Not worth full price

Cool course great views. No range right now, greens are rock hard and flood damage around course. I figured other reviews were being a bit extreme with the green conditions but they are right. No need for a divot tool and aim for the front of the green. Even with that info good luck holding them

Pretty good

A lot of foursomes but pace of play went pretty well. Greens are still slow from all the rain and will take time to repair, but fairways and roughs are still terrific as always. Driving range won’t be open for two more week due to rain damage.

Pete Dye Mountain Course is a mess

I haven't played the Pete Dye Mountain Course in years. Now I remember why. The hole designs are brutal. The design is to take the ball away from the hole every chance it gets. There arre few misses allowed. You are penalized for good shots. Not fair . . . . It's just stupid. This is a golf RESORT. Getting your braind beat out is no enjoyment. A difficult golf course should not be a stupid.onr. Check out PGA WEST Nicholas, Stadium or Norman. Or Indian Canyon South or Silver Rock all are much fairer. You'll have a better time.

Not worth full price right now

No range, rock hard greens and flood damage. Fun scenic course but conditions are not what would be expected at full price. Get a deal or an afternoon rate. Pace was great until 16 but still played in under 4:30

Got a tee time off the app and so it was a great deal.

I like the course a lot though it is challenging. Only one green that is not uphill. Fun people and a good time.

Was expecting better greens

Challenging course, high handicapper will find it difficult as all greens are elevated, lots of false fronts. Back nine incredible front nine not as picturesque. Greens do not have deep roots, lots of gravel when fixing ball marks. So greens are a little long and fuzzy. No GPS on carts, would expect that for this price point.

Over priced. Too difficult.

This is a very expensive course, yet they don’t have GPS screens in the carts…and as this is a Pete Dye course, there are hidden hazards throughout. Without the GPS, too many misplayed shots.

Driving range was closed due to repairs…that happens but they could have done something to compensate for that (a free sleeve of balls).

There are several beautiful holes on the back, but the front is unexceptionable.

I wouldn't go back this year.

Currently no driving range or chipping area do to flood, so don't show up early as there is nothing to do.

Greens are new and are rock hard, you hit the middle of the grean it will not stay on.

Lots of ground under repair from the flood.

Back nine is in great shape minus the rock hard greens.

No GPS on carts

Mountain course

Interesting course design. Holes 1, 3, 9 have lots of ground under repair. Range is closed. Crazy new greens will improve as they age to get more receptive. Green speeds were good and smooth. Slow play was unfortunate. Some unreasonable hole placements and hole demands for a first play of the coourse.

Terrible new greens. Condition and new design.

Everyone should wait to play here for two to three years and let the new greens settle and soften. They are currently unplayable.

Not overly impressed

This would be a fun course to play, if the greens were ready for use. The starter mentioned to us on the first tee that the greens were brand new and very firm. This information should have been shared with us much sooner than the first tee. The greens are so firm, it made the course borderline unplayable. Hitting short irons/wedges into greens only to watch your ball hit the middle of the green and bounce over the back is not a playable golf course. The worst part is charging full rate to play as well.

I would recommend avoiding this course until the greens are able to soften up.

Great golf day

Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Clubhuse is filled with great clothing selection and reasonable prices.

Golf course view is stunning. Elevated greens are always a challenge since the greens do not hold. 2 putts are a win and 3 putts for sure are easy...lol...hard greens since they are new...

part of the challenge...

Understanding that the greens are new, but leave your hallmark tool home. No need for one here.

Wait until grounds recover from flood damage.

Course is rough from water damage due to hurricane last October. Driving range shut down and several areas under repair. Call before you want to play for updates.

Don’t bother with this course

Pete dye mountain course first nine is boring, flat, nothing special. Back nine gets interesting in the rocks. Dark early against the mountains. Greens have no grip thanks to brown grass. Signature hole 16 backs up. Should have a Marshall there to keep things moving etc. group behind us jumped in front while we’re on elevated tees waiting our turn. Not worth the money.
