First time playing this course

Great course! A must play. Great scenic views!

Greens are fast going down slope! Watch out. I've played all courses around there, Darkhorse, Auburn valley and the Ridge. This course is up there with em.

Price made it worth it

Course is pretty. Lots of wildlife, but with that comes lots of goose poop. Greens a little fast. Fun morning.

You get what you pay for

The greens fees are a bargain, but that's the only good news. This is an extremely uninteresting layout in generally poor condition, lots of puddles in the fairways (although it hadn't rained in weeks), bare patches, and so so greens. For being in such a scenic area, there isn't much to look at other than modest neighborhood houses. This might be an okay everyday course for locals on a budget, but as an out-of-towner on a buddies golf trip I was very disappointed. There are lots of better options in the vicinity.

Cost

Advertised at $17. Then the fees. $3.00. then $15 for a cart. 15,15,15for a cart?????. Then 2.00 for a bottle of water. So my 17 round cost me $37 which in itself is not bad, but when it started at $17, I probably won't be in hurry to go back. $15 for a cart is just a rip-off. Shannon OHara

Great Course

Very good layout and the course is in good shape. The greens and areas of the fairway are a little soft from all the watering but it beats the alternative. Greens rolled very well though. The only bad thing about the round was the start. I had a 7:28 tee time and the guy in the pro shop didn’t show up until after 7:30. No time to hit balls or getting things set. They did let us tee off first and we finished in under three hours.

A beautiful setting for mountain golf at less than half the price.

Mountain golf may have tough soil conditions that make it hard to have pristine conditions throughout, particularly after the heat of this summer; but this course met all of our expectations. Great weather, challenging, but fair hole design, challenging greens -particularly when it came to the pin placement, beautiful views. I cannot wait to play it a second time.

Customer Service!

Tee time was at 0720. No one showed up to open the course until 0745! 20+ people waiting to play, backed up through the first 9 holes! No sorry, no discount, no apologies! Course isn’t bad, need to fire a few people and the course will be better off!

Price is right, course is not

Price was excellent, but the course is a boring layout in mediocre condition overall. Despite drought conditions, there were overwatered and muddy spots on almost every whole. Signage was not helpful for first timers. I’m sure it’s a comfortable course for local regulars but didn’t offer much for out of towners looking for a better than average golfing experience.

A challenging, but friendly course

I was very pleasantly surprised. Great course layout, fairways and greens are in great shape and very affordable. I think it’s a great course.
