Mission hills Gary Player

Course is good. Greens are great. Sand traps are terrible. All traps need real bunker sand

A hidden gem

I haven’t played this course because everyone knocks it. But not true at all the greens were fast, great tee boxes and fairways. Not hard but sneaky with a lot of water and sand traps. Worth it and I will be back

Great Value

For $80 it was worth every penny!

Not a difficult course but has enough water and sand hazards to keep you focused. Staff excellent!

A disappointment

It is a Gary Player signature course, so I expected an interesting and challenging layout. Instead, I found the front nine boringly simple. There is no rough. The fairways are wide. The greens are flat. Every putt is straight.

The back nine looks and plays like it was designed by another person. Many of the greens were protected by bunkering and water. The run-ups weren't all flat. Much more interesting.

However, what is a killer in my opinion is the bunkers had dirt instead of sand. I was told the wind often blows sand out of the traps, but I've played courses where they use a heavier sand to combat that problem. On top of that, many of the bunkers were not maintained well.

Love This Course

Low handicappers might not find this course challenging enough but mid/high handicappers will find it ejoyable. Course is kept in excellent condition and there's nothing "tricked up" about the course. It plays very fair and rewards good shot-making. I've played it twice and am a fan.

Well maintained course with friendly staff

This was my first time playing the Mission Hills Gary Player course. Really enjoyed the round. It’s an interesting track with just enough water and other hazards to keep you honest and had gorgeous views of the mountains. Course was well maintained and the staff was friendly and helpful. Only issue was when I went to post my score. I had trouble locating the course. Turns out on you have to select Mission Hills North to post your score.

Nice course, great location

We were a twosome, and were behind a slow foursome

The grounds (fencing, off course landscaping, cart paths) all need some tlc; The course is showing it's age.

The staff was super nice and helpful

For some reason, no beverage cart service. It was a holiday week, so we felt lucky to get a last minute tee time, and the price was reasonable for a resort town.

All in all a nice time

Not bad”

For the money, I found many courses locally that outperformed the gary player MissionHills, I’d recommend playing this course, but the greens keepers have been sleeping. Anything off the fairway is in my neighbor’s yard, unkept and dirty.

Good Course with a Great Pace

I truly enjoyed playing this course. It was in great shape and I loved the layout. I think the price was a little high when I compare it to others in the area, and because of that, there weren’t many people out there, which allowed me to zip on through. I love it when I can play a fast round!
