Cotton wood Golf course

The course itself was alright, some hole were in good condition and difficult, but others are very different to the rest and unfriendly. Have a joke of a driving range but if you know how to play golf it’s not a bad golf course.

They want your money that's it

Booked Tee time on line with Golf Now before 10:00 am. My T time 1:07. The starter was letting people go out with out T times in front of me. They weren't wearing golf attire close. & didn't have glubs. He told me he didn't care if I wanted to go get my money back go see the person inside. He said sorry & it would take three working days to get it back. The director of operations is Shantel Nemeck. I should call & see if this is how the Course is ran now.

Very good conditions

Course in great shape except for the mounded gofer holes, and, broken-brushless-empty ball washers. BUT - NEW (not even second hand) carts.

Needs Better Course Maintenance

Fairways and bunkers poorly maintained. Greens are okay. Good to play only if you can get a cheap or discounted rate.

No notification of punched greens

Play here on the regular. There was no notification from staff or golf now that the greens were just punched. Should have told us up front and/or discounted green fees.

Warning

I was so disappointed when I saw the course was being punched and sanded and no warning was given when I made my reservation. Our only option was to play the front nine twice.

Greens punched, told to play front 9 twice oh, and don’t bother trying to order food at the turn ‘cause grill is closed

Not my first round here, but definitely my last!! It’s not that unusual to be told after you book a T time that their punching the greens, but to find out that once I check in to find out that I have to play the front nine twice, that they reserved that the back nine for some high school golf team. Oh, and by the way the snack shack is only serving hot dogs. This place was a complete waste of time and and money and I’ll likely never return

An affordable course with decent layout and greens despite the many potholes

This is a decent course in general with its nice fairways and greens despite the many many potholes on the so-called cart path that you’d have to navigate and endure. No complaint given the affordable green fees
