A Beautiful Morning!

We always enjoy this course. Beautiful views, wild turkeys, sunlit lakes, good greens, well maintained fairways (except for some bare patches near the cart paths), and decent tee boxes. Played a 7 am Tuesday, a good value at $54 and even less for age 55+. With the recent rains, all the hills were green. Pace was excellent. The course is just right for us intermediate players, but challenging enough for experts. Gary, the course Ambassador, is a kick with his golf stories, and we enjoyed his humor and friendliness. Afterwards, the brewery was open, and we enjoyed beer, burgers and the view on the patio. One complaint: you can’t drive your cart to your car (like they used to allow). They said it was a Covid rule, but many other courses allow it. Regardless, looking forward to playing here again!

Canyon Lake did not honor Golf now price

I went to play canyon lake today and the course was a great condition. However, upon arrival, they did not honor the price I booked on Golf now. They said that was an error on their part and continued to charge me to full rate. The staff member there said they will leave a message for the manager to call me if I should be reimbursed for the difference for the price I had booked on Golfnow. I don’t believe that is a correct way to conduct business as I showed the receipt I booked online. I have yet to hear back from the manager.

Sparse Tee Areas/Good Greens

Course is in pretty decent shape. One major issue was the tee boxes for the blue tees. Wasn’t much grass and hard to maintain footing, Greens held and rolled well. Been years since I’ve played here, but all in all wasn’t a bad experience. The on the course staff was friendly and help keep things moving.

Generally a good course in a pinch

Good course to get on at the last minute. I understand there is no driving range...but come on...some new mats after 20 years or so and more than 10 balls into a net would be a welcome upgrade.

Everyone there is friendly while also Covid compliant as much as possible.

They could do some easy maintenance to upgrade...like punching the ground and seeding right before some rain comes in.

paid for 18 played 14. Fix the pace of play problem and get Marshalls who Marshall

Started at 10:30 am and left 4 holes early because the round was going to be 5.5 hours long for no reason other than a 4some who didn't care about backing up the whole course. Marshall saw said slow group watched them take forever and did nothing except smile and wave as we waited 20 minutes in-between our shots.. Course was in whatever shape and had some burn marks on the greens and bad sand traps. Also the walks between most holes are so far apart people who chose to walk just destroy the pace of play. Why have a Marshall if they do nothing to speed up pace, Will never be returning to this sub standard course.

Conditions not so good!

I have played this course many times and appreciate the efforts of ownership to improve the quality of the course.

I have to say this time around was not good as far as course conditions, lots of bald areas on fairways. Very little grass anywhere on the course. Tee boxes were very bad and the greens were pretty beat up. It felt like they are getting so much play they can't keep up the course.

The staff as usual was friendly and helpful. I felt very welcome.

I probably won't go back until spring when I expect the course will be back to a more playable condition.

Fun in the sand

It's been a long time coming but they finally fixed the traps. Greens were good. Fairways watered where they need to be. Was a little weird that you aren't allowed to check in until 5 minutes before tee time. Otherwise smooth round and always a good challenge.
