Maji’s review

For this time of year, the course was in really good shape. My only complaint is that the bunkers were hard pan and very little sand.

Fabulous Find

I had an excellent day at this course. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The course was in excellent shape. The fairways are fairly open, but the greens are smooth and fast. The staff and golfers have done an excellent job repairing ball marks.

Fun course

I played early in the morning and there was a 5some in front of me and they had no problem letting me play through. The course was in good condition. It is not a real long course. Perfect course for a beginner. Tee boxes and greens were in really good shape.

Don’t sweat the little stuff

They have a great place to eat but no food. The bathrooms on the course were a mess. Great wide flat tee boxes, forgiving fairways and well maintained greens. If I didn’t live an hour away I would be a member of this course.

Course is in really good shape except the sand traps. However, the course does not have any Covid-19 precautions in place. There is NO EXCUSE for the lack of safeguards.

Lovely Day for Golf

The course is in very good shape. The tees, fairways and greens are in excellent shape. The sand traps are in terrible condition which seems to be the case at a lot of courses. My only complaint is that Dogwood Hills has absolutely no Covid-19 safeguards in place. No masks in the clubhouse. No instructions to. not touch flagsticks. No safeguards in the holes. Rakes are all over the course and so are ball washers. This is the tenth course that I have played since April and it is the only one without any Cocvid-19 safeguards in place. No excuses. The course needs to do a lot better.

Great Day for Golf

This course and the people that run it are super cool. They take care of the facility and course. It's not a pro course, but it is well taken care of. Always a good day when I go there!

Back nine is gorgeous

Deceptively challenging. Many of the greens are above or below your approach in, makes for a good challenge. The back nine is magazine quality.

Slowest round of my life

Overall the course was in decent shape. Greens were incredibly soft with no roll and some still with aeration holes. Fairways were mostly intact. Bunkers awful. Tee boxes overall OK but rarely flat - felt I was hitting with my feet above or below the ball far too often.

Course layout is good. Challenging but fun to play.

BUT - the pace of play was the worst I’ve ever encountered. And that says a lot considering California courses with 6 min tee time spread leads to 5+ hour rounds. People yelling in backswings. Essentially the nightmare for lack of golf etiquette all around.
