Never dissapointed

Never be disappointed when you play Pinon Hills. Rolling fairways and beautiful vistas. Condition are always good keeping in mind it is a municipal course not a fancy Country Club. Don’t drive past without stopping to play.

Remarkable!

A beautiful course with acceptable challenges even for a high handicapper. Playing uphill on some holes a bit of a an ordeal but downhill very rewarding. Greens are immaculate as are the fairways. The staff was the friendliest I have ever met! Don't forget to eat at the grill. The cook is awesome! A++++

Awesome desert gem

This course is in great shape for summer time in a high desert region. Greens rolled great. Fairways are narrow on some holes but the turf is in great shape for your iron shots. We played Blue tees and loved it. The tips would allow for driver from the box, anything less than blue and you don't want to use the big stick on most holes. Very fun course and and views are awesome. I would r comm me to anyone in the 4 corners regions to give it a try.

Rained Out

First off - what else can be said about this course? It truly is a fantastic layout. I'm out of state but played on a crazy hot deal. Although I love the course I wouldn't play it for $60.

Review of course...

1) not a fan that the bunkers are hardened sand. Not sure the sand is wet when raked and dries up and gets crunchy. Not use to playing out of that so thought processes are racing trying to figure the bounce, trajectory, etc out of it.

2) what makes this course awesome is not just the layout but the opportunities to make it more challenging. Many courses lengthen it with tee boxes lined up straight back. PH tee grounds are off set in different locations on most holes so you get a different look and approach to your tee shot. So play a round from the whites then the next from the blues and you'll see. Also at elevation you are getting 10% or so added distance on clubs so even the tips make this 6500-6700 yd sea level yardage so play a round from the back as well.

3) where the true challenge comes on PH are the greens. When you find a straight/flat 10 footer...post the picture.

4) Light drizzle started on 10, picking up by 11th tee left tee shots in fwy and headed to clubhouse...and waited a LONG time. This wasn't typical summer t-storm that came through. It was spotty after a good 45m dumping, so finished 11...dumped, sat in cart on 12 for 20 minutes....lightened up, tee off 12...dumping by time I got to the green...stick a fork in me I'm done. Was last one out of the parking lot so my Washington state golf in rain attitude kept me there longer than the locals. They are better meteorologists than I am I guess.

Zack in clubhouse is good to talk to. He will help you out around the course getting where you need to be and commiserate about the stupid GHIN system if you engage him.

Already made another tee time for this week...hoping to finish a round this time.

Worth the Drive

I first heard about this course 25 years ago.So on my way back from a recent trip I made a detour and it was worth it...

P.S. Only my opinion but if I go again, I'll leave the Driver in the car
