Fun course to walk

Greens were great easy course to walk. Fairways and sand were hit and miss but this is a good course for the money no issues.

Staff is a joke

I showed up 5 minutes late to my tee time due to a literal freeway closure. They would not let us on to play. And had the audacity to send an email that they will charge the full play fee to my card. Staff was unfriendly and didn’t care about the situation. This is the last time i use golf now or play at tecolote. I will also put a stop payment before you jerks try to charge me. How in your right mind are you going to charge for use of your facilities without us using them. Both parties are an absolute joke.

Rural, rustic, quiet atmosphere 3000 yard course

Easy to lose a few balls, easy to get lost first time visiting, but there is a gentle spirit on these links with a rural restful vibe.

Great Course for the Short Game!

Pace was a little slow today and greens as well since they recently punched. Gotta do it twice a year so can't have blame about greens. Great course for the short game, only hit the big dog on 2 holes.

Very Janky

Massive sign up front stating if they catch you with a cooler it will be confiscated and you will be kicked off.

Another sign saying no caddies or walk alongs.

It’s a old beat up par 3 course... really?! Not worth the price at all.

Greens were ok, rest is a old goat track at best

Yikes.

This course has unfortunately been taken out behind the tool shed. I’ve been playing here for years as it’s great practice and keeps the irons tight, but finally after today unless there are significant improvements made I won’t play there again. Every other par 3 course in the county is in better shape and possibly cheaper at this point. Save your time and go play Mission Bay, Lomas Sante Fe Exc, Emerald Isle, or St. Mark Exc. All very similar distances, prices, and other than mission bay all fairly testing par 3 courses.

Grounds crew

Last I checked, the grounds crew usually pause doing their work while golfers are trying to play through. I understand emergencies, but that day wasn't one of them.

One of the most challenging courses

This course is by far very challenging. If you can play well here then you can play well in most others. The reason is because every hole forces you to hit straight. If the ball goes left, forget it. If the ball goes right you may have a shot. It forces you to swing staright.

First Time

First time playing the course and booked on GolfNow. Didn’t know what to expect and didn’t realize it was pretty much an executive course but greens and fringe in great shape. Nice little course located in a valley. Would definitely play again.

Fun course. The holes were short by challenging. There weren't a lot of people on the course so the play was quick until about hole 13 where we caught up to some slower players, but even then we didn't have to wait that long.

Great value

First time playing this course and was quite surprised at the value you get with this course. It gets some bad wrap and for good reason, play was a bit slow, and fairways weren’t incredible. However, the greensand surrounding fringe areas are very well kept with some awesome undulations. Will be playing this executive course very often from now on.
