Winter golf in the burbs

The course offers plenty of challenges to the beginner golfer. There are plenty of hills, water and traps to demand attention. Trees line most holes so keep your drive straight. Some distances are not accurate because of the elevated greens. Back nine was nicer. Traps need repairs better to stay away. Nice brewery at the 19th hole with outside sitting.

Overall not good

The greens need work especially the ridiculous Par 5 11th or 12th hole that is the worst green I have ever seen in all my years of playing this game. They should tear it up and make a new green. That was a darn nightmare.

Do you mean #14, big dog-leg left? That green is basically on the side of a hill, absolute nightmare like you said

Pace of play

My god explain to golfers before the round about staying up with group in front of them. Get a marshal that can actually marshal. Could be a great course if they would work with the golfers on how speed up play. Course can be tough enough without buys playing from the blues that can’t hit it 150 yards

You'd Better Be Sharp

This course definitely values accuracy over distance. I feel like the course rating should be higher because it's so narrow in some spots. Trees are everywhere and you're bound to be hitting a shot underneath or through one. Greens are slick, yet bumpy, so I'm not a fan of them. It's just not very rewarding to your handicap if you play well here. I love the layout at least, but I wish it was in a bit better shape. I once had a 14 on #14 so try topping that

Canyon lakes is coming back!

It rained for three holes then it was pretty nice out.The course is coming back slowly,alot of bunkers are under construction and need some help,but fairways are slowly coming back .Greens are a bit bumpy and slow could use a roller on them to flatten them out and speed them up.All in all it was fun but this course has serious potential if they could drop some money in it to fix a few things then it might be competition for The Bridges next door.Problem is to much rain and you will have a hard time getting your cart back on the cart path,it doesn't drain well and the kind of dirt that turns into mud is the kind that will get carts stuck quite easily.But certainly has some great holes when they are in pristine condition.

Just keeps getting better!

This course has improved 10 fold since new ownership. The new brewery on site is a added plus at the end of round. Great value all around.

Not bad, but pricey unless you get a deal

we got an ok rate at $30, but honestly I wouldn't pay more for this course unless it was for some occasion.

fairways were in mediocre condition, most of the bunkers were hardened, but some had good soft sand, hope that you mishit into the soft sand bunkers...

tee boxes were fine, lack of a real driving range is certainly something to consider, although for me that isn't always something I need, so it depends on the day. The course only has 2 sets of tees, so if you're a long hitter you will likely be hitting a lot of irons from the tee box.

In-house IPA was good, service excellent, sandwich was good.

Great layout. About 6300 yds from the blue tees, little shorter than average.

We come here to play at least once a week. Price is reasonable and the pace is 4.5 hr or less. I like that!

One thing I always wish the course can be improved on is to fill bunkers with sand. There’s hardly any sand in most of bunkers :( The staffs in the pro shop including Dana is five star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️!

SMOKIN' !!!!!

Played in the heavy smoke (was only super bad the last few holes.......wore our NIOSH N95 masks the last couple holes.....funny, sorta.).

Greens in good shape, fairways just OK. We like the layout. Pace a little slow first few holes, cuz NCGA group (4 guys) out there taking course info. for the annual rating (difficulty: stroke/slope). But, after got thru them, we flew. Had one of the brewery craft beers afterwards in the new bar/restaurant. Their doing alot of work/improvements to the facility which should start to pay off soon.

Don’t go out of your to golf here

This course could be amazing, but the Sandtrap’s and fairways are not in great condition. You will run across some great calls and some great layouts. If the owner puts in enough time and money this will be a great course and I would definitely go out of my way to golf there when that happens.

Needs some tlc

Discourse need some tender loving care. Sandtrap's are in terrible shape. Some are totally unplayable in about 30% have ground under repair markers in them. The fairways are in decent shape however overwatered in many places. Golf carts are rolling over the overwatered areas creating tracks that are unplayable. Also there are no course and Bassett or's out on the course taking care of pace of play therefore is very slow. With some management invested good place to play but I would hold off for now

Good Value, challenging

My first time on this course. The course is challenging but definitely playable for a mid-cap player. There are some easy holes that are reachable in regulation but there is a par 5 that is not reachable to me. I like the course. It' has similar characteristics as some that I like playing... elevations, good greens, etc. There are some areas that are brown but for the most part the course is good. Worth what we paid.

there is no sand in most of the bunkers, fairway is in very poor condition. The putting green are in fine condition.
