Nice layout

Fun layout, much better than playing a par 3 course since you can break out the driver a couple of holes. Pace of play was terrible, which is to be expected on one of the first nice days of the year.

However, there were no marshalls until we reached 15 at which time the group that was holding everyone up had just given up and left the course. A five hour round at a place that boasts 3 hours even on the weekend is just about as bad as it gets. Could be stuck in worse places though! I will be back, but I will be much more vocal about the pace next time.

You get what you pay for

For Late December the greens were fair. It’s a short course with some challenging par 3s and a long 5. Fairways are ok. There is not a clear delineation between fairway and rough. Tee boxes are in bad shape- especially the 12th- very little grass and black tees are on a range mat. Traps are partially maintained but the fairway bunkers have been left in maintained and are being overtaken by fairway grass. Carts are electric and have some age. The course is undergoing an extensive amount of repair so many of the fairways had open trenches in them. Played without. 24 hrs of a decent rainfall and the course had drained well. Overall the round was worth the $19 that I paid. Certainly wouldn’t pay $25 for its current condition but would be willing to pay $35+ if it was in good shape and there were newer carts.

Very nice exec course

Most holes on this course are very tight although most holes have areas for mishit balls. Rough was very tall and tough to hit out of. #8 was probably one of the intimidating par 3 I have ever played. Our group was already talking about playing this course again as we were pulling out of the parking lot.

Best I’ve Seen this Course

I’ve played this course various times. I call it my “short game” practice course. With the exception of a couple of holes the course was well maintained. Frankly it was the best I’ve ever seen it. The course has been opened up with strategic landscaping.

Not impressed

I came to Steel Canyon, hoping for a relatively cheap, fun to play, executive course. Upon arriving, you notice many of the holes are located under power lines, which can actually come into play, and there are A LOT OF HILLS. Not little hills either, BIG HILLS.

Some of the holes are very tucked in, making it seem like they barely squeezed the course in. The worst part was the muddy areas and tee boxes that didn't even have grass. They put mats down instead, even on a par 4??? How do you place a tee on a mat?!

I was highly disappointed in the course layout, but I felt that I got what I paid for. If you want a quick, post-work round, I'd recommend Legacy Golf Links or Fox Creek in Smyrna. They are better kept and you don't have to worry about crashing while driving your cart around mountain-esque terrain.

Advice to the course...Simple upkeep would improve this course tenfold. Cut back some trees and groom your tee boxes and greens. A nicer ground to play on/around would make up for the hills and power lines.

Great use of reclaimed land

They were running a special and the course was fairly open on this day. We only wound up playing 9 but still felt I got my money's worth.

Fun executive course

Good and fun executive course. Greens and.fairways in good condition. Bunkers are not in good shape and barely have any sand it them. But overall a good course to practice a lot of short and long irons.

Bad course

Most holes are par 3s. Lots of kids walking the course. It only took us 3 hours to play but I'll never play it again. Not very well maintained and the cart paths make zero sense. They don't go anywhere near the tee boxes or greens.

Thank you for taking the time to review. Yes, we are an executive golf course, with one par 5 and five par fours. I certainly understand your concern if that was not what you were expecting.

Thank you for coming out and taking the time to review us. Our FootGolf players have specific times so I'm surprised that you ran into them. Plus, they play faster than golfers, so unless you were playing as a single, you should not have caught up to them. If you would care to follow up with us, we would like to know more details so we can prevent this in the future.

Good beginner friendly par 3 course

Overall had a great time playing on this course. Only complaint being cart path could be better marked for which direction to take at some of the forks for where next hole is. Ended up skipping 11th by accident from taking a wrong turn

This was terrible par 61 5 hour pace of play

No one seemed to have any idea what golf etiquette was. No pace of play was enforced and the course itself was a joke. Closer to a par three than a real golf course. Waste of my time and my money
