Lake Powell National Golf Course

I booked the course without doing any research. I had time for a quick round during a business trip. The Staff were friendly and courteous. For November I felt the course was in excellent shape. The greens rolled true and the fairways were smooth. As it is a desert course, you need to keep the ball in play or it can get tough to find your ball but there was plenty of room off the fairway to make it a playable track. Course knowledge would be helpful for first time players. The carts have GPS and show distances to the end of fairways and carry distances, but your shot is often blind and you are not sure what lies just beyond the fairway. On number 5 there is light rough just beyond the end of the fairway, so you could easily play a ball that roles out too far. However, on Number 7, if you go too far, you will likely lose your ball or have a very difficult approach. There were several more times on the back where knowing the course would have helped in deciding the right club off the tee. When in doubt, lay up here.

It was an enjoyable course that I would play weekly if I lived near by.

It's a challenging course in very good condition with significant elevation changes (and views) at a very reasonable price-point!

Caught the price on golf now for $45.00 well worth that. Normally walkers but this is not a walker.

Great play.

This course is very scenic, interesting, and fun to play. It is in excellent playing condition too. Highly recommend!

Very interesting & challenging layout. Good quick greens for seeding season

Aside from the bunkers, conditions were all good, no complaints. “Sand” was very solid. Many challenging holes on steep terrain and wide open views.

The course was in.good shape. A few minor issues here and there. The fairways were in good condition. I don't think I had one bad lie. The pace of play was very good. Very few golfers on the course. The layout was interesting. It's not a walkable course. The downhill 200 yard hole was impressive. I parred it! All carry over red clay. I definitely would play again.

Lots of great views all over the course. A lot of blind tee shots. Great service by the friendly staff.

The course is a great value, I had read a review that basically listed every negative thing the reviewer could think of. The is not a course in Rancho Mitage where unlimited clients shell out 150-200 for a round. For a course in the middle of nowhere in a tiny town they do a fantastic job keeping the grass green the fairways mowed and greens rolling just right. All of this with a lot less players . Which makes it easy to get a tee time but harder to contain and manage cost vs revenue. It reminds me of Butterfield in El Paso with more trees.

I liked it so much I’m playing again tomorrow. I played the front 9 with a local who knew the course and I shot 38. I played the back 9 alone and had no clue where to hit the ball and I shot 43. You absolutely need to have course knowledge in order to play here. I really really enjoy this type of course. Every shot needs to be strategic. Even into the greens. Some of the greens have 2 tiers like you’ve never seen.

Golfers who look down see signs that Lake Powell National is a muni with bald spots in fairways and slow, patchy greens. Golfers who keep their heads up, however, are treated to scenery that competes with Wolf Creek in Nevada and Sand Hollow in Utah for the most beautiful inland course in the American Southwest. I'll take these views over a cookie-cutter course design with better conditioning every time.

The back nine climbs to higher heights with panoramic views of the Glen Canyon Dam where the Colorado River becomes Lake Powell. The 15th hole, a 191-yard par 3, plummets off an elevated tee with a stirring drop to the green. With all the red rocks, bunkers, some water and elevation changes, it's a stiff test of golf, but one well worth experiencing.

We had driven buy this course a number of times and finally stopped. It is a great layout, very good condition, fantastic views and challenging play. We did get stuck behind a slow playing group but that was the only issue.

We arrived 30 minutes prior to tee time. Tee was open, but we had to wait until our tee time.

I had a great time playing Lake Powell National. The views were great and they had some super cool holes. Worth checking out!

Good track....incredible views of the Colorado River
