A DELL DEAD DAY….STAY AWAY

CONDITIONS IDEAL…..UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS THE ONLY IDEAL PART OF THIS ROUND THAT WAS!!

Be prepared to do it all yourself from dropping your own clubs, to finding your own cart, to finding your own score card, getting you own ice, finding your own cups without straws or lids, you name it its a do it yourself dive with the costs of a PGA WEST course without the service or staff.

The place was a joke!!!

OH …..and one thing no one at all mentions its cart path only!!!

Ideal for those 70 and 80 year old players not handicappers! So plan to walk more than ride and wait all day as nothing says enjoyment more so than watching 70 and 80 year olds playing cart path only golf!!!

IF YOU WANT AN ENJOYABLE DAY OF GOLF…….PLAY SOMEPLACE ELSE!!!!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS DUMP.

Walked

Not informed about Cart Path Only

GolfNow never had anthing that it was CPO and the Santa Rosa website never mentioned anything.

I played a few holes and quit as walking is a chore for me. I was angry and voiced my displeasure, still nothing on the website. Disguisting.

A Fun outing

First day open after re-seeding so cart path only. Nice course layout, resort course in nature, nice mounding, good greens and sand bunkers. Greens have been punched at some point and need time to get rid of excess sand and speed up. Still a fun outing.

Excellent time

When we checked in, we were each offered a bottle of cold water and told we could head out to the course early. The staff really made us feel welcome. As it was during the summer, we only saw two other groups, so pace of play was excellent. We were really surprised.at.how well the course was maintained during the summer. This is fast becoming one of.our favorite places to play when we are in the area.

Great course

Everything about the course was awesome.

With the exception of the bar/restaurant.

It didn't open until 11:00 & we were done by 10:30.

And no cart girl either.

Fantastic Day!

This was our first time playing this course and it did not disappoint! Beautifully manicured and lush considering it's August. We will make this course one of our "Musts" every time we're in the area.
