Packsaddle Ridge Golf Course

The course is rough all round. The fairways for most part are more like rough. The tee decks are terrible, some greens are terrible condition. It would be pleasure to play it got some TLC. Beautiful layout and design. Just rough, rough, rough.

The tee boxes look like they haven’t been cut in over a month and the rough was so tall it was practically unplayable. Use to be one of the best courses in the state and has turned into the worse. Very unsatisfied and doubtful I’ll return.

Terribly maintained course, golf carts die by hole 17, not a good experience.

I’ll start off by saying I never leave reviews or complain but I felt it necessary and I’ll consider it a success if it convinces just one group not to play here. The fairways are bad. The rough is terrible. The greens were horrific. The tee boxes atrocious. Getting to the tee boxes you have to walk through hay fields because no grass has been mowed around them since 2006 (by my estimation). The fairways had large patches of grass the grounds crew seemingly missed and didn’t care to go back and cut the same length. Roughly half the greens are unplayable due to burns or just dead patches where grass can’t grow. We considered leaving after the first hole because it was that bad and we couldn’t get on the green due to the sprinklers running. What greens did have grass had no upkeep and putts had to be drilled from 10 feet just to get it a foot within the hole. We ended up playing 9 instead of 18 because every other course was completely booked but I would’ve gladly ate the $40 to change courses. Such a shame to see a course with so much potential and rumored to once be in such great shape slip away like it has. It needs to be sold or closed, and accepting people’s money to play here is highway robbery. The only positive review I can leave is that pace of play was fantastic but that’s because we were the only people who missed the memo to avoid this place.

Packsaddle is a great course, with a lot of great looking golf holes. Have played here a handful of times and they’re steadily getting the course back to original greatness. If you like a challenge the Blue tees are for you here. Great layout and not a ton of opportunities to loose golf balls. All around great time even if you play by yourself.

If this course was taken care of properly and was maintained like a 5 star golf, then this course would be one of the best in the valley. Has a fantastic layout and has some of the best views of the valley for a mountain course. Just poorly taken care of.

Love the way this course plays, but certain things are not well kept suck as the cart path. It was a bumpy ride in between holes, some greens were very patchy as well as bunkers filled with water

Apparently they have recently reopened after Covid shutdown so course not as pristine as when played 4 years ago. Stunning views and hope they are able to return to their pre-Covid conditions.

I played this course a few times a couple of years ago and always liked it very much. They closed the course after Covid hit and recently reopened. The course was in good shape except the greens have not come back completely, but they weren't too bad considering the course had sat there for over a year neglected. It is good to see the course reopened and I plan on playing it several times this year.

There is something special about the course, great layout and beautiful views. I love it! I would play it more often, but it is an hour and a half drive from where I live. If I lived close by I would play there all of the time.

Make sure you bring plenty of balls, if you miss the fairway you will be in trouble on a lot of the holes.

The course is recovering from being closed. Horrible shape.

Granted I hadn’t played this course since 2005 but it is pale in comparison to its former glory. The course was always challenging due to the elevation changes and narrower mountain fairways but it was kept up and beautiful. Now, the greens are in terrible shape, not a single rake in bunkers, no sand for divots at tee boxes or on the cart for fairways. Carts are also old, & clubhouse felt like a ghost town. After GolfNow’ processing fee it worked out to 53.38 a person which this course is way overpriced. Lakeview, or Shenvalee are much better options if in the area and using GolfNow. Some positives are the course wasn’t busy and the area is gorgeous with lots of wildlife which was enjoyable.

Ordinary played in the late 2000’s when newly opened

Apparently financial issues saw the course conditions deteriorate. The course is well designed and original amenities top notch

Management is working hard to bring conditions back to the hey day.

Eel worth playing now as the prices are reasonable and the course is in improving condition.

Not very friendly to handicap individuals. Huge walk up to club house to get carts. Cart should be at the bottom.

He was so kind and course was so beautiful.

Only defect was the inclement weather of sleet and 30 miles of gust.

But we enjoyed it so much.

Thanks
