Canoa Ranch Golf Club

I had high hopes for this round. The service was great and the course was in good shape overall. Unfortunately, the bunkers were filled with rocks instead of sand, so I avoided playing out of them to protect my clubs.

The real problem started on the back nine. After hole 9, the pace of play came to a standstill. I was stuck waiting on three groups ahead of me before I could even tee off. By hole 10, the backups were so bad that the groups behind me were also stacking up. It got so bad that I ended up quitting and couldn't finish my round. It was incredibly frustrating.

After driving over an hour to play, I had to walk off the course without finishing my round. It’s disappointing to invest that much time and not even be able to complete the experience. This course has potential, but the pace of play needs serious attention.

Although it worked out for me I’m fairly sure that my ball was not meant to roll right through sand free bunkers. Apart from this I think that this course is a most enjoyable golf challenge.

The course was great except the sandtraps which were terrible. They need to be rebuilt.

Took some visitors from Iowa here for an afternoon of golf and every hole was 20 minutes long. Signed up for 18 holes and played 10 before it got dark. Used to really love this course but having real concerns about ever returning. The bunkers are really bad the fairways were moderately maintained and the greens are pretty rough this year. Really sad it's a beautiful Golf Course otherwise

Canoa has seemed to have fallen off in the last 4 years. The traps are unplayable, completely unplayable. This isn't really new, so if you choose to play out of them it is hard but most times you just do the locals thing and drop your ball outside of the trap.
The thing that really was irritating this time was being told to start 20 minutes before our scheduled tee time just because the other twosome was there and available. We had barely had 5 minutes to warm up and felt rushed and it completely wrecked the first hole or two. Do better, the times are there for a reason, no need to rush people. Truly unfortunate, Still a course I like, just seems the shine is fading from it being a fave.

The bunkers need a lot of work. Currently they are hard as concrete.

Every time we go someone gets injured. Elderly golfers are tripping on sidewalks and paths. No club washers. No bunker sand. No grass. Greens don’t roll smooth. No key to bathrooms so 2 hours till available! Takes a long time to get a beer at the bar.

Lay out was good. Stay out of the concrete bunkers.

Six par threes, 5 par fives and 7 par fours. Not your cookie cutter layout. Holes were interesting and somewhat challenging. A shotmaker's course but fair.
