Nice track

Fun course to play. Placement course for sure, and a lot of holes have hidden flags and or dog legs. Overall I had a great time. Lots of pretty views and wildlife. 30 foot birdy was great also!

Course is great as always. A few rough patches on some of the greens but its to be expected coming out of winter. Hole 17 and 18 had great views.

Decent value for the money

Golf course is getting better but still has a long way to go.

Sandwiches in the new grill are outstanding.

This course is steadily getting better

I was happy to see most bunkers are in great shape,greens very nice and fairways getting alot better.Its obvious they are paying attention to what the players want and trying there best to comply and get this course back to a great course again.I can't wait till this whole pandemic is over and we can just relax after the game and have beers out on the terrace and order some great food,its a wonderful place and I miss it.Course has always had lots of challenge and is a excellent layout for people who are bored with flat muni courses like myself.

Driving range was some mats and you hit into a net so come ready

I got to the course early to warm up but that was fairly difficult because the only option was some mats that you hit into nets about 10 feet in front of you. That makes it difficult to know whether or not you are hitting the ball straight or not. The course was well kept up but it would have been nice to have a traditional driving range to get ready to start.

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.
