Bison Golf - An Excellent Day on the course!

My wife and I played Bison Golf and Country Club on our anniversary. It was our first time at this particular course, so every hole was an adventure for us.
The staff were especially courteous and helpful which made our special day even more so!
Overall, the course played true, each hole had its own challenges, and the condition of the course was amazing! As we are really amateur golfers with high handicaps, playing Bison Golf was a ton of fun! The greens played true and the holes gave us quite a lot of fits and laughs. I would highly recommend this course to any golfers, even the low handicappers, as there are challenge holes all along the way.

Narrow and challenging but lots of fun

We played this course for the first time and found it to be in wonderful condition. Because of some early morning showers, we were alone on the course so were able to play very quickly! LOVED the course but hole #14 is a real challenge!!

Bison

It will be worth your while to take a little extra time reading your putts. I also recommend being somewhat conservative tee to green or you may find your self OB more often than you'd like. Overall Bison is fun and challenging.

Good course.

This is a good course in good condition but it had some quiky holes and I would have appreciated a few more yardage markers and some info, maybe a picture of the hole on the tee, to help play a blind hole. Nice folks. Nice place.

Great overall

Very nice fairways and greens. Tees a little rough and cart paths are very bumpy and hard on your back. Pretty course with friendly staff and great food.

Mid-Westerner 1st time player at course

A very enjoyable course with 3 par 3's on front and 3 par 5's on the back. The front nine takes course management and tee ball placement to score well. The back nine was much more enjoyable to me. Loved the bentgrass greens rather then the bermuda found in the extreme heat. When I return to the area i would play this course everytime.

two stars at best

Front 9 layout pretty boring, back 9 better. Homes right on the fairway. Several blind shots. If you enjoy listening to home owners visit with each other then you might enjoy this course. Course does have potential.

Greens and fairways very spotty

Nice setting but the greens and fairways need a lot of work. Some greens were like putting on a plinko board.

I enjoy this course because you need to pay attention to your game. It is challenging on some holes and relatively easy on others- an all around enjoyable outing.

Excellent value, good conditions, wonderful weather and scenery

Challenging course in the beautiful White Mountains. Course knowledge required on some holes so plan on playing a few rounds and it just gets better every time. Friendly staff and a bargain for the area.

great course

This is a great time to golf this course because the crowds have gone back to the valley and they do not punch the greens in the fall. Weather is wonderful now and fairways and greens are good.
You can't beat the price now.

Mountain Golf Great Value

I played Bison Ranch in Show Low yesterday with a friend and we had a great golf experience. The course is in very good condition and the greens were rolling at about a 10-11. This is mountain golf at its best for a public course. It's a 2.5 hour drive from the valley to enjoy cool mountain breezes in the shade of towering ponderosa pines. The course is challenging with some tight fairways lined with pine trees, elevation changes and tricky fast greens with a number of slope changes. If you are looking for a day of enjoyable golf in a mountain setting, Bison Ridge is the place.
