Cinnabar Hills Golf Club - Canyon/Mountain

Conditions were good, adequately maintained.

Pace of play was good too.

One of the best public courses to play in the area

Our round was 4 hours and 45 minutes. They either put to many groups out or did nothing to marshal slow play. Very painful to have 3 groups on a hole waiting.

Genuinely sad that a course I was so looking forward to playing was disappointing in completely avoidable ways.

Practice range is shutdown 2/days per week until 9:00 for maintenance which make a morning round tough for these old bones. Sad irony was that upon inspection, literally nobody was working on the range.

But the bigger problem was pace-of-play and lack of marshalling. I actually dropped out after 9 holes when we finished 2 hours and 50 minutes after teeing off. Ran into one maintenance worker on the front nine (but no marshall) who said it was backed up for 3 or 4 groups. Asked him to call a marshall but none ever appeared.

At the clubhouse they were gearing up for some sort of corporate event which obviously had all their attention leaving the rest of us to flounder for ourselves.

It had been a decade plus since I last made the trek to Cinnabar. Probably a decade more until I'll regain the desire to play it again.

Cinnabar is always a very scenic challenge. Maybe it was due recent heat wave but the greens were beat up and the fairways had patches of dead areas. I’d easily pay over $100 when the course is in its typically great condition. Maybe not so much so when it’s beat up.

Extremely challenging, but conditions of the course are great

This course is too nice to allow bare spots in the middle of fairways.

Wow what a joke. The course conditions were abysmal. I have not played anything so bad. Half the holes barely had grass. You could hit the fairway and it just be dirt. Grass was patching. Greens and area around the greens were terrible. What an badly maintained course. I’ve never requested a refund from a course to do quality but wow this would definitely deserve. Avoid it
