Sloppy and Slow

American Golf always tries to fit more tee times into an hour than is realistically possible. Pace alternated between ok and poor. Course affected by much rain so fairways are lnot cut short and there is no run out for the ball After landing. Greens were also a little long so difficult to read.

Birthday round

The back 9 is way better than the front. I know with the rains we had , they have done a good job keeping the course playable. Biggest draw back was the pace of play and waiting to hit. Other than that I had a great time and met so e very nice people for my first time playing this course. I will definitely play again

Long day at Mission Trails

Front nine should NOT have been open today! Course SOGGY… cart paths only, but the fairways were so wet they shouldn’t even have been walked on in many places. Lots of plugged balls, several lost in the rough due to wet conditions.

Even accounting for cart paths only, pace of play was abysmal! Four hours and fifty minutes. Two rangers on duty, but neither was doing anything to move slow groups along.

Course has potential, but even accounting for soggy conditions, it’s a little rough around the edges and could use some TLC.

Don't Be Fooled

The short yardage is counter-balanced by fast, tricky greens and several forced carries and hazards. Pace of play can be slow at times, which was a little disappointing. Course requires some local knowledge, so definitely worth playing more than once to see how you'd fare a second time around.

Concrete Swales Galore

15 of 18 holes have concrete swales, and, there is no relief !

Several greens with not a flat spot to be found.

Great Greens everything else Crab Grass

In the nicest way, this course is in the best shape I have ever seen it. Greens are pure and awesome. Everything else is crabgrass. I’m not a huge fan of playing on crabgrass. I have played here quite a few times over the years and was surprised by the great pace. Although I think it just depends on the day. I don’t see them reseeding the course to add better grass so you get what you pay for now. Not a very challenging course that you can take advantage of with good greens.

Quick round but……

Need better people skills in the pro shop. Been like this for a while since it’s the same old guys that have been there for years. Other than that it was a great day and the course was fine.

A lot of Character

Great value. A lot of Character. Not boring, from the Blues. Driving the ball is the key. A few long par 3’s. 👍🏼👍🏼
