Course Needs Mositure

This was the first time that I have golfed this course, overall I enjoyed the course layout, the greens were in excellent shape. It is to bad the rest of the course didn't match the greens. The fairways need moisture and the cart paths are in very rough shape (could be smoothed out and marked a bit better). I would certainly golf the course again as it was reasonably priced compared to some other courses in the area. enjoyed watching the military planes fly overhead, something that I don't get to see where I live. I liked the view from many of the holes, overall had a good time golfing this course. A little bit of water and maintenance would make this course even better.

Nice long holes

The thing about this course is that it has long par 3, 4, & 5's letting you have the option of using your woods or irons. Nice course, not over priced, responsive and pleasant staff and good pace of play. Really like playing here.

Nice Course Layout - Rain Would Help Conditions

An "old-style" course, with tree lined fairways and several doglegs. I liked the layout of this course, which is why it received my 4 star rating. Yes, the fairways and tee boxes could definitely use some water and maintenance, but on the whole, this was a good value for the money. The greens were nice, and most of the sand traps were very playable. A tip for all - stay below the hole to avoid 3-putts. Now that I have played this course once, there are a few holes that I can't wait to play again. Course knowledge is important on at least 3-4 holes. This course really has the potential to be one of the nicest courses in the area. All it needs is some rain, fertilizer, and some strategically placed grass seed...

A revisit.

Had been over a year since I last played this course. Been wanting to return. In past visits the course had looked descently kept up. A fair rate for its past upkeep. This time around was a very different experience. It's obvious that the lack of water has taken its toll. Very dry with thin fairways. Greens were descently kept. Tee boxes not so great looking either. I hope much rain comes for this course that desperately needs it. Hope to see it return to its previous condition.

Overall course condition

The course was in fair shape do to water restriction. The fairways are rolling well and greens allowed you to putt well. Overall fair. I have played this course before when it was in great shape.

Good price for a playable forgiving course

The greens and tee boxes are always in perfect condition. The rest of the course is pretty dried out, especially outside the fairways. But it's a fun course that is very playable. Even in it's condition, I still recommend it.

Poor Pace of Play and even worse Customer Service

I've golfed at Gen Olds course for many years. It seems as if they are becoming more concerned with making money more than they are concern with their patrons enjoying their golfing experience. I made my reservation using GN I was a single and figured I'd get paired up once I arrived (like I have before) Once I was checked in and paid I was told there was a golf tournament going on, but not to worry there would be no effect on my playing. I asked if I was going to be paired and they told me no. It was the worst experience Ive had in quite sometime. The pace was so slow, I gave up after 4 holes and spending about 1 1/2 hours out there. I saw multiple groups of five on the course. I feel as if there should have been some type of warning prior to my purchasing a tee time. Either through GN or the course itself. The guy behind the counter said "too bad, we have tournaments everyday" I asked about the groups of five and he said "we do this often" GN I feel if you added a feature (not sure how to do it) that would let prospective buyers become aware of the playing conditions, such as tournaments etc... I could call the course myself, but them what would I need GN for? Thank you...

Great Course, Great Value

General Olds is a golf course that provides great value. The course is kept in great condition, and the rates are affordable. It has a nice practice area where you can hit the range, or work on your short game. The putting green is also nice and well manicured.

The course plays long. With really tough par 3s that demand a long and accurate shot. Par 5s are challenging that will demand you to shape the ball around doglegs.

All in all a great course, and they offer plenty of deals.

Great fun course

Great course for the water conditions greens are green traps have sand easy hole locations honestly not that challenging. Wide fairways you shouldn't be losing balls here great for beginners or guys just trying to improve their game. I will definitely play this course again. A little entertainment too as the base had some jets in the air all around a great course

A little rough around the edges .....

Plays better than it looks ....... a little untidy around the edges and not so pleasing to the eye but a decent course to play, long (6800 yards +) but relatively forgiving and u wont lose any balls. Excellent condition greens, excellent condition tee boxes and fairways play better than they appear. Paid $33 on a holiday so not bad but much cheaper in the week and i would play again. Not overly challenging but interesting lay out and long par 3's off the back tees are a challenge. Has a nostalgic old school feel about the place ........ worth a golf now outing for sure.

Hot day for golf.

I arrived early and the stater forgot us !!! Really !! We wanted to get out there on time. Instead, I had to go to the club house to find out what the problem was in passing us up ! I believe got a mild case of heat stroke. My buddy threw up on the tenth hole ! The greens were sneaky fast. Rough was tame. Sand traps were consistent. I would go back but not at the top of my list.

Greens are green

Considering the drought and water restrictions riverside county is in , General olds greens are super nice . Fairways are nice n green , and course is over all looking good . Wish some golfers would have a little more respect for the place and take care of it like some of us do, from fixing divots on greens and tee boxes to just plain picking up after yourself . Regardless ... Course is in great shape . Just need to speed up pace of play a bit more .

Nice course would be better with just a few improvements.

I practice at this facility more than I play it. It has a new clubhouse and it seems since then the course conditions seem to have improved as well. Pace of play is pretty quick unless you get stuck behind the HS matches in the afternoon. Def one of the better courses in the riverside/moval area. Driving range is grass, no mats! They could def improve it by simply making 2 or 3 tiers and leveling that area. Needs actual sand in the bunkers! Great for practice rounds.
