Nice course in fair condition

Really enjoyed the course. Played two early morning rounds while visiting the resort with my family. Not long and fairly generous off the tee but smaller greens with run offs and bunkering will test you, not to mention the classic Pete Dye railroad ties that come into play with water on a number of holes. The greens were in good shape but very slow (however I will give them a break given the temperatures at this time of year). I paid under $60 through GolfNow vs $90 rack rate and $49 for rentals which were a decent set of Srixon woods and irons with Cleveland 56 degree and putter. Overall I would recommend as an enjoyable resort course.

Great time

I happened to get a super cheap rate and went off by myself didn't catch anyone til the 5th hole and it was a twosome . But I just felt like hanging back and taking my time. Also the drink cart found me twice in the first 6 holes so that's always a good thing on a hot day. Thanks

Sommer fun

Because it was summer the course was very uncrowded. It felt like our own private golf course. Layout is forgiving but challenging. The only reason I didn’t give this course 5 stars is becaus these are the slowest greens i think i have ever played. I will definitely return but will allow more time on the practice green to get used to the slower speed. Fun round at our own pace.

Rude staff. Greens are like fairways

After 10 years of using Golf Now this is my first and only review. I played the Mission Hills Pete Dye course today. Here is my review … first, let’s start with pro shop staff. Young lady who assisted us was as cold as ice. Saturday morning at 6:25am so maybe she was out late last night but attitude was as rude as can be. Huge turn off. Second: the course. The fairways were in rough shape and understandable given the heat (106 degrees today) but the greens were AS SLOW AS FAIRWAYS. I cannot emphasize this enough that the greens were in both very rough shape and about a 4 on the stimp. We decided it was appropriate to do automatic 2-putts because it was a joke. Literally a total joke and mess. I would be embarrassed if I represented this golf course. Pace of play was excellent. No cart or snack carts. Bunkers were unraked, this is the true definition of a “resort course”. I give 0.75 stars out of 5.

I wouldn’t bother

The course was in okay condition, very tired tee boxes and poor conditions of the greens; which were overwatered in places. Having finished the round I was unable to get a drink and had to sit in the corridor as the club house was closed, as was the pro shop due to the time of year. I was not informed of this when I payed for my round, also had to wait for my buggy, no one there on my return. I played the Gary player course before this and my experience was great, shame as I wanted to play the course due to it being a Pete dye design, I won’t be returning.
