Cottonwood Golf Club - Ivanhoe Course

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!

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

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

Excellent value for the money

The greens were bumpy however

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.

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.

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????

Course shows signs of actual maintenance, but there are still many items which need attention.

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.

The entire staff at Cottonwood is friendly & very accommodating!

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

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.
