Don't Play this course right now

The course is getting worked on. The tee boxes are all closed. The greens are not in great shape right now either. The sand traps are full of green water and are currently unplayable. There are signs that say to not hit your ball in the sand traps.

This is a terrific course when it's in good shape. I was told they'll be up and ready before Thanksgiving. Hopefully it's sooner than that.

Course under repair

This course is under repai and should be closed until completed. Tee boxes are not open and temp tee boxes are at the beginning of the fairway. Bunkers are not open and are under repair, although very few workers working. No way we should have been charged $38 for a round. Bar and staff were very nice, but we were there to play golf, not have lunch.

Do not book this course.

Still construction is going on.

They’re supposed to sell the tee time.

All the tee boxes are not opened, all the bunkers abandoned, all the green’s are not ready.

Just wasted money n time.

Should be in great condition in two years but not now.

Lastly, the lady who worked at the pro shop does not qualify for public service.

Needs more education on the job.

Good greens and fairways but everything else was in bad shape

Tee boxes are under construction. We had a 9am tee time and on 4 of the holes their sprinklers were on. This wouldn’t be an issue but they were also on the make-shift tee boxes in the fairway. We had to tee off on these holes in the rough. Bunkers are filled with rocks and are also under construction. After their construction is done it may be a good course as the layout is really cool and challenging.

Tee boxes under repair

With the tee boxes under repair and the bunkers being replaced the course played completely different than what it should have. Not a very good day out at Colony West.

Colony west championship course

We know that the tee boxes were under construction and unusable…but The course was in very good shape. Greens are well-maintained. Traps could use an extra rake out but otherwise it was a great day

No tee boxes

Unbelievable how they can still be open during this renovation. Plus I play there a lot and they told me it wasn’t bad. Absolutely horrible. And for 40$. That is crazy. I wish I could get my money back. Don’t play for a few months there. Worst experience I’ve had in a white.

They need to let everyone know that renovations are taking place and give discounts for place tee boxes in the fairways.

No warning

The course is on a long journey of improvement. When they will get there,IDK.

9 holes of tee boxes are on major revamp and the forward placement of tees are ill placed and cuts off major Yardage from the course. With a bridge they have crossing to the 12th green, closes the 12th hole, you basically have 8 of 18 holes of normal holes.

Need to Wait a Few Months

I have played the Champ Course for years and always liked the tough layout. Conditions were never that good but it looks like some improvements are in the works. I was surprised to find out that the signature hole (#12) has been closed for months to install a new bridge and about half of the tee boxes were closed and getting ready for new sod. It should be a great place to play once the grass has filled in. Stay away until the winter season. Hopefully they will get it done in time. It really needed it.

SLOW and tee boxes being redone

When a group of 2 sits behind a group of 8 for 2 1/2 hours on the back nine its alittle frustrating. They’re redoing the Tee boxes and hole 12 was unplayable so not what the course should be.
