least $50 off my round.

Beautiful Ross layout below the grand Grove Park Inn

Great layout in beautiful surroundings. Not long at all but the challenge starts on and around the greens. They are very fast and challenging. Typical Ross with lots of false fronts, etc. The fairways were kind of wet to the point that several tee shots plugged. Mostly excellent conditioning with the exception of the back tee at the 17th hole, which had very little turf on it at all . Longer hitters will want to play the "tips" for the maximum enjoyment. Great spot with very friendly staff. Go up to the hotel for a post round beer on the Sunset Terrace!

One of the Best

This round was my first experience with a Donald Ross design, and I was delighted. Course layout is outstanding, but not overly challenging for an experienced golfer. The greens are evil! Hardly a straight putt on any of them. They are the strength of the course.

The course is beautiful with wonderful vistas of the mountains on many holes. It is in prime condition. This was the only area course I've played this week with bunkers dry enough to play from. Great sand.

On course amenities are outstanding.

Grove park golf not same as hotel service.

This is a beautiful and challenging course in classic Ross design. However it lacks a practice range. The bag staff is not particularly helpful based on recent experience. They seem like we are privileged to be there rather than they are delighted to have us. And there is no nearby lunch spot for after round drinks or tv or whatever. Still a great layout with awesome mountain setting.

Great old layout

This was a real pleasure.. Course feels nicely aged. The layout is nice, pure Ross.. shorter, with the real challenge on the greens.. There's not a flat green on the course and they roll true and fast. Several false fronts on some of them will spit wedge shots back to you!

Staff was great, including the Marshall. And the course was in excellent shape..
