Fairways need work. Yardage markers non existents. Greens are in good shape. Layout is good.
Play it now
With multiple inches of rain this winter, the course is really green. It's a thinking player's layout and there are plenty of scoring chances. Play it now before the heat takes a toll.
Thanks for the great feedback, Rick1633748! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the lush conditions and the strategic layout. We appreciate your recommendations and hope to see you back on the course soon, especially before the summer heat sets in!
Great weather
We had a great time and it started with the starter. He arranged our start among twosomes so we weren’t crowded or rushed and they weren’t standing waiting for us. Very good group of guys.
Thanks for the wonderful feedback! We're glad to hear you had a great experience and that our starter helped set the right pace for your game. We appreciate your support and hope to see you back on the course soon!
Clean It Up
Very disappointing round at Cottonwood yesterday. The tee boxes were like hitting from the rough and they were uneven and just flat out trashy. The course conditions were the same. The ONLY credit I will give them is their greens are pretty much all well kept except for a couple of holes. Overall, I would have rather paid $10 more and played a much better course. Sad because this place used to be extremely well kept once upon a time.
We appreciate your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand your frustration. We're actively working on improvements to the course conditions and value your input as we strive to enhance our offerings. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
Great Day at Cottonwood
My husband and I played here on Valentines Day, a few years ago, and honestly compared to the last time I played here over a year ago when the fairways and tee boxss were a mess, our round on 2/14 was amazing. We played a fun round. The pace was good. Everyone was friendly The fairways were in good shape. We had a great time! .
We’re thrilled to hear you had a fantastic experience on Valentine’s Day! It’s great to know the improvements made a difference. Thank you for your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you both back for another enjoyable round!
Cottonwood
Course was in good condition. They were short of golf carts so part of our group walked. Each tee box had 3 groups, one on the tee box and two groups waiting to tee off. We were only able to get 9 holes in before dusk due to slow play but paid for 18.
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you found the course in good condition. We apologize for the issues with cart availability and slow play, and we’re actively working on improving these experiences for our guests. Your input is invaluable to us.
Golf at reasonable Rate
For the price Cottonwood offers a great golf experience. Fairways are green and cut well, reasonable rough, however off the first cut can be a little dicey. Undulation on the course gives some unique challenges. Greens rolled true and if hit right held nicely. A relatively flat course to walk with some challenges to test your ability to control your shots.
Thanks for the thoughtful review, Jamie Schlosser! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your experience and found the course both challenging and well-maintained. Your feedback on the rough and greens is appreciated, and we hope to see you back on the course soon for more great rounds!
Not worth the money
This course has to be one of the worst courses I have ever played. The driving range was terrible, the mats look like they were taken out of a dumpster. The tee boxes are terrible and need a lot of care. The fairways are terrible and the greens are not much better. The owner needs to put some money into this course.
Fairways were good, but not the greens.
The course itself was decent but a little funky. It felt cheep based on the carts being old (no ball washer, no gps, cooler on cart didn’t have ice), random broken net dividing a hole, raggedy ball washers, and lumpy greens. The course was super tight with oncoming fairways, and a driving range that was a dirt lot hitting towards player coming in from the 8th hole. This is definitely a locals course for the “just wanna get out and play” type rounds, but that comes with its delays as it took 2:45 for 9 holes.
Rain has course in great shape
Fairways and tee boxes were good. It's a fun layout and the upcoming Xmas deluge should keep it going thru January.
Favorite course in East County
Love you guys. Play all the time. Congrats on the W against the developers. Please never change too much. Thank you for the value.
Visiting from out of town
We were visiting from out of town, and found Cottonwood on GN. The only positives for the course were the quality of the greens and the friendliness of the staff. Unfortunately, the tee boxes, fairways, sand traps, and driving range are in rough shape. Save your money and go somewhere else unless they put some money into fixing this course back up.
Seems it used to be nice back in the day
This course seemed like it used to be really nice back in the day. Ran into a lot of dirt patches on more than half of the fairways and about a third of the tee boxes needed a lot of work (really torn up). Driving range, I really wouldn’t even call it that, was in shambles. The bright spot was the greens were great, the staff that checked me in and the cart girl were very very nice and pleasant. Food was good with great deals. Pace of play was ok, 4 ½ hour round with groups in front of us. Awesome staff just wish the grounds folks shared the same enthusiasm.
Thank you for your feedback, No3Putting. We appreciate your insights and are glad you enjoyed our staff and food. We're committed to improving the course conditions and will share your comments with our grounds team to enhance the overall experience for our guests.
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your insights on the fairways and yardage markers. It's great to hear you enjoyed the greens and layout. We're always working to improve and will take your comments into consideration for future enhancements.
