Open fields

The course was in decent shape, including most sand traps. Some were very hard, and played like dry pan.Fairways were decent, but the rough was spotty with grass and sand. The winds were up this day and sand was blowing through out the course. It made for tough conditions with wind and sand, especially into the wind .Greens were decent but had some rough patches that made them a little inconsistent, but not terrible. The pace of play was Ok, but needed a Marshall at times when things got really windy and slowed down a lot.Staff was friendly, but still couldn’t get the pace moving well. Overall , fun day, and fairly challenging, but lots of similar holes, that made it a bit of a blur overall.

Pretty sloppy after rain

The course design is a bit dull (straight out and straight back for both 9s) and wraps around a wash area that was pure mud after recent rains. Cary paths through muddy areas were a mess.

Diappointed

I played on Feb. 26/2024 with an early afternoon tee time. Was greeted at the bag drop & was advised to check back 10 mins. Before tee time to get a cart so had to lug clubs to driving range and back to cart area after hitting practise balls. At first tee groups were backed up by 25-30 mins. Pace of play was dreadfully slow, no water containers in the water dispenser stands. Had to guard golf bags on holes near the bridge as there has been cases of theft by homeless people living under the bridge. Also parking lot woefully inadequate for number of players. Have to do better Cimarron. Play Tahquitz Resort instead.

Except for a half an hour back up to original starting time and subsequent inability to finish the round and terrible rest room facilities on course good experience. Perfect greens and lush fairways.

Not too bad

The wash runs through the entire course and does not add to the ambiance. Greens were very good. Some pretty rough spots but overall the fairways were fine. Noisy as it is close to the airport.

Cimarron golf

Friendly people. 4.5 hour round. 1:00 tee time, started play at 1:30, barely finished by 6 pm sunset.

Course is mostly parallel holes with little elevation change. Bunkers are hardpan/concrete. Wash through the course was running water making it unwalkable. Lots of Sandhills everywhere. Greens were in good shape at nice speed without being tricked up.

Don’t let the wind scare you.

So windy to tee off but soon but the wind stopped and the rest of the day was pleasant. Narrow on some fairways if you decide to use driver, lots of small rocks in the sand traps. Nice course with killer views in all directions, well maintained and I’ll be back. Fairways and greens are in very nice condition for our early golf pleasure.

Basic Golf

Conditions average. Layout basic. Good for new golfers. The course is built in a wash. Half of it was closed due to water from recent rain in the mountains. To their credit they gave a good rate for the nine hole limitation. Won’t play there again, though.
