Course in General

Best I have seen it over the years. They have done quite a bit of work. It appears they are trying to do something with the sand bunkers? No sand in them. Water and pig excrement in some of them. Avoid at all costs!!!

Good Winter Conditions

Canoa Ranch was well overseeded. Greens are not overly fast but are smooth and held well struck approach shots. They were medium speed. Most fairways were in good shape with overseed. Bunkers are still a problem at this course. Really no sand at all. Still good value and pace of play was excellent.

poor planning of golf course

Having a ladies golf tournament proceeding our tee time totally screwed up our round . This tournament (shot gun ) made us 15 min late teeing off then following beginner players for the next 11 holes put us back 2 hours. Poor planning

Sand Traps are rock

The course has a few wonky holes. 18 is a very odd finishing hole. The fairways are great and I liked the greens but the sand traps are just not fair. It is best just to take the ball out.

Fortunately the foursome in front of us let us play through as there was two full open holes ahead of them. We waited every shot on the front 9.

canoa review

Golf course is good layout. Coming out of over seeding, greens pretty slow, entire course needed a good mowing. Bunkers on entire course were bear. nothing but rock and dirt and mud. Starter was a complete jerk . The guy was extremely unprofessional. we played at pace of course keeping up but lying back on group in front. However the group behind drove up on our group interrupting several times. Have some courtesy for other players people..

The course has some holes along with 3 or 4 holes that are crap.

The course is in better shape than I have in a very long time. That made it more playable and enjoyable.
