Needs Alot of TLC

Course was in dire need of some new grass on tees and fairways. Weekend pace of play was slow waiting close to 10 mins each tee. Range was in good shape but that's about it.

Worst par 3 course in SD

Gopher hole fairways, all dirt no grass.. golf cart were dirty , torn seats, discussing, even though covid protocol was enforced, to the point where my wife riding along had to pay ful green fees to ride. Played mission bay the next day, great conditions, staff, fairways, green were excellent. Not going to return to Tecolote again.

Short Course

3-4 Par 4’s and a ton of Par 3s. A lot like Mission Hills but in better condition. Not many opportunities to drive, but it was still a nice little course. Paid $25, which wasn’t too bad, but I wish the course was in better condition for that price.

Solid

Course is pretty well maintained. The fairways are quite narrow and unforgiving, just a little to the right or left and you need a new ball, but overall pretty fun.

Great

So far one of my favorite courses in SD, the conditions could be better but the greens were smooth. The layout and elevation were awesome.

Wet weather
Walked

This is an old course, so don't expect any modern amenities. The yardage isn't well marked. It is a very short course, but fun. The greens and areas around the greens are lush, the rest of the course is barren. 14 holes are par three so they are in good condition if you hit the ball on or near green. On the par 4 holes the fairway is very sparse, so expect a poor lie. The "sand" traps could be more accurately described as dirt traps, but they are soft enough to be playable. I have played this course many times over the last 35 years, my comment for improvement would be to trim back the trees on the 11th hole so that you have some idea about where to aim if you haven't played the course before.
