Average at Best

The course was average, at best. The greens were very good, the fairways were average, and the tee boxes needed help. Outside of the fairways and greens, there was very little grass and a lot of time you hit off of little patches of grass or dirt. In addition, the pace of play was very slow - 5-1/2 hours for 18 holes.

Great layout

We've golfed Cathedral Canyon many times in the past and have always enjoyed the layout.

Some reviews said that it's in really poor condition, but we felt it was the same as usual.

Greens and bunkers were good but some of the fairways were a little thin (we bumped the ball on most fairways).

The price is a little steep but I had a GolfNow coupon which helped a bit.

Course not in the condition it could be,

Course was not in the condition it should be for the price they normally charge. Greens were ok, sandtraps need work and the fairways were firm and need attention. Lots of water, so look at the scorecard. Drop the normal price or improve the course.

For me a very unforgiving course. Had lots of trouble reading greens and I am usually a good putter. Haven’t played in a while so probably lacked some touch around greens. Since grass in thins several shots found water that wouldn’t on other courses. Yardages were difficult to find and I don’t use electronics. Probably won’t play it again.

Fun golf course, green fees to high

I treated my two grandsons to a round of golf for the holidays. I surfed the internet looking for a course at a reasinable price.

Came a cross Cathedral Canyon for $75.00 per person. Got there and was a little disappointed. The condition was fair and the greens were good. The overall lay out was a fun course with lots of water :-). I would say $50.00 per person would be fair

Poor condition

Looks like lots of ‘winter kill’ in fairways and some greens. Have to play preferred lies or you’re hitting off hard, bare ground. Place not busy in mid-season and I can see why!

Terrible Shape

The course is in really poor condition from the fairways to the greens.

Would never play this course again. Yard markers were not visible.

Don’t waste your time and money

Decent Course

The course was very functional. It does need some TLC. The greens provided a great challenge, the bunker sans was quite packed and some of the fairways were in need of repairs.

Course needs some TLC

First time playing there this year and I was disappointed. Fairways were very dry and hard. Greens were fast but bumpy. Lots of water hazards on the course, so bring extra balls if you are not a good golfer. I had a discounted rate, so it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't pay full price. JC Golf needs to put some money in the course.

Worth a try.

In no way resort caliber condition.

But overall a good design.

The greens were better on the front

a little bumpy on back .Staff friendly carts new and top guality.

Be careful on ten if using gps

the card yardage is correct system seems to be measuring to old green.

I bet grass condition will improve in March and April. Fairways are cut tight and smooth need grass to come in better. I would play again.

Worst Course Ever

Worst course I ever played. Maybe it was nice 50 years ago. Fairways were littered with goose crap. Greens were bumpy. You have to negotiate a maze between neighborhoods from one hole to the next. Lots of dead, no grass areas in the fairway. Ball washers broken or without water. Just an awful experience. Don’t waste your money!

This course has several par 5 ‘s that are made narrow by water hazards and challenging by well-placed bunkers that effectively capture shots that roll too near, and the ball does roll as if on a links course! The presence of all kinds of water fowl causes one to frequently check the bottom of shoes.

The course has some great features and a challenge for any skill level.

The fairways and tee boxes need a lot of work. The poorest course conditions of any course played in the area in the past month. Greens are considered only in fair condition when played yesterday!
