Love the elevation changes

We love this course. The greens did have a lot of ball marks that had not been repaired. Overall we would definitely play again and tell our friends.

1st timer

Challenging yet rewarding. Be sure to stay out of the bunkers. They will ruin your golf club.

Challenging yet rewarding. The only thing negative about the course is the bunkers. They could ruin a club.

Crowd control

Our tee time for nine holes was 2:16. At 2:15 there were five foursomes waiting and one on the tee box. We were sent to the tenth tee where foursomes coming off nine were not happy to see us cutting in. Bad day all around at the start. Didn’t get much better. Course was fine though

Enjoyable Round

Love this course because if the scenery plus some challenging holes. I thought the course was in good shape: nice fairways and greens. The bunkers were hard and could use some

deep scraping but I shouldn't have been in them (lol).

Always enjoy playing Canoa Ranch

Canoa Ranch

For the most part, course was in good shape. The rough on sides of fairways were very hard and the sand traps should be renamed dirt & rock traps. It was the worst I've seen the traps in past 2 years. The course is a good tough challenge though. I enjoy playing it. Needs some love from the owners.

Don't miss this course

This is a very enjoyable course to play. The holes are interesting, different and challenging. Two of the best par five holes in the valley. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were in great shape. The one negative comment concerns the sand traps. They should be removed or better maintained. They were mostly hard packed dirt with rocks and stones. I would not use my wedges in them. I understand it is difficult to maintain sand traps but these sand traps were awful!

Pace was terribly slow

Tee-time was 1:44. Payed for 18 holes but it took nearly 3 hours to play nine. Walked off after 9 holes. No Ranger to maintain a reasonable pace of play.

Also, sand traps were void of any sand.

Love the course layout,, but disappointed in the experience.
