Difficult; Old Carts

It’s a tough course, especially for someone new(ish) to the game. The greens are fast and curvy. Even from 3-4 feet, will rarely have a straight putt. Bunkers envelope a few of the holes to where there’s only one narrow path to the green from the fairway. There are enough trees to make you lose a few balls and several dogleg holes.

The carts are old and don’t have parking brakes and the bag strap in the back was terrible at keeping my bag in place. Pace of play was really bad. Took 5 hours on a weekday to finish. Particularly backed up on the first and last par 3s (three groups waiting at one point), likely due to the difficulty of those holes. Cart girl came around several times which helped our group cool off with drinks.

4 groups booked at 220

There were 4 groups booked at 220. We teed off at 255 and didn’t finish before sunset. The staff was incredibly unhelpful and rude. Great course, but driving over an hour to not finish was not worth it.

Windy weather

Punched Greens

No warning of punched greens from golfnow or the course website. Pretty ridiculous with no cancelation offered. Could only suffer through 9 holes of completely heavy sanded greens. Rest of course was in good shape. Waste of my money which angers me.

Some greens are punched

The course was in good shape in most area but there are muddy spots here and there. The front 9 greens were nice and slick however the back nine’s are punched. It would take about two weeks to recover. Skip the course for now until the greens are back to normal.

El Dorado Golf

I really like this course. It was challenging but area around club house and restaurant need updating.

I remember growing up over 60 years ago down the road and passing the park and golf course when I went to school, brings back memories..
