Great time on the course

Thecweather was great. The course was in excellent condition. The staff was outstanding. Couldn't have had a better day. Our crappy play didn't even put a dent in the great time we had!

Great design

This was a great experience, the course layout is really challenging and fun. A little course knowledge would go a long way. Par 3’s have fair length the par 5’s can be reached with two stellar shots. There is plenty of trouble for errant shots.

Getting worse

The course is gradually getting worse as far as golfers go. They now charge money to use the practice chipping area which they have never done before. Secondly, I play this course twice a week, one of those days is as a single player: they have eliminated the ability to sign up as a single player. For that reason I am forced to find another golf course that is more accommodating. The staff, though very nice and friendly, was unable to give a valid reason for this change.

Great layout, a bit dated

Loved the layout. The greens were receptive yet fast. The back nine had some condition issues. Great short game area and practice green. The food was great and the staff very friendly and helpful. I will return.

No single player option

For some reason this course has done away with reserving a tee time for a single player: in the past I would sign up as a single then get paired with whoever. Now I can’t even sign up. This will alienate many players who has no option, specifically during the work week but to play as a single: based on this I will have to find an alternate course to spend my money.

One of the best for the money

TGRC is one of the best course layouts in the valley. Greens were in good shape and overall course was in pretty good condition. For the money this one of the best values around.

Better Places Nearby

Been playing golf for 30 years, only course I’ve ever been to that charges and enforces a 9-hole rate after 4 pm. I had my 4&7 year old with me and he charged a spectator rate for each and then tried saying I was dishonest and should have paid a greens fee bc they brought some clubs to hit around too. Just trying to introduce them to the game and people like that are killing it. There was no one on the course and we finished in an 1+10. Ok condition but for the hassle of it all and how greedy they are, I recommend playing anywhere else.

Good layout

Greens are in great shape. Fairways are just ok. Need more grass. Sand traps look good but the layer of sand is very thin. Very hard under that thin layer.
