Course is Improving but Over Booked

Recently the course has reverted back to tee times every 7-8 minutes. It’s great for availability but expect waiting for a cart and slow pace of play. Tee times in the afternoon tee off late due to the back up. The course is looking beautiful since new management took over. Took 4 hrs 40 minutes on a Monday. The holiday probably factored in a little bit I’d expect a shorter course like this to play in under 4 hrs.

Love this Golf Course!

My girlfriend and I had a great time playing here except it got very unexpectedly wet the entire time on the course!

They got new nice carts and the course is in great shape.

If you don't want to spend 4-5 hours on a course, this one will take you around 3 1/2 hours! There is some challenging but cool holes and t-shots throughout the course.

We will definitely come back soon!

The staff is friendly too!

Meh..but I’ll be back

The sand traps seem to mostly be gravel and the bathrooms are kinda bad but the course is fun. The staff is great. J just with the kitchen/ cafe was working and that the greens would be aerated. We’ve had some crazy rain but the trees that have fallen haven’t been cleared and it’s the worst when you have a sick drive only to land into the remains of a fallen tree.

Not Bad

As many did, we ran to the nearest course to get our fix. Unfortunately, the course was beaten. Well, more specifically, the greens were absolutely terrible. I might sound harsh because it did rain and snow a bunch. However this was the reality of the course. The staff was extremely friendly as always. And of course we will return.

No food or beverages

We went to this course knowing it would be an "ok" course but what we weren't prepared for was the lack of any food or drinks at all. We called in the 9th hole to get food at the turn only to learn the chef wasn't even there and that they had no snacks, no food and no drinks at all. The greens are in terrible shape and the fairways are not well kept either. The staff was great but was told there's a new group taking over and thus nothing is being done. Very disappointing.

Don’t play here

The course was poorly maintained and needs a lot of work, for the money it was just ok.

Always the best at El Cariso

For waiting just a few minutes for a cart, the always friendly crew at El Cariso were quck to offer a free bucket while waiting. That is why this is my favorite course. They always go the extra step and are super nice. The way golf should be.
