What a great course!!

I have been wanting to play this course for years but could never muster up the courage to do it. I always believed it was way above my skill level.

Last week I decided to pull the trigger and get a T time for today.

Showed up this morning at 0815 for a 9:30 t time. Guys at pro shop counter very polite. Grabbed cart and hit some balls to loosen up. Then the putting green. The practice green was difficult to figure out but I was able to make some decent puts.then it was time to go. The starter was very polite and gave me some info to help me out. He put me with 3 other guys. They have golfed this course many times. We played the Mountain / Canyon. My first shot at Mountain #1 cleared the barranca by about 75 yards from the silver T’.

I found this course to be in excellent condition. The T boxes were level with plenty of grass. The fairways were incredible,. Lush green grass very easy to hit off of even with the elevation changes. The bunkers had soft fully sand. I managed to find a couple but was able to get out.

The greens were tough for me but managed a few par puts and a birdie on # 9..

The Canyon course was more difficult. The last 4-5,holes are just brutal, but I managed.

I’m a 18 handicap, and scored a 95:. So breaking 100 was awesome for me/..

I will definitely be back!! Thanks Cinnabar!!

Very Wet

The course was very wet from the recent rains but in better shape than expected. The greens were a bit slow but true to form. I Love This Course, it’s Really Hard but if you play well here you can play well anywhere.

Too slow

Cinnabar is a challenging course with equally tough undulating greens. Due to this degree of difficulty, don’t expect to finish if you have a late starting time - especially if cart path only restrictions are in effect. They were no cart restrictions the day we played, yet we were unable to finish due to painfully slow pace of play. Disappointing.

Awesome but tough

Im pretty new to golf so I have no business playing here, but I used a coupon and glad I got to play a round. Its a beautiful course with amazing views. I found it challenging to get on fairways due to the ravines between the tee boxes and the fairway, its very intimidating for me. The greens were super fast and extremely challenging on some holes due to pin placement.

Great course but slow pace

I go out of my way to play this gem of a course mainly because it is beautiful, challenging, and the pace of play is great. However this round took almost 5 and a half hours. No Marshall in sight.
