Course Pace
I loved this course until we got backed up on the 11th hole with everyone waiting for a group of 4 who were walking the course. We decided to call it a day.
4/1/2021 Golf Outing
The course - tee boxes, fairways and greens were in great shape for April1. Our foursome played the round in 4 hours. It was breezy, but the temps were great!
Good course.
Pace of play was slowing up because some inexperienced golfers but the course was amazing and the weather perfect
Good track!!
Great day of golf!! Course is getting into better condition!!
Fantastic Views
First time at this beautiful course tucked into the mountains. Staff was great and efficient. Course was coming out of winter, but greens were good. Would have been nice to have transportation to driving range, Out of carts. Course very playable.
Beautiful Views
It was early and the snow had just melted off. A little rough but will be excellent as the weather warms.
Best in town
By far the best public course experience in town. Scenic views, well groomed, open spaces. Couldn’t ask for a better day of golf
Booking but closed
I booked through golf now got a confirmation. Showed up and we’re closed No one answering the phone. I’d like my 5$ back.
