If you like a challenge, this is the 9-hole course for you!

Overall, our group had a great time, but this course is challenging. You will need to hit the ball well enough to keep it in the fairway, and the greens are small. If you remember playing courses in the 1970s that had small greens that were the kind where you need to land the ball a few yards in front of the green to get the ball to stay on the green, you will do well. The course has scenic views on every hole. The staff in the pro shop were friendly and welcoming.

Tough little nine

I haven't played this course in over 20 years. Nice layout and challenging narrow fairways. The greens need more attention as they are a bit bumpy and hard. Very difficult to get the ball to check up.

Pace of play was good and it was fun to play the course again. I'm sure that I'll be back in the near future!

Look up after looking down!

The best thing about this course is the amazing views from most of the holes. The condition of the tees and fairways is fine. However, the greens are poor, quite bumpy and slow. The narrowness of most tee shots challenges any level of player.

Beautiful views

Challenging little course where accuracy is a puss with stunning views of the mountains. Elevated greens can be tough to hold. No driving range but some net bays for a warm up.

Longtime no Play

It’s been over 15 years since the last time I played this course and like before truly enjoyed the course and spectacular views of the Catalina’ Mts.

Course conditions still challenging and greens need time for winter rye to take. Will definitely revisit in near future

Greens were spongy but very slippery. Pin placement on No. 8. Made it impossible to stay on the green. Very slanted.

Challenging with great scenery

I have to say that Pusch Ridge golf course is great value for the money. The course was in perfect condition and, while it’s only 9 holes, they are for the most part, challenging holes. The scenery is quite stunning. As we finished the 9th hole, I was wishing we could carry on and play it again - always a good sign of a course!

It was ok.

Course seemed very run down. Unusual layout on the greens. However, not a bad deal to hit a quick 9 holes.
