Springdale Resort

First nine fairways were wet and hadn’t been mowed due to a lot of rain. Beautiful scenery. Challenging course for distance and topography. Great day of golf!

Played for the first time, was a nice course. Greens were in good shape, staff was very friendly, and good pace of play. Only criticism is that some of the fairways and fringes were a little thin in places. But we will definitely go back.

Lots of rain the day before so cart path only. Very nice people to greet you. As a 25 handicap this was a great course. The front nine were very forgiving and the back are challenging. I think the course is good for all levels of golf. I definitely recommend playing here. Scenery is wonderful.

It was cart path only and unfortunately, the course plays to the left yet all the paths are on the right side of the fairways. Lots of walking back and forth.

Overall, fantastic mountain course. The views are epic and the elevation makes cooking the ball fairly easy. Not a whole lot of shaping shots. Pretty straight throughout.

Greens are faster than they seem!!

It was chilly when we tee'd off, but the sun quickly broke through the clouds leaving us with an absolutely beautiful day. The course was in great shape, they were doing some proactive fall-maintenance, which is expected this time of year - but all in all, a great course.

Layout was gorgeous. Staff was friendly they were repairing the back 9. So had to play the front 9 twice. Greens where good. But slow. Nice tee boxes. Most the fairways where good sides some here and there bad patches. Only think I hated was the pace I’d play was so slow. And wasn’t even that busy. Overall enjoyed it. Beautiful would like to play the back 9 next time

Despite the rough edges, Springdale is an out-of-the-way treat. Here are the pros/cons:

Pros:

Interesting layout - bring lots of different shots for your tee game

Beautiful surroundings - a mix of flat valley holes and twisting, changing elevated holes

Friendliest staff you will ever meet

Bunkers were pretty nice - a rarity this year

There were signs of maintenance everywhere (verticut fairways, plugged greens). They will fix it up.

Cons:

Pace of play was terrible - over 5 hours (but it was Labor Day)

Fairways were thin due to exorbitant rains this summer

Some greens showed significant bare spots

All in, we will return later this fall after the course has a chance to continue healing from a long, wet summer. But we will book an early tee time to try and avoid the slow pace of play.

This is a gorgeous course with exceptional views. The course is in fine shape. One is well tested here and one must make good shot selections. I really like this “gem” in the hills.

Overall a great layout the tees and greens are in great shape the fairways and rough are reseeding so very wet.

Played here pre-covid, the overall conditions were better. Probably because of all the rain we've had. The rough was deep and very wet, played in the morning. Was able to get a great discounted rate with cut-off app. Started st 9:15am, played through 2 2-somes and the course was wide open.

How about leveling #15 tee box. It has a significant slope and makes the tee shot a challenge.

Course is celebrating 50 years, perhaps under new management as they are building a new club house. It seems many years of neglect are being overcome as well. There are still drainage and weed problems in the fairways, but the greens are in good shape, large and pretty flat. Old gas carts are not suitable for this terrain, but Look to be due for a rotation. The driving range is great, if not a little remote. Cart staff are friendly and helpful.

Always an enjoyable course.

The lady starter is the best.
