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.

Best course in the area

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.

Wonderful, Straight Forward Course

Course in great condition, staff very friendly, rangers keep things moving. Organic type course which follows natural contours, not in the least tricked up. Looking forward to playing here again. A treasure. Fast, fast greens

It's a challenge!!!

The course is in wonderful condition. After the the first seven holes I thought I was on a roll. The rest of the way is narrow and lined with huge pines. Helps to be a shot maker. The greens are perfect. Shot my handicap.

Layout is a bit strange. 9 don't end at 10 don't begin at clubhouse.

Great Course, they should put layout on scorecard, hard to figure out your strategic shot on most holes.

Green, Tree's and Exciting

This course will provide a great round of golf. The different tee locations will satisfy any golfer. There are many challenging holes, long par 5 (600+yds) with twist through trees, and ravines. The greens are way above average. It's a must! However, be aware, Thunderstorms may develop around 11:00 am.

Worth it

Some holes were very difficult to navigate, especially the 600 yard 5 that didn't seem to have a clear shot from any (each) lie. Need to have course knowledge to navigate. Staff was very, very friendly and accommodating. They seemed genuinely glad to have your business.

Don't let the slope fool you

This is a combination of easy and tough holes. It played a lot tougher than a116 slope. Good condition overall. Cart paths are pretty rustic.

The range, which is .8 miles from the shop, is primitive.

very nice set up and friendly staff

Have played course several times and for price it is not bad do sometimes run into slow play. Your specials make it a good deal to play pricy if you just walk on. Greens need some work some are still recovering from winter.
