DarkHorse Golf Club

Love this course and it has a lot of elevations, but the brakes on the carts are terrible. It is very frustrating trying to set the brakes. They need to invest in a different technology for the brakes.

Fun and hard..very challenging…wish they had a pro shop but driving Rand and course is wonderful..like most courses..bunkers need attention but still can not complain

The course layout was excellent and challenging

Cart paths done well and greens excellent

Fairways are wide enough to keep slight miss

hits in play and gross miss hits get there just

due in the tall weeds n reeds

No clubhouse facility was strange, some weeds

in sand traps

Looking forward to playing DarkHorse again

Played this course a number of times but it’s been a couple of years and they have let the course go. Weeds in the sand traps, tee boxes not very nice , carts a mess. Had to wait 20 min to get a cart. Greens ok. No ball washers or trash cans on any of the holes. Used to be a nice course.

One of the worst golf experiences I’ve had in my golfing life.

When we arrived, we were told carts were running a few minutes behind. That’s understandable, but it ended up being a 35-minute wait past our scheduled tee time before we were able to get a cart. For a course selling tee times, it’s hard to understand how there aren’t enough carts available to keep pace with the schedule.

While waiting, I purchased a bucket of range balls for $15. Unfortunately, 10–15 of the balls were cracked and damaged. Not only was the quality poor, but hitting cracked balls with my first swings on my new irons was frustrating. To make matters worse, the course eventually started handing out free range balls because they were so far behind, meaning I paid $15 for something others were receiving for free.

Once we finally got on the course, pace of play was completely out of control. It took nearly three hours to reach the 12th hole, where there were three separate foursomes backed up on the same hole. There was no course management to address the congestion.

After spending far more time and money than expected, we decided to leave before finishing the round. I’ve played here more than 10 times over the years, but this was by far the worst experience I’ve had, and unfortunately it’s enough to make me think twice about returning.

One of my favorite courses. Love the layout and the mountain vibes. Concerns are that the maintenance is a bit rough. Weeds and high grass are encroaching and the bunkers need some TLC. Overall the greens are in great shape, but the fact that people still refuse to fix their pitch marks is sad. Every green I fix at least 3-4 extra pitch marks. Darkhorse is still a favorite, but not worth it at full price.

. We were headed to hole number one and noticed that our golf cart looked like it has recently been flipped. The other car would not break no matter how hard you pressed on it. We simply tried to go exchange the carts. We were met with a very aggressive who he called himself. The owner. Start shaking the cart while we were in it. And telling us it's the way it is. It's twice as much in Vegas... I paid almost $500 for this Father's Day outing with my brothers and dad .While slurring and spitting his words, he tried to get in my older brother's face. Have multiple videos. There's multiple witnesses. I believe some of them members you really need to check your security film. This is unacceptable behavior. May seek legal action

Extremely poor experience, wont be coming back anytime soon. Showed up an hour before tee time, no range balls were available to practice, can't chip around practice area, no cart was available until 5 mins before tee time. Starter was noticeably irritable. Course conditions were poor, tee boxes were full of weeds and had no flat areas, bunkers were hard as a rock, green speeds were very inconsistent, pin locations on gps were off by 20 yards, and a 6 hour round at 1 pm on Saturday. Worst golf experience in Nevada county ever. Beware, dont waste your time and m I ney on this course.$60 was a rip. I dont think its worth $20.

The course is well maintained, clean and has challenging/rolling greens. Has been my favorite course around nevada county.

We enjoyed playing this gem. It had been some time since I've played Darkhorse GC, definitely playing it again soon.

It would be nice to see the estetics improved on the course. Bunkers cleaned up, berry bushes trimmed back, weeds along cart trimmed and bull thistles removed.

Fairways need irrigation leaks repaired and they would be almost perfect. The greens were the best part of the golf course, great speed, the contour and movement made you focus on all of your putts.

The course is in good condition but whats wrong with not allow to drive the carts in the parking lot is the only course do that is descasting and no ball cleaners and water to drink they better fix the problem or problably not going back again.

Course Design: A-

Course conditions: C+, tee boxes:D-, not flat anywhere; greens: B+

This course is a very nice course worth playing multiple times if I were staying in town. Fairways were in pretty good shape even though it rained heavily two days prior to. The greens were in fantastic shape and rolling very fast. We truly did enjoy playing here.

I love this course, but this day was too windy and it was cart path only on a solo round. Exhausting - wish I'd checked the weather report first. I'm ok generally with cart path only, but this course has a lot of raised cart paths so it is a lot of hoofing it up and down hills. Love the track - maybe my favorite layout. One bunker had exposed concrete and was unplayable (probably some other bunkers too, but this time I did not personally engage with EVERY bunker lol
