Very Playable First Time Out

The course is a comfortable length and the holes are never too challenging. Greens were a little "fuzzy" making putting an issue. All around, a good spot to play.

Busy but enjoyable

Frost delay delayed our tee time 30 minutes

A harried cart/starter could improve his social skills

Once off the first tee we enjoyed a pleasant round, fairways were good, greens very slow.

Played the round in 4 hours 15 minutes

The Resort vs The Legend course, there’s no contest

Weaving through a housing development with shared fairways and unpredictable greens, no water features or interesting holes, just very long narrow fairways. I preferred the Resort Course and would play that one again. In fairness to Tahquitz the legend course just reopened from over seeding. You could see most of the greens off in the distance but hard to get on in regulation even for the low handicappers in the group. The views of the mountains are fantastic.

What you see is what you get

If your expectations are low then you will be fine, the range balls are outdated , the backshop guys are about as classy as the golf balls ….its probably a better course for beginners , the locals that we played with apparently paid around 40$ and we paid the full GN absurde price of 110$ per player so that is ridiculously overpriced….The price for golf right now is ridiculous and will deserve a market adjustment at some point!

No value here

Terrible conditions at this course. Driving range is in horrible shape.

Had a rain check after 9 holes with the promise of a cell call from the manager - week later still waiting for any kind of correspondence.

Do not go here - not worth the money , broken promise , bad shape. Very dissatisfied.

Great course, time of year didn’t help

Always enjoy this course but it was due for closing in a week to so which meant bare, brown fairways and greens that weren’t up to standard in some places. Overall a good round but it would’ve been great to be forewarned as we headed out. That said, price was fairly reflective and staff were superb. I’ll be back for sure

Tahquitz-Legends Course

The course was busy but pace of play held-up pretty well. Although it finally was bogged down on the last 4-5 holes. The greens were in good shape and fast. Teeing off #1 & #10 can be dangerous as you’re hitting over an embankment & there is no way of knowing if there are players ahead. The management should look into camera technology that could help.

Blah, blah, blah

Played the Legend course as the resort course was closed and it was very boring. Every hole was straight-away, no doglegs, and it was very flat. Conditions were sub-par. Pace of play was bad as we (twosome) waited on every shot of the twosome in front of us. They couldn't keep pace with the foursome in front of them and one of those guys was walking. I would not waste my time and money on this course. However, the resort course, from what i saw, was in excellent condition.

Not worth it!

Starting with pro shop staff, the attendant did not have a welcoming personality. However, the starter was very hospitable.

The course layout was very basic, except for a couple of holes which did offer some elevation changes. The course was rough from tee to green. Generally, the only “green “ on the course was in the storm runoff areas.

Don’t waste your time or money!
