Cottonwood GC consistently delivers strong value with well-maintained fairways, true-rolling greens, and an undulating layout that challenges shot control. The exceptionally friendly staff makes every round welcoming for both regulars and first-time visitors.

Enjoyed the round of golf immensely teed off early and got out of there before it was too hot. Course is in really good shape greens are receptive, maybe a tad slow. Will definitely be back

My cart died

As we’re finishing up our 12th hole the cart was going slow and started kicking back and had trouble going uphill. We waited 30 minutes for our cart in the first place. If they get more carts the experience could be improved

Foursome? How about a Tensome!

It had been 7 years since I played a round of golf, so maybe I've missed some changes in etiquette and protocol, but when is it ok for a group of 10 to play together?

I was in a twosome and we eventually caught up to a group of 7. They let us play through, but shortly there after we caught up to a foursome who was stuck behind 10 people playing together.

And it sounded like there were additional large groups ahead of them!

The marshal drove around and asked how we were doing, and we pointed out the slow pace due to these groups. He just kept on driving after that.

Funny thing is, we get to the 18th tee (a par 3) and the group ahead of us was down to 7. We walked up to the tee box to check our distance, and the marshal drove by and told everyone we would have to split up and play in groups of 4! He tries to get everyone to split up into 4's when we were on the 18th?

Horrible management at Cottonwood. It's a shame :(
