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.

Read the fine print

The course was is very good shape. Fairways will taken care of, greens slow but in good condition. Purchased 4 Golf Now hot deals, missed the fine print walking rate, my bad. The gentleman working the counter had that gotcha attitude as he collected the additional $15 per player. Mind you we all drove in separate vehicles for Covid safety, he then informed us that we had to ride two to a cart for Golf Now, even though the members/locals all were getting single carts.

Good course tucked away from town

Got a great rate online ... so decided to make the drive out there to check this course out. The golf did not disappoint.

Great layout. Some holes required you to choose your clubs wisely. Fairways were in great shape. The greens were okay ... nothing special. It was a super hot day so we tried to get thru as fast as we can.

The staff were friendly and the local members were even friendlier. Would certainly love to play here when its a little cooler (and less smoky).

WHY put a five-some together? It held everybody back. When asked if we could play through - we were told no!
