Classic course
The staff friendliness is the best you could expect from a public course.
The course was in decent shape.
The value here can't be beat.
Great value!
You want an onsite 5 star restaurant? Go somewhere else
You want a complete full Driving range? Go somewhere else.
You want a GPS on your golf cart? Go somewhere else.
You want to walk or ride a nice 18 hole challenging course and not pay $60, $70, $80 or more then play here. Great value for the money. We’ll be back soon!
That's wonderful to hear. Thanks so much for leaving us a review. Hope to see you again in the near future!
False picture on internet
Got to be a lot of either fake reviews or bought reviews Lets start with the picture you see on line from a golf course that's been closed for years the condition of this course is so bad form them to charge more then 30.00 with a cart to play here is criminal Very nice staff everyone always seems to be in a good mood
Thank you for letting us know, and we apologize for the experience you had. Unfortunately, we are unable to edit the photos on GolfPass.
New owner should be ashamed
I get it you bought the place to dig it up and build house's since that's not gonna happen how about fixing the place up a little maybe even reopen the lakes make the lake really nice and charge a premium to play it were in San Diego can you find an island hole ? anyway it's to bad they course is in this condition now I know why they call you the GRIM Ripper of golf courses
We apologize for not meeting your expectations, but appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. Your feedback has been relayed to our team.
Cottonwood
Excellent value for the money
The greens were bumpy however
Thanks for the review. See you soon!
Beware of the Frost
Frost delay pushed out 12:22 tee time out to 1pm. Only got to hole 15 before full darkness at 15. Thought the pace would be faster given the delay. It happens. I’ll be back in the warmer months.
Thank you for the feedback. We will share this with the rest of the team. Hope to see you back in the warmer months!
Best Muni in SD
Agree that anyone who writes a bad review of this place has no appreciation of good value. One can walk this championship golf course for under $30 and finish. Unheard of in a place like SD. Greens have been rolling great since the brief closing during C19. Totally disagree with the reviewer stating they r bumpy. I can afford to bring my kids to this place and get in an old school legit round of golf. Cottonwood used to be the Monday qualifier for The Buick which is now The Farmers. Not surpirsed college golf is being played here. Great to hear. The driver can be used on almost every par 4 if you want to as there are essentially no gimmicky holes. Would prefer a great course with average off course amenties to keep the price down all day every day. Thank you Cottonwood. Lucky to have you in SD.
We appreciate the positive feedback. It means a lot. Hope to see you again soon!
Greens need TLC
The greens are are always somewhat challenging, all greens are lacking aeration, something management needs to probably address... They've been like this for quite sometime now that I have noticed! Most of your putts will bounce allover the greens. I also noticed on this day that there were some collegiate golf taking place here, and all were walking! I don't know how often this happens here maybe it was just a one time ordeal, but they slow the heck out of the pace for everyone else, and tensions were running a little high amongst golfers! Pace is usually pretty decent, but not on this day! At few times we even got to see as many as 8 to 12 players on the green. MARSHALLLLLL????
Thank you for the feedback. We’re sorry your experience wasn’t the best it could be. We will share this with the rest of the team.
Best condition in years
Course shows signs of actual maintenance, but there are still many items which need attention.
Thank you for the constructive criticism, and sorry we couldn’t make it a 5 star experience. We’ll use this as a learning experience as to how we can improve.
Pace of play
It was really bad pace if play due to drunken guys and loud speakers on the in front of us.I couldn't funish my round but also no marshalls are managed them.
Thank you for the feedback. We’ll use this as a learning experience as to how we can improve.
Employees
The entire staff at Cottonwood is friendly & very accommodating!
Thank you for your review. Have a wonderful day!
Fun time
I don’t understand why people give this course a bad review, what more are you expecting at this price point? , have y’all played some of the other courses around town that are way more $$$ This is a fun course with nice greens, yeah there’s a few crap spots here and there but not really horrible like some places. I’ve been playing here off and on for years, it’s worth it every time
We're so glad you had a great experience. Have a wonderful day!
