Located in the West Valley, the championship-length course at the Coldwater Golf Club boasts several different challenges for an interesting round of golf. There are elevated tees as well as several dry washes. There are two lakes providing water hazards on the golf course as well. There are also dramatic elevation changes caused by the mountainous terrain. Aside from the challenging game, the course also offers beautiful mountain vistas. The course has not only one signature course but two. The first is the modest eighth hole. Although it is short at 100 yards, it features an elevated tee and a triple-tiered green. Coldwater Golf Club also finishes with a signature hole. The beginning tee shot plays to an open fairway over water with a dry wash to the left, while the approach shot is closed-in by another wash to the left and a lake to the right.

Course is in really rough shape

Unfortunately this course is in really rough shape. There is virtually no grass on the greens, the ball is bouncing as it rolls. The tee boxes are not maintained well and the fairways on the front were really bad but the back was better. It has some challenges but if you are looking for a lower price alternative, this is not it.

Poor Results from Overseed

I was a bit surprised to see lots of patchy grass areas in several of the fairways and greens that look like some kind of blight attacked them. I'm not going to pretend to be an agrarian, but it almost appears that the overseed did not go well--at least on several of the fairways. Still enjoyed the round.

Terrible Greens

There were some of the worse greens I’ve ever played. It was like rolling it on hardened mud. Fairways were okay. This course needs to be revived.

Not at it's best

Played this course numerous times. Have always enjoyed it. However the greens are in terrible condition. Not worth what they are currently charging. Everything else was fine. Hope they can get the greens right.

Greens and tee boxes were in pretty bad condition. Fairways were great as they should be this time of year.

For the price they're charging this course should have been in much better condition. The greens were horrible.

Poorly designed & conditions

This course had too much waste area and was inconsistently maintained. For every good hole, there was 3 bad holes. The $90 fee was triple what it should have been. It’s a total price gouge ripoff. One of the worst courses We’ve ever played. Avoid this goat track at all costs.

Great staff, brutal course conditions

Greated by a great guy at the pro shop counter… starter was super friendly.

Course can only be described as a goat track.

Greens were more mud than grass.

Tee boxes were a destroyed mud patch.

Sand traps were rock hard.

Truly don’t know how they charge what they do.

Don’t waste your money

The entire Staff was Great. From inside, to starter, cart girl and woman at counter inside at Grill. No complaints with any Staff. The Greens were horrible , looked like they were growing grass on greens. The Tee Boxes were torn up , we often backed up a foot to tee up our ball. For $88 there are so many other options. I have played here in the past and this is the worst I have seen it.

Absolutely Terrible

There was literally no grass on the putting surfaces. It was all dirt. The only reason the fairways were green was because the grass was an inch and a half tall.

Instance they’re charging 70 dollars for that trash.

Poor greens

This course has gone down hill since I played it last. I would not recommend this course due to the high price and the lack of maintenance to the course.

The tee boxes were not maintained very well at all, the fairways were ok at best, and you had to watch where you stepped as there was bird poop all over, and last was the greens were brown with weeds and clover filling in as grass in places.

I would not recommend this course due to the price and poor conditions. The price doesn’t reflect the quality of the course for sure.

Greens were terrible

I would not play this course again for the money they charged. 90 dollar did not represent the course and the condition that it was in.

The greens were brown and not green at all. The fairways and around the green had bird wast which should have been cleaned up.

The tee boxes were in very rough shape. This is not the course I played several year ago. For the money I paid I would think that they would put some back int to course.

I would not recommend this course, especially for the money they are charging.

Very disappointed in the condition of the course

Won't be coming back. The greens were the worst I've every played on. The fairways hadn't been mowed.

poor condition

The tee boxes are rough and bald, the fairway is hardly mown, and the greens are mostly bald and patchy. The golf course design is interesting, but the upkeep is bad. I would recommend this course.

I would recommend Coldwater to a friend IF the cost reflected the quality. If you want to charge WigWam and Palm Valley prices, you have work to do. There is a great market for less expensive golf. Coldwater is perfectly aligned to take this on.
