Great Season Opener

Course in very good condition most places. Some gold tees would be nice as whites are a little long for an older senior. Greens a nice speed and roll consistently. A cloudy day is perfect here as there is no shade. Need some rest rooms. Staff is exceptionally friendly. Great practice area.

Not for older women golfers

The Tee are extremely long for older women golfers. The fairways are in good shape and wide but grass needs to be mowed shorter. The Drives do not roll. Then the cart signs to move off the fairways are 80-100 yards from the greens.

No drinking water stations on the course.

Beautiful course!

First time playing out here and the course conditions were amazing. Green fairways and roughs. Very open layout. Greens weren’t too crazy in regards to breaks. Driving range is perfect, you hit off of grass. They had 2 cart girls checking up on players quite often, since there isn’t a pit stop at the club house after the 9th hole. Portable toilets were spread out around the course and they were kept really clean. Pace was good, just a lot of Seniors on the course.

Great Views. Great condition

My first visit to Cimarron golf course did not disappoint. This is one of the best courses in the area for the money. After noon is under $100 which is a total score in this area as most of the golf courses are very expensive this time of year. The course has two courses. A Par 71, 18 hole course and then a small executive course. I played the 18 hole par 71. The course was in near perfect condition. The greens were fast and true. I loved the local rule about the wash that runs through the middle of the course. You get a free drop and two club lengths if you hit the wash. That helps out a lot on some of those hooks and slices. The cart girl made two passes during my round and was very friendly. Beer prices were a little high. The staff inside the restaurant was very nice. Introducing me to the happy hour draft beer was a nice touch but still a little pricey for a draft. Very impressed with this course for the cost in this area I will definitely be back

Well-designed Course Similar to Many Others in the Area

Staff is friendly and helpful. Full-sized driving range, but range balls are not included in the fee. This course is a full 18-hole course with several options for distance based on tee selection. For the most part, the holes are generally straight and relatively narrow. Some have an elevation change, but nothing significant. There is a waste area that runs through the course and you will be advised to keep your carts out of it - play it as a penalty area. The greens were quite quick and rolled true on putts, although it seems that subtle breaks and grain effects were difficult to detect (at least for me!). While it seemed a bit slow pace-wise, we did finish in a reasonable time without any lengthy wait at any hole. Overall, it is a nice course to play - nothing too pretentious and reasonable rates.

Overbooked , Overrated

The course was so overbooked we had to wait for a cart until almost the tee time. Range balls not included. Way overpriced at $12 for 30 balls, no water provided on carts. Started late and finished in the dark. Slow play was a big issue as many beginner tourists and timeshare guests trying to play. No marshall after 2 pm to move pace along. Course conditions can best be described as shaggy. Fairways long with little roll. Greens ok except many unrepaired ball marks. I will not return. For $100 more is expected.

Play it !

Cimarron is a fun course, I’d recommend it to most of my golfing friends. There is a problem in the afternoons of slow play, the group ahead of us had three open greens in front of them. They may have been of Asian descent.
