Sunday Golf

I played this course with my dad, and had a great time! Greens need a some work as they are too sloped and non-receptive! Other than that the course was in good shape, and made a birdie on the last par 3, so that work for me to end! Would definitely play again!

Nice Layout for Nine Holes

Good way to spend a couple of hours and can't beat the price. Fairly short and narrrow so a great challenge for iron play. Pace of play was a bit slow given ladies league in front. Sister property at Canada was even better if you have the time for 18 holes.

Pusch Mountain

After paying for round our foursome asked if a starter or whom we follow. We we're informed no starter ... just get in line when ready to golf. We had a 10:12 tee time. Later groups jumped in line to tee off before us..... since that's how the run course. Why even have a tee time?? While playing on 2nd hole, a twosome drove past us. When we arrived at 3rd tee, they we're waiting to tee off (cut in front). We confronted that we we're following the foursome ahead and saw that they tried to cut. Most likely the went ahead to cut again....slowing play down. Wont' go back.

Okay place for a quick 9 holes

Wanted a last minute round of golf and this was available. The condition was just fair and the elevated greens are punitive if you miss them.

Great course!

A great 9 hole course! Challenging, but not overwhelming. Gorgeous mountain views so if the golf's not good the scenery is!

Non Receptive

This is a challenging lay out with, I would say, greater than average elevation of the greens. The greens are small by comparison with most locations, and are hard. In many cases a good elevated pitch still results in run off and down a slope from the green. I would not be able to recommend this course unless greens are made receptive to golf shots.

Most course for the money I have to bet played on and I have been playing for over 50 years. Narrow fairways best for really great golfers or really relaxed ones. We are the later ones. Fun course.

Friendly Staff

I not only enjoy this short course because of its complexity and course conditions, but because of the staff. When I park my car, I’m greeted with a smile and eagerness to help me get situated that makes me happy that I chose the course. The gentleman that runs the pro shop, I believe his name is Ben remembered me! I’ve played this course maybe three times before and when he saw me he greeted me with “Look who’s back again!” It made me feel special that someone whom I’ve spent a collective ten minutes with over the course of two months would remember my face. Excellent customer service!

We arrived an hour early by mistake. JD (starter/manager) did an excellent job getting us out. Enjoyed the course (challenging) weather and people. We have made our next tee time!
