Tough but Fair

This course is in great shape. It is well kept and a tough challenge even from the White tees. Very long but fair. It was a great test of position, club selection and a good eye for slope in the greens if your out of position on the dance floor! This course was very enjoyable. Your foursome match met it's match! Well worth the drive to play and will do it again soon!

Four of us played the course Sept 23rd. We forgot to inquire about when and if they had punched the Greens. They had punched them not to long before, but we all understood it's all part of maintenance. The Greens were about a 5 on the stimpmeter though and a couple of the greens had stones the size of BB's ALK over it, not the usual sand as it's suppose to be.

The course was in decent shape overall and I've sand traps were decent as well. The grass around the greens was very sparse many places, so you found yourself chipping off of hardpan.

For the price, it was ok. Probably won't go back but it was a fairly decent experience otherwise.

I would rate it a 2 1/2 or 3.

Today's pace of play is great. The last time I played it was very slow and the marshalls did not help pushing for the faster pace.

Mixed Feelings.......nice course but bad operations.

I have played this course 6 times over the last 6 months. The course itself is 4 stars. The best part of this course is how good the greens are ....really true roll, and maintained very well. The rest of the course isn't bad....I would give it an "above average" rating, which means its not horrible but the rough could benefit from some mowing. Felt like the US Open. The course is fairly narrow and has some doglegs that require accurate drives. Other than that, its a pretty flat course that is walkable if you choose to walk. The carts are fairly new as well. The issue I have is with how the tee times are managed. This place can be brutally slow some times, or what seems like overbooked. The last round we played, we were behind two different 5-somes, who were behind a slow 4-some. I couldnt see any further than that, so I really don't know which group was holding up play. We had to wait 5-10 minutes on every single tee box after hole # 2. Got to the point where we just gave up on 11 and played the front 9 again. There were no marshalls and no staff even helping to speed up play. In fact, I think there were only 2 people working in the proshop and 1 cart return person. Its really a bare bones situation. The previous time we played, there was a tournament and the pro shop let the non-tournament golfers start on the 10th tee in the morning. When I teed up at 11am, I was told to go to the #1 tee, since all the tournament golfers had teed off, but there were the non-tournament people finishing the 18th hold that now needed to play their second 9, so there was this huge log jam on the 1st tee, with 3 or 4 groups all at once with no direction or announcement from the pro shop on who was next on the tee. Overall, this place can be a joy to play or a huge frustration.....so check this place out, but beware of how unorganized it can be. This course rewards good shots and penalizes bad ones, so overall its a fair course. I give the COURSE a 4 Star Rating, but Service / Management / Operations gets only 2 stars......overall, its a 3 star place to play.

Fun Course to Play

This was the first time I've played this course and found it to be in great shape. Most holes were fair but at times challenging and a little course knowledge would have helped. We played during the week on a day their calendar was noted as Open Play. Looks like they have several groups/clubs that play other days so it would be best to check before you book. I will definitely play Elkhorn again.

Painful

Teed off at 810 on a Sunday Morning, thought we would be done by noon. Well we finished up at 230. Will not go back on a weekend. Too many weekend warriors. Not that it has anything to do with the course, but we were paired with a couple guys who obviously don't get out much and the drinking started at the first tee and by the turn, they were loud, obnoxious and just plain annoying. It was a bummer, the course was in good shape but most greens had been beating up from the weekend warriors who don't know to or how to repair ball marks. I'll have to go back during the week and play again before I could recommend it.

Disappointing

Boring course layout with most holes straight away. Rough was not cut in what looked like an extremely long time which made it difficult and even unfair trying to find your ball. Driving range was mats and irons only. No cart girl on Monday. Tiny putting green by #1 hole. The fairwarys and greens were good. Would not play this course again unless it was $10 with a cart for 18 holes.

Play Elkhorn Golf Course ASAP

Play here and you will have fun. The course is not long but has many hole that play long or longer than they look. Awesome greens, the front pins are death. You want middle of greens and sideways putts to be aggressive as they turn towards hole and move quick, or putts from front of green up to middle or back. Word around town is these are the old Olympic Club Greens.
Overall a good design and use of land.

Really like the greens here.

Nice course

Keep the ball in play here. The greens were in nice condition but a little soft and because of this there is quite a bit of damage from ball marks. The trees have been trimmed nicely and the course was in overall good condition.

Challenging golf

It is a narrow golf course with sloppy greens. If you can drive straight of the tee, then you can take on the course with ease.

challenging but fun

The greens were aerated on Monday September 21st, so they were a little bumpy, but the green fee was discounted about 50%. Course is otherwise in very good shape. Pace of play was excellent, we played as a 2-some riding and finished in just over 3 hours. Premium for putting the ball in the fairway off the tee as several holes are tree-lined, and has 6 long par fours.
