It is still the same as it was when it was Summitpointe. The grass is just greener. How can you charge that much more for the same course.

I love this course, so does my dog

Well they don’t say no dogs allowed, but they also don’t say dogs are welcome. I just bring my puppy when I golf here and no one says anything. For me, when my pooch is with me, my game is way better. Besides that, the course layout is challenging. Front 9 has elevation changes, back 9 is narrow in a wind valley. The conditions are getting better. Sloping greens are rolling faster and true. I don’t know about the weekend but the weekday twilight is wide open and a fair price. $42 w/ cart. The carts have a gps screen and high tech stuff but it also shows where you can’t take your cart on the course cause if you wander, your cart will shut down til you reverse back to the allowed half side of the hole. Hopefully they loosen or get rid of that headache in the future.

Excellent Conditions

They finally came to their senses and are actually offering great weekday value prices for green fees. $30 in the South Bay....yes, I’m not kidding you. However, that’s balanced out by $14 for a medium bucket of balls. Seriously? That said, the conditions were awesome. Excellent fairways, rough, and fringe. Greens are great too. Some of the greens have a slope, but I didn’t mind. Teed off early and finished in just over 3 hours with a pair ahead of me. Best course for those that like a walking challenge, which is why I went here. Lots of hills, but really fun. Definitely will be back!

Used cart

Cart restrictions

From what I have read the course is in much better shape than before. While that might be the case the course still has a long way to go.

The Good-State of the art carts with GPS and ability to order food. The greens were fast and ran pretty true. The bunkers were excellent with all new sand. Pace of play was good.

The Bad-Those same state of the art carts were restricted in most areas past the the middle of the fairway. they didn't just slow down they stopped and the only way to get back to where you needed was to go in reverse. Also as your cart is shown on the GPS map they can easily show other carts on the same hole. This would help as there are several blind tee shots and some you had to wait until you saw the carts at the green before you could safely tee off. I can imagine this impedes pace of play a little bit.

The greens-while fast they looked horrible, almost like thousands of pitch marks but upon closer inspection might be left over from aerating the greens but they did theirs before my home course and my home course is already back to normal.

All in all it was a fun course to play, but at $80 plus cart fee I probably won't be back.

Very slow play

Played on a Saturday morning. Took 3 hours to play 9 holes, then there were 4 groups backed up on 10 so we quit. Didn't see a marshal on the course but could have used one. Course is cart path only enforced by GPS which further slows down play. We booked a 8:42 tee time amd the clubhouse moved us to 8:33 without letting us know. Fairways amd greens were in good shape. Driving range is real grass which is nice but the balls are kind of odd floating balls due to the lake on the left of the range. I will not play here again, was too slow and not worth the $80 green fee.

Nice Course

I played this course about 3 years ago and it was not in great shape. However the new management seems to have upgraded the course and the facilities. Enjoyed the round, the course is in good shape now. The greens were slow as they had been punched...
