Dragonfly Rules

I play Dragonfly about 10-12 times a year & always enjoy my round. Green were in great shape, firm & very fast! Fairways starting to green up with the recent sunshine. Only 2 complaints. No drinking water on Golf Course & much too slow pace of play.

Otherwise always a great experience!

Grass so thin

I don’t understand why the grass continues to b mowed when it’s about 1/8 of an inch. It’s completely just dirt around some of the greens. Ball Washers? I realize it’s winter but it’s very similar year round. No grass to chip off of. Let it Grow!!!!

Sand traps/price

I like playing this course and have played probably a hundred times. But at the price they are charging and amount of maintenance this course gets, they really need to do something about the bunkers. They literally have zero sand in most bunkers and or more pebbles vs sand. I would highly recommend adding sand in the bunkers. If the management is afraid it will just blow out, when check the weather forecast and on extreme windy days have the maintenance crew wet them so it does blow out. This is what country clubs do. Just add sand please!

Plus when maintenance is working on the greens, please have them stop, move to the side when a group is ready to go!!

Don’t use GolfNow

We did all we were suppose to to use out gift card. Website said it was paid and all was set. When we got there they had no record that we paid through GolfNow. I showed them my phone showing that it was paid, but it did not show up on their side. Extremely disappointed with GolfNow! We went ahead and paid for out round at Dragonfly Golf Club. It was a great course and will definitely go back but will never use GolfNow again!

Green conditions were a joke. Absurd price for that restriction as well

Aeration of Greens Lol Playing on 10lbs of Sand you mean on the greens. The greens weren't even puttable, this course was not worth the price. On top of that their was no notice online when making the reservation of not being able to play the whole course. We were restricted to just the back 9, didnt plan to have that and more sand on the green to putt through than all the bunkers had in them. Maybe sometime this course is worth the price but I would have had better value at any other course in the valley.

Visiting

Always enjoy playing here. Unfortunately on arrival finding the back nine closed for repairs was disappointing. The pace of play became an issue, horrible slow. Packed it up and left. Hopefully next visit will be better. Darn shame as the course is great

Great Day @ The Fly

Had fun playing Dragonfly as always. Greens running slower than usual & bunkers on course need some work & too many rocks in Sand.

Pace of play is always an issue and needs to be addressed.
