Not good

Course was in reallyyyyy rough shape. Heat has done a number to it. The round took about six hours and I saw maybe six different marshals who would not enforce the pace of play. Marshals drove up and yelled at me for parking on dirt just off of the cart path, despite almost everything being dead. Carts and clubhouse were really nice though, only plus. Also, no cart girl at all…

Fun mountain course

I would normally give the course conditions a higher rating, but the darn heat spell has done a job on the greens. Also they are in the middle of a big solar project so the driving range is limited and parking a bit challenging.

In poor shape

Hello,

I was very excited to play this course given the location and the weather. However, the greens were in terrible shape, burn marks and deer damage on every hole. The tees were not taken care of at all and most needed to be mowed and weeded.

It looks like the course is in heavy need of capital to fund improvements.

Great place to play during the summer.

The course was in great shape considering the two weeks of a heat wave. Some dry spots but much of the course was in good shape.

So Slow Poor Greens and Bunkers

First of all we love playing this course. Somethings happened to the greens. The Bunkers were awful, I'd hit the ground immediately. No sand! The Marshall was running past us all day, saying everything is fine. On 10 tee I saw him again and told him it took 2 1/2 hours to play the front 9. The back 9 was no different, a long day and no reason for it! The Marshall needed to move people along.

I agree with everything you said, we also love this course. But, pace of play has been awful, the Marshall just says everything is fine? The bunkers are awful, no sand, and maybe the heat got to the greens.

Great course

One of my favorite courses. Would’ve given it all 5 stars if they had sand in the bunkers instead of dirt.

Beautiful Setting

I love the nostalgia of a once private course now pubic in the picturesque foothills. Panoramic views of the 1st and 9th fairways and 18th green from the dinning area that expands out to a large outdoor deck reminiscent of a ski lodge looking out at the slopes(fairways and greens in this case). Not too many flat fairways as your hitting tee shots up or down slope. Greens were in good condition, ran true to line and not slow. Only negative was the short driving range you could not warm up the driver. Value was outstanding considering I was able to get a hot deal on gn on a Sunday when most other courses are asking almost $80 on weekends. Overall, good time and look forward to playing again!
