Tee boxes were a disaster!

Everything moved up to the ladies tees

No grass to hit from..should be a note when you book a t time that they are working on the course

This course has definitely improved a lot in the last year. Not very expensive and a decently challenging course for not being very long. Lots of hazards that make you think of your next shot placement. I haven’t experienced a bad pace of play here in almost a year. I play here at least 2 times a month. Definitely recommend.

Staff are easy going and well organized.

First Time Playing

First time at Mission Trails

First time encountering inability to purchase/rent use of pull cart to walk a course. Had to play with a motorized cart. Walking is allowed but I’m from out of town (ie., tourist) and didn’t pack one(!).

Played with 2 very friendly locals.

Holes # 10, 17, 18, are “tough” and create bottlenecks.

First Time Playing

Pleasantly surprised

My first time playing there and it’s now one of favorites in SD. Although the yardage doesn’t seem too far, there’s some holes that almost force you to lay up and a couple that you can go for. Pace was a little slow but there was a Marshal staying on top of it and pushing slower groups to play ready golf. I forget the hole but we were on a green and had a range ball land by us. It was a little sketchy. Keep your head on a swivel. Tons of fores called out. Definitely a great value for the price. I will absolutely play this course again.

Currently Undergoing Maintenance

Sand all over greens right now, unaware of the situation until we showed up to the pro shop. Also had a sign on the door saying everyone is playing the back 9 twice so it just ended up being a S-show. I love MT. Been a soft spot for me since I started playing the sport, but this day was very frustrating. I’d call and ask about conditions before booking. I learned my lesson. Wont be back until everything’s recovered.
