Shandin Hills Golf Club

Played Shandin Hills for the second time. Course was in good shape, but got behind a scramble tourney so it was a little slow. Staff is great. Nice practice facility for chipping and bunker play, but have to hit off mats in the range, which is small and was full. Had to wait for a spot, and ended up only hitting a fourth of the $9 large bucket before called to tee off. Also, it was more expensive through Golf Now than if I had gone straight to their website. Overall, a good day and a nice course.

I've seen Shandin Hills make some improvements over the past 18 months. However, one of the real appealing characteristics has changed. I appreciated the work done around the greens, but especially had seen the fairways really come to life. It appeared someone cut the grass down too tight in the fairways, and it just hadn't recovered.
Overall, a good experience. Reasonable value/fee. Good local course. Pace was fair, I've played it much slower in the past.

Great course. One of my favorites. Great staff. Course is always in good condition. Played 18 holes in 3 1/2 hours.

The greens are great , fair ways are good , sand bunkers are good and the tee boxes are good. Only bad thing was , it was raining golf balls.. almost got hit a few times.......its a good place to play , the range is good too. The price is not the best but 37 isn't bad. Overall good place to play.

enjoyed the round and the duo that I was paired with.

When I made the tee time, I was not told the course was being aerated. Therefore the greens were extremely full of sand. I would of liked to have played on better greens.

Much improved over past 12 months. Best shape I've seen it in in the 10yrs I've played here. Challenging Greens. Good test for good value. Would be much more expensive in better community setting.

I paid 29 dollars for green fee, cart, bucket of balls, and a lunch meal ticket. Great. I happened to lose my ticket and was effortlessly given another "no questions asked".

Played the course today and was really disappointed. The fairways were horrible. You could not ever tell where the rough starts and the fairway ends. There were big rocks in the bunkers and the fairway. The greens were nice green in color but rolled horrible. There were really bumpy and were cut very inconsistently. There some holes that had a lot a green slope so obviously they let the green grow a little longer that is nice to see because those greens would just about be impossible to control the speed. Then there were the greens on the back 9 which were all pretty flat and all were cut at different lengths it seemed like. This made it challenging to figure out the speed. The fairways were wide open with no real penalty for not hitting a tee shot straight and the greens have to be the smallest around. Over all it was a below avenger course design and a below average course conditions which added up for a below average experience. Not worth the 32 I payed on a week day.

I enjoy playing this course for the price and if you sign up for emails you can get great deals!

Always a great place to play. Greens are kept up well.

Played the wihte tees and found this length challenging enough. Pace of play was excellent, given a weekend date. Fairways reflected the drought conditions but the greens were excellent, holding well and putting true. Proximity of greens to tees makes for a great walking course.
Overall I would rate the course condition average but the pace of play excellent..
Food available was good and served quickly.

Course conditions were a little rough. Dried out fairways and uneven tee boxes. Greens were great though. Not very difficult, only problem, seemed overbooked. There was a fivesome out in front of us, and a few more on the course that slowed things down. Could have used a marshal.

Great Place to play ,i enjoy everything about it. the challenges that it provides only makes me better.

Pretty slow day for us. Weekend so you have to expect that. Average course.

The course is getting better but the fairways need to be watered more. The greens are the tee boxes in great shape. Staff is nice and carts are clean.

The greens were just a little bumpy from a previous aeration about 8 to 10 weeks ago. Other than that, the course is in excellent condition.

7 AM tee time. Staff was ready and friendly. The course was in nice shape. Tee boxes were level and green. Fairways are green and full, not many bare spots. Greens were receptive and had good speed. The bunkers have real sand and were in no e condition.

The inescapable reality of this course is that the 215 freeway runs right through the middle of it. The entire front nine is east of the freeway, and five of the holes on that side are within 50 yards of the traffic headed up the hill toward Las Vegas You pass under the freeway to get to the back nine, where just two holes are directly adjacent to the traffic; however, two of the holes on the back sit next to the railroad tracks. The impact of the freeway and railroad is unfortunate - you simply cannot ignore the constant noise.
The design of the course is pretty good. There is a good mix of long and short holes, some challenging elevation changes, and water that comes into play on two holes. The number and placement of bunkers is pretty good too.
Course maintenance was better this time than I have seen here in the past, but still I noticed lots of unsanded divots, some soggy spots where drainage was poor, and greens that were bumpy and slow. The bunkers had adequate sand, but they also had lots of small rocks. On nearly every green I had to gather up small rocks that had been blasted from the bunkers onto the putting surface.
One positive thing about this course is the price. We only paid around $20 to play. I was tempted to rate the "Value for the Money" as great, but then I remembered the freeway and railroad noise and changed my mind. Even for $20 I'd expect a great value for the money course to offer some peace and quite to go along with an otherwise good golf experience.

The course had a good mix of different kinds of holes, Water, doglegs left and right, elevation changes up and down, and flat, Greens were moderate speed. Greens seamed well guarded with bunkers. Sand bunkers had real sand. It was nice to hit real sand shots. Will be back to play again for sure.
