Cottonwood Golf Club - Ivanhoe Course

So to start off the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The price for a full 18 plus cart is excellent. The course has a nice layout that is not overly challenging but is great for a nice round. The tee boxes were in decent shape but a bit chewed up and due for a tee move to a new spot. Greens were good but in need of some care as they were getting scared up a bit. Always challenging this time of year is the amount of leaves that littler the course which can bud your ball or complicate your puts, brining a leaf blower could be helpful haha. The carts are getting a bit dated as ours had very loose steering but was manageable. The charge light started flashing on the 13th hole but it held up for the entire round. All in all it is a good course and I would recommend it. Now for the only negative. Because the cost to play is a bit lower there can be groups of newer players which we had in front of us and led to an almost 5 hour round. My group are not the fastest players and I remember struggling but hopefully some ready golf is practiced a bit more.

First off, minus one star to Golf Now for preemptively telling me that C-19 should have bearing on my review almost three years since the scamdemic started. I left at hole nine because the course was not being marshaled the way it should. We couldn’t even play past the group in front of us because of the group in front of them, then a patron wants to mouth off to me when I said how ridiculous the situation was.

The driving range is trashed and way too close to the course. Actually had an old gentleman tell us it used to be the 18th hole. The greens were mediocre at best without every tee box having basic amenities such as ball washers. The staff was friendly which is a huge plus but with pros simply did not outweigh the cons for me. Hopefully anyone reading this will have a better experience than I did.

Still improving. Get a new picture of Cottonwood Ivanhoe course. You are using the old Lakes course picture. Great fries. and people working there.

Based on the recent reviews we knew the course was in poor shape. It was actually a tad better than expected. We played "find actual grass" rules. Pace of play was poor, and not necessarily because the two groups of inexperienced golfers playing scramble style in front if us. On the back 9, they played as an 8-some, even though they had been told to let our twosome play through. No marshall followed up with them. The round took almost 5 hours. The cart wrangler wouldn't give us a cart 30 minutes before our tee time because they needed carts for the two groups in front on us, but then gave carts to groups after us while we were on the putting green. We didn't get a cart until less than 3 minutes before our tee time, which is a stressful way to start a round. The cart wasn't recharged (had just been turned in) so almost died on the 17th, and barely limped home.

Took the wife and kids to play and the staff all around was amazing and super supportive!!

Every hole, my team waited more than 5 minutes!!!!

Every HOLE

Friendly staff! Greens need TLC. Most patrons don't bother fixing their divots. Balls roll rough and bounce around quite a bit, perhaps management needs to keep a tag on the greens... Need to be punched and rolled. Fairways are in much better condition, also, like the fact that they brought the ball washers out, that's a plus! Would be a much improved golf course if management worked on the greens. Busy, but pace was okay without a marshall... That's a plus!

Cottonwood is showing the signs of a budget golf course during a super drought. Not in as good of condition as last year at this same time. Many bare fairways. Green areas are in better shape than the fairways. I’ll keep golfing here based on the price and layout. Hopefully the fairways come back.

Very surprised at how good the course conditions were for this value purchase. Many other courses are value but in poor condition. This was a pleasant combination

Greens were pleasantly true, but overall it is clear this is a course in decline. You can see the potential - but also the slow atrophy. Keep it in the middle of the fairway and you’ll (usually) have some grass to hit off of within a few feet - but don’t take the round too seriously. For a budget hack-about it’s fine - just don’t expect more. Would have been a nice flat walk, but no pushcarts available.

Course was in surprisingly good condition. Pacecwas good for 1st 9, then backed up a bit...ended 4+ hrs.

Pro shop staff and bar server very friendly. Hot Deal price for under $25 with a cart! - hard to find anything bad about that!

Greens were beat up from others not repairing ballmarks but still rolled well.
