Squaw Valley Golf Course - Comanche Lakes Course

Squaw Valley is such a nice place to play. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming.

I liked CL the most of the two. It has the better layout and the better greens from a design standpoint. The conditions could be better, but for the price I would still recommend.

There are a few rough areas on the greens and the fairways but overall in descent shape

Course is in good shape and greens are spotty in places with winter poa annua. Pace was 2:10 for front nine and group behind us decided to skip a hole and joined with the slow twosome ahead to make a group of 5 for our back nine. We waited behind them for every shot so back nine holes was 2:50 pace. Called the clubhouse but they don’t have a marshal. Nice day but the 10:51 group of 3 inconsiderate old men made it a super slow round by skipping ahead.

Typical course condition for this time of year, T-boxes rough condition, Fairways pretty decent, Greens held ok but really rough and bumpy tough to putt on. Biggest complaint was the 5 hour round, three groups in front of us as told by starter were playing as a 5 some, and they all were very very slow

The greens have problems. Lots of weeds make the ball jump around when putting.

I play the Squaw courses 8-10 times per year and I love both courses especially for walking. The Lakes course was a bit rough this time compared to my normal experience. It may just be the rain and cold weather related and dormant grass but there were more bare areas than normal for sure.

The course is recovering nicely from green repair and a brutal past summer. It’s in good shape and should return to its spectacular play in the spring. There are still few bare spots but should fill in nicely. The course is very playable and in good condition.

Haven’t played the Lakes in over a year and was pleasantly surprised it was in such good shape. Will definitely be back
