Signs - layout

The course needs more signs it is rather confusing going from place to place.

The Roseau from place to place is very confusing and not completely from place to place.

I liked the fairways and especially the greens were fast - I would like the greens to be faster.

Overall course was in pretty good condition. Greens were a little hit and miss. Considering it was a holiday weekend, pace was really good.

beautiful course

Friendly staff and the Fairways look amazing. The greens are bent grass so one tap and ball rolls. I saw no flaws, and they also have new carts too. If they had 6 stars I would but I have played in most of the course in San Diego and this one by far is awesome. Lots of trees!!!!

Great conditions.

Course is in great shape. Pace of play was mediocre. There were only 2 of us and got stuck behind a foursome with no other room to go. Definitely will continue to play here. Great time!

Great Course

Course was well maintained, pace of play was relatively fast considering a Friday afternoon. Would replay course over many local courses. However, does not have adequate driving range.

Good for the money

I like Cottonwood it is not super easy, mainly because of the trees. The greens are good and the pace of play is good every to me I have played. The bad is there are no ball washers, rakes in the sand traps or restrooms on course. This might be because of COVID not sure. It is a good value especially for the area with Sining Hills $149 with a cart on the weekend. Because of the value it can be tough to get on.

Thank you for leaving a review. Yes, the absence of the items you have listed is due to COVID. We hope to have those back on the golf course sometime in the future.
