Bounce around
GREENS need to be aerated seeded and rolled.
Get ready to watch your golf balls to bounce like Mexican jumping beans. Probably reason why most players don't bother repairing their divots. Fairway grass is being cut too short in most areas but fairly playable.

Overall good value! Without the wet carts…
Overall the course is good for the money. Any more expensive and it wouldn’t be worth it.
Seems like the pace of play is always slower comparatively to other courses in the area.
Hot dogs are delicious, and they have Negra Modelo on tap, which is nice for when you need a break. Breakfast burrito in the morning was good as well.
Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in decent shape, with some tricky shots due to trees and slopes, which makes it challenging.
Golf carts were wet from overnight condensation, and weren’t wiped down when we picked up our cart. They were dripping water on us, which is annoying, so we took our own towels and wiped down. Wipe down your carts in the morning Cottonwood!
Overall a good course of play, and good chow. Will always be a local option for me. Good value, for what you get.

Cottonwood is a fine value.
Cottonwood is a great value and a good test for an average golfer. Bare bones. But that's ok.

Fun at Cottonwood
I have played Cottonwood several times this year. Greens, First Cut and Sand Traps are good. Fairways, like most in SD County, are decent. Clubhouse could use a facelift. I will return again.
