Mission Trails Golf Course

My husband I had a 4PM tee time thinking that we might be able to play at least 12-14 holes. However, the 2 guys playing in front of us really slowed down the pace of play. There were 2 groups behind us that we're also waiting on each hole. These 2 guys would tee off 2-3 times on each hole. They would also take multiple shots each time they taking their shots. Also, spent forever to looking for their balls each time their balls would go out of bounds. We love playing this course as it is a good course and has great views and a variety of holes. It took about 3 hours and 15 minutes to play 9 holes. With no course marshals on the course there is no one to talk too.

I am so torn to write this review since I love this course to play, but hate, hate hate (yes that is 3 hates) how they just stuff the course with players. Not only do they stuff the course with players, they allow 5somes on weekend days. they have no marshall speeding up the pace of play, which is really annoying when you complain about it.

The course itself is a pretty easy course to navigate, and gives enough challenges to enjoy golf for the 10-20 handicap. Conditions were a little bare in some spots, but I did not expect more from the SD droughts. No course should be condemned because of the lack of water.

HERE IS THE KICKER AND THE REASON I CAN NEVER PLACE THIS COURSE AGAIN. oUR ROUND LITERALLY TOOK 6HRS AND 45 MIN. YES YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY.

The bad part is that the pro shop does nothing to compensate. Please stay away from this course if you plan to finish in a reasonable time.

Fun course to play, challeges are the concrete creek through several holes, may need to lay up on a few holes. Many blind shots and hills to play, all in all a good day on the course.

Staff was friendly, course was in decent condition, fairways were ok, greens are great, tee boxes were ok and overall it was good to go. Challenging course! Pace of play was good and no real issues. 18th hole is a bit odd with a big ol tree between you and the green which is only 260 yards out. Good course!

The course provides a challenging round with penalty for straying from the fairways. If you are not in a hurry it is a great course and bargain to play but pace of play is extremely slow.

Fun layout-a nice challenge !! Would play again. Nice location.

The greens are in excellent condition. The fairways need improvement - "ratty" in spots. The Course is challenging. It is an excellent value.

Started at 1pm and played 11 holes. A local gentleman was paired with us and he was a great guy.Will likely not play again as it was too slow and had too many playing from tees above their talent range. probably worth the cost.

Fun course, good variety of holes and great greens.

some easy, some tough holes nice array and the very friendliest staff

Only my third time at this course....these greens were awesome! Someone has been paying attention....very good value for the price and the course sets up nicely.
A great day overall.

I received a twilight rate at 12:20 and had no trouble finishing 18 holes. The course was in great winter condition. I would plat there again.

Teed off at 1 pm but unable to finish our round. pace of play slow, with no marshaling. course condition was okay, greens pretty good shape considering the amount of play.

Played the course early on a Friday morning. Staff was very friendly, and price is exceedingly friendly. It was a little chilly, and would have been nice to have a windshield on the cart, but not an option. Front 9 is fairly wide open, but concrete drainage ditches run through the middle of several fairways, sometimes right in landing areas. Understand the need for the drainage, but could have been much better planned. Back nine runs toward Lake Murray. It doesn't have the drainage issue, and was better. Lots of elevation changes. Greens were in excellent condition. Fairways and rough were in bad shape.

We played though lite rain and the cold but was a great time. Big course 13&14 are tough. But really love this course

Took my boys out to play this course. Had a great time. Only issue was the pace of play, it was understandably slow because of the holiday break. Staff was great and the condition of the course was excellent.

Good course with varying terrain and nice views. A lot of hacks on the course in the afternoon so serious golfers should tee off in the morning or run the risk of getting behind a bunch of drinking golfers writing "8" on their card when it should be a 12.

Good Course to Practice Putting the Greens Demand a good Put on Every Hole..

Great course. Condtion and facilty are great. I heard it can get packed after 9am on the weekend. Teed off early sat morning. Wish they could extend the sunday special. :(

Course was build in like 1963 and obviously shows it age a little. City owned, but in good shape and fun to play. Not everything was perfect, but fairways are green, greens were running true, and layout has some challenging holes. Price was great, staff was fabulous, and played with 3 guys I met who were fun. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to have a nice day of playing golf and enjoying the always nice SD weather.
