TCA
Course and greens are in great shape. Pace of play is ALWAYS slow here due to close tee times. Plan to wait on every hole.
Pleasant surprise
I didn't play this course for a few years because the last time I played the course condition was not good. So, I didn't expect much when I heard from a friend that he reserved a tee time at Trophy. But it was a pleasant surprise because the conditions of the course were great. The fairways were clean and greens were fast and almost spotless like a private country club.
I will play this course more often from now on. Green fee was a steal and felt like I received a big discount for a member.
Excellent Green & surprise of overall condition
It has been about 3 years since I played Trophy, and it has become from a mediocre & below average course to a challenging and great green conditioned course to really test your golf skills.
I want to go back to play the course again in the very near future.
Really enjoyable
The course is really well maintained. The greens were incredibly fast! The staff was great, check-in, starters, staff at the turn in the clubhouse, all very friendly. I will play this course again, for sure. Playing on a Saturday, the pace was really good, no major backups and we never had to wait more than a minute or so for the group in front of us.
Love this course
Great course. Very challenging and scenic. My only gripe is they have the tee times too close together so you are always waiting on the people in front of you. Also, when it’s 100 degrees outside please fill up your water stations.
Great course
Always a fun place to play. Greens are always well maintained.
Good Environment
Course in pretty good shape. Got a great price on TeeOff for late day golf but the course was overbooked as usual and towards the end of the round we were backed up. We played through one foresome and still ran up on others. Gave up on the 15th.
Slow green and long first layer
If you did not hit to the fairway, good luck finding your ball.
Discrepancy between course and online pricing.
Set up tee time reservation through GolfNow for 4 golfers. Total $351.84 and was charged $63.55 online. Got to the course to check in and was told what I paid online doesn't matter at the course. After discussion, I was supposedly given 15% off regular price. This would have brought my round to $67.99 plus tax. However, I also paid $63.55 online bringing my total cost to $135.62. One other golfer was given 15% off and the remaining two golfers who checked in later were charged full price. Why the discrepancies?
TCA
We were unaware greens were sanded. Cooler and ice only available if you buy three drinks. There was only two of us. No snacks, crackers anything edible. Snack bar closed on a Wednesday at noon????? Writers
Fairways Unplayable
Tee boxes were flat, but not in the best shape as they were sandy. Greens were in good shape but incredibly difficult. Pin placement was tough.
But the biggest issue, and the reason I don’t plan on going back, is the fairways. They are hilly and slope out of bounds. There is no rough or fringe, so it just allows the ball to roll out of bounds. Even if you hit your ball dead center, your ball will roll into the woods.
You get no reward for hitting a good tee shot, and it makes for an incredibly frustrating experience.
Great Course
Great course with well taken care of greens and fairways. The only reason it wasn't 5 stars is that is was so backed up, it took a lot of the fun out of it. Tee times were way too close together, causing major backups. We teed off about 15 min later than the actual tee time and took about 5 hours to play. I understand that the course has to make money but I woild rather pay a little more than be that backed up
Rushed Tee Time
We showed up for a 7:57 tee time I booked at 730 and was told we missed our 7:33 tee time. We paid for 18 holes and played 17 because we had to catch the 7:33 group. We asked at the end of the round what happened and we were blamed for double booking a tee time which we didn’t and we could prove that!
Then we got behind a twosome that took thier sweet time and were told they were allowed to tee off the back nine which created a slow pace of play.
We were considering becoming members but not sure at this point.
Had high hopes
First time playing the course since 2020. Course is generally the same with the only change being the front and back nines being switched. The greens were in good condition with occasional patches here and there. Fairways were playable but a few areas need attention (holes 3, 9 10, 13, 14, 18). Some tee boxes showed signs of overplay but can also use some tlc. Biggest complaint is pace of play - took 5 1/2 hours to finish 18. The 2 groups behind us got tired of waiting and decided to play as a group of 7. Maybe it will be better next time, but for now, I'll pass.
Good value and pace of play
Two driving forces we use to book tee times, value and pace of play. Pace of play being the optimal reason for playing any course for us. As long as they keep that moving we will continue to go back!
Course is in great shape. The cart paths need some attention.
Incorrect price charged
They would not honor price that was quoted to me after booking thru Golf Now. I showed them my receipt but they just said something must be wrong with your booking system. Was pretty rude about it.
