Staff

Turned in a cart losing power after 9,.When in new cart . Older Staff member assumed we were trying to Golf for free, After showing receit expected some sort of explaination of just doing his job and better customer relations. Did not get and got “barked” at when dropping off cart when finished. He did not like we wanted to cart to farther parking lot to drop of clubs. Poor customer relations. Younger staff member offered to bring back cart at lot.

just golf

greens were better than in the past. a lot of blind shots, not unusual to be hit into. at a good price, play it. if you have company from out of town, try another course. mission trails has always been a locals course. the staff is friendlier than they use to be.. the course gets a lot of play due to the price. it was just golf.

Great rounds here.

Course is slowly becoming one of my favorites. The course conditions aren’t 5 star but the greens make up for it. Some fairways are being worked on right now which is exciting to see. Played early AM to avoid the common overbooking here. Let’s just say it was the first time in a long time this place has been true to my tee time. Some rough/ dry spots on fairways but nothing major. Fun/challenging course. Every hole is different.

Good Value

The pace of play was slow due to the management letting two fivesomes play in front of our group. The greens are in really good shape, however the fairways have many barren spots and overall need attention.

The staff is very friendly and overall was an Ok golf day.

Always a Good Time

I have been frequenting Mission Trains since I started playing back in 2014. This was the first time I had been back in over a year however. It was nice to see an upgraded food truck for lunch and the driving range stalls were in great shape. This course can be very challenging on the back 9 with elevation changes and some blind tee shots. This course did not live up to the "Mission Snails" name on this day and the course played very well despite it being windy and rainy for a majority of the round. Cant blame my 87 on anything other then my miss hits and failed pitch shots. Greens rolled very well all be it a little sticky probably due to it being over cast.

As always the staff was great, the two-some I was paired with made the round even more enjoyable. I always recommend this course to friends if they have around 5hrs to dedicate to a round as it can get backed up a little bit on the weekends, but hey, that's a result of it being a great and challenging course.

Great for young and oldl

The course was a little dry in spots, but the ball rolled a lot farther. Greens were in great shape. It was a fun time. I shot a 96 for 18 from the white tees and that is pretty good for an 87 year old guy.

Trashy golf course

Fairways are 60% dirt. Greens are like hitting a ball into a slow mushy mess. Pace of play is the worst in the county and always is. If you have a spare 5 1/2 to 6 hours and want to hit off dirt lies into horribly maintained greens this is your place!
