Awesome course, in great shape, terrific price

This is second time playing this course. Found it in really great shape! Fairways nice and green and greens in excellent shape. Plenty of fun and challenging holes - especially 18! Great value at this time of the year! Friendly staff! Will be back!

Poor Management

Showed up for a 12:56 tee time. Tee off on time.

At 4th Hole a member Horse Race tournament shows up. We thought they were behind us.

Still we played front nine on pace, arriving at next tees with little to no wait.

On 8th Fairway the course Manager rides through. I ask him if we will finish by sunset. He says “Yes, no problem”.

We get to 10th Tee …. 4 Groups waiting. Over 20 minute wait. No Course employees in sight.

Bottom line…. We did not Finish our round as back nine took 3 hours.

What kind of Course treats you like this? We paid $100 to be treated poorly. And by time we got cart turned in … only the cart staff was around.

If the Course cannot manage a “game” they should say so up front … refund our green fees … and we part friends.

Disappointed.

Course was fair for price. No water stations other than a drinking fountain on front nine. Snack area was Closed from 11:00-11:30. Really? Was never able to get water or food. No beverage cart either.

The course was in excellent condition except for the sand traps which were very firm with very little sand on the surface.

Best value for the Money in the valley

From the pro shop, to the cart folks, the starters and the inside staff, I enjoy this course more than most. The layout is as challenging as you want to make from multi tee box locations. I have played 7 rounds since February 1 and have not had a bad lie in the fairways. The greens roll perfectly, what you see is what you get. Last year I took instruction from the assistant pro Rod Prieto for a technical glitch and he fixed the problem quickly with expert advice and charged me for only a half lesson. That says it all about my feelings for this course and it's staff. The homeowners should feel very good about who they have running the place.

With multiple tees, and combo options, the course can be tailored to each golfer. The layout was nice, with challenging holes and straightforward holes. The pace of play was very slow.

First and last at PDCC

This was our first time at PDCC, and we do not plan to try it again. Pleasant experience when we arrived and we were greeted with bag pickup and cart set up, but the course is in poor condition with the rough was as hard as a sidewalk and very slow play. No marshall or assistance and when we returned 4.5 hours later, all we got was the afternoons always get backed up a lot. No food or beverage after 2pm at the turn…..

This is not a country club, but more st city courses are run better.
