Nice place but to me overpriced

This course was in excellent shape. Greens were nice but did not truly hold shots. Not sure if it was me or the greens but could not read/make a putt to save my life (normally a decent putter). Forgiving fairways and pretty nice size greens. Traps were nice too. Plenty of spots on the range with unlimited Callaway balls.

Great course

We now have played both courses and both are terrific. The views from the Mountaib Course are much better than Canyon. Course is in excellent condition. I will definitely play here again. Highly recommended.

I am down or up canyon for the putt?

Really glad I played the Canyon course because it was very different from mountain courses I have played you had to look to see if you were down or up canyon for the approach and your putts. Sometimes it was very deceiving so you had to look.

Enjoyable round

Had a great day. Course was in good condition. Fairways were a little thin compared to other times I have played but greens and bunkers were great, Pace of play was excellent. Tee off rate was really good, Usually this course goes for atleast 140, so
$80 was a good deal Not having a bar to go to at end of round is one big negative. Don't understantd why the Flying V isn;t open at least for drinks before 5pm

Perfect weather

Eagled the 18th.

The course was in great shape. The hole layout was good. The distance between some of the holes was a little long and confusing. We rode and the area to park your carts on each hole was a little confusing. There is two way traffic on the cart path on a few holes the path is narrow. You would have to play the course a few times in order to know the break on some of greens, it seemed everything broke towards the mountains which could be tricky. That being said great course to have a great day on.

Greens fast and nice layout. Very fair. Excellent practice facility. Some holes are very far apart... but didn’t care too much with the cart.
