Although winter, the course is not in great shape.

Fairways advertised as generous, not so much

Several holes not appealing to the eye

With coupon code, did not pay a lot to play, but would have been aggravated if I had.

May give it another shot in peak season,

Nice layout

First time playing and it was worth the 1.5 hour drive. The course offers a good combination of flat and straightforward holes that are intermingled with

holes with elevation changes that require shot placement strategy off the tee. Good size greens with ample break to challenge any putter. The course is in very good condition from tees to greens.

Great time!!!

I had an hour drive to get here but it was worth it!!! Great lady in the pro shop got me fixed up and since we was early she told me the restaurant had a great cheese burger, she wasn’t kidding. One of the best I’ve had any where!!! The layout was good and the pace of play was perfect. The greens rolled nice and were in good shape. The fairways were coming in good from the overseed but were a little thin, no big deal. Great price and will definitely make the drive again!!!!

Rudest worker.

Some old man working in the pro shop made my gf pay a cart fee just to ride with me even though she wasn’t playing. He treated me terrible the entire time I was in there and was rude to my GF. He should never work around customers again. From now on I will be going to Blackstone golf course. This is the reason Rocky has fallen off and why they could no longer be private is because of grumpy old people like him. Terrible experience

Fun course, worth the drive

We always look forward to playing the course several times during our snowbird season and this season’s first play did not disappoint. The course offers more terrain variations than typical area courses. Challenging enough to be fun but not a hard course. Fairways generous, a few holes with water hazards, some blind holes require thoughtful course management.

A nice layout...

My experience was hampered by getting behind a husband/wife combo that had obviously just taken up the game on the front 9. I’m not sure either 100 on the front 9, seriously. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were in great shape. Most of the holes encouraged driver with fairly wide hitting areas. This is a very different course than most in the area. It was a welcome change. The driving range was decent too.

Nice coarse

The coarse was in good shape considering the time of year that we played it. The grass was dormant when we were there so it was not real green. The fairways and greens were pretty green mainly just the rough was brown. The staff was very friendly. We had multiple members come up and talk to us while we were playing they were all very friendly asked how we were doing and how we liked their coarse. It was a very good experience we didn't run into anyone that was not welcoming. Very nice place.
