Not worth the weekend rates of $75

Nice layout, the conditions were a bit disappointing considering the cost of $75 on weekends! Greens had unrepaired divots all over them. I had a tee time off 730 so it wasn’t like a whole day of golfers ahead of me. Bunkers were soggy and again you’d think for the green fees they would have nice white fluffy sand in them, just regular mixture of sand and dirt. Fairways were trimmed but just ok nothing spectacular. Elkhorn up the street is better kept. Spanos is a good track I just think they are over charging, it’s a $50-$60 a round, $75 is a bit excessive but hey who am I. People are paying it.

1st time - will be back

First time playing The Reserve at Spanos- not my best day but enjoyed the course. The course is a very interesting layout with lots of fairway bunkers and some water especially on the back nine. Played combo tease about 6300 yards which is in my comfort zone. Course is in pretty good shape - greens rolled well I’ll albeit a bit Sandy on a couple of them. Only complaint is true for almost every course I play nowadays which is they need to add sand to the sand traps. Will be back!

Place never disappoints. Green’s needed a little attention. Players need to revisit their divots.

Great course fairways and greens were in great condition. Only complaint was the sand in the bunkers. Clumpy and hard sand.

Sunday morning at Spanos

Checked in with the pro shop and was told the tee times were actually a little ahead, which is always a great sign on a Sunday. It was myself and a friend. We were joined by another twosome. Played the Combo tees, which provided a good mix of blue and white distances. Course was in great shape. Pace of play was great, too. We never saw anyone in front of us and only had a group show up behind us on about the 13th. The wind picked up a bit, adding to the challenge. Overall, great course. I'll play it again, for sure.

Great Course

When I arrived, I checked in at the Pro shop. Staff inside wasn’t friendly nor welcoming. This is the second time that I have received an unwelcome response or interaction while checking in at this course. Each time I had booked through GolfNow. Maybe because I had booked through a 3rd party website. The course was in good condition, fairways and tee boxes were in good shape but the greens didn’t roll smooth and were fast.

Understand your ability to handle the afternoon wind

Course has a turf range which is a plus.

Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape, greens aren't at their best. The drought hasn't kicked in yet so get your rounds in ASAP.

Slow play due to tournament

Mgmt should not schedule t times right behind a college or high school tournament as the pace of play due to tournament is extremely slow as it was yesterday.

Had I known there was a tournament right in front of my time, I would not have made it here but as it turned out, was not told until after check in and not by starters at desk but by the players from the 2 Jr. colleges competing. Made for an excruciatingly slow round that took over 5 hours for my twosome.
