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!

Green condition

Enjoyed the course; it was challenging but fun. However, the slow condition of the greens was disappointing and took the fun out of the round.

Great Course

The course was in excellent condition - tees, fairways, and greens were great. Rough was a little high on the back nine, but I guess we should be in the fairway!

The staff, both on check-in and on the course, were excellent. There were marshalls on the course, but they weren't needed, as the pace of play was normal.

Playing from the white tees I found this course difficult. It played long to me. and being in the hills made for some sidehill lies.

The course was almost in the mountains or hills, very nice. I certainly would play there again. the price was fair.

Wow

We were lucky to play before the routine maintenance 4/15-4/16. Felt like we were the only ones on the course. We decided to walk due to cart path only. Although there were lots of elevation gains and drops. The walk wasn’t that bad. The course offered a lot of variety: creative bunker placement, undulating greens, and your occasional hidden creeks. Play your yardages correctly and you’ll be rewarded. Would play here again without hesitation.
