Challenging, but fun to play

Course was good but not great. Several greens have dead spots. Tee boxes were inconsistent and the fairways were a bit too long. This is a great layout and the staff are excellent. Hopefully, just an off period for conditions. One of my favorites in the area!

Greens, fairways are upgraded since last playing here approx 4 months ago. Staff always friendly

Sadly this course has seen better days. The greens looked like they hadn’t been cut in a week. They were so shaggy it took until after noon for all the moisture to evaporate off. There were random dead spots on many of the greens. Several of the tee boxes were in poor shape and the fairways and rough were intermittently long and unkempt or dry and dead.

This course used to be one of my favorite tracks. It has such a great layout. I’m hopeful they’re just temporarily short staffed and will eventually get the conditions under control again.

Nice round. Super pace. Friendly staff as always.
Greens and much of the turf was not up to CO Standards, however.
Hope conditions improve before our Oct. 9 event.

Sat down in the restaurant daughter a hotdog and fries and we’re told we couldn’t get that there we had to go to the snack shack I would think if you’re in the restaurant you can order hot dog

If you are a single to not expect to be waived through. The locals here today not care one bit. It is so disrespectful I can’t even put it into words.

I really would have enjoyed it more if there was drinking water on the course and if Golf Moose discounts weren't restricted to after noon times. Other than those two things it is a lovely golf experience. Nice facilities, driving range with free range balls provided, putting area all centrally located. Course starter is friendly and right at the first hole. Carts are clean with small ice chests for your drinks on the carts. Challenging layout and greens, but not so challenging as to be frustrating for the casual golfer. We paid full price since it was a humid weekend and we did not wish to wait until after noon to play.

I was stuck in traffic so I called the pro shop. The gentleman said we’ll figure it out just drive safely. That says tons to me. Then I went in at the turn to get something and he referred to me as Mr. he remembered me which I think says tons. The course is great. There were a couple spots where it must be a drainage because it was really wet and muddy. Otherwise I’ll continue to drive an hour to play there.

I’ve played this course maybe 15+ times. And I will say I use to like making the drive from Elk Grove to ione. Today (8/15/21) the course was in HORRIBLE shape. The greens were covered in machine cuts, rott, and looked like the divots haven’t been repaired in at least a week. The cups were clearly not moved for a extended period of time as the rims were destroyed and overused. The course was flooded, bunkers were littered with golf ball size rocks that will destroy you clubs, not a Marshall in sight as the pace was 5 hours for 18. The tee box grass was longer than the fairways, the greens were so overgrown, one had thick crab grass, the rolls were as slow as a snail. Don’t see myself spending my money here again anytime soon if these major issues aren’t resolved. Charging $62 for a round and having the condition be this bad on a Sunday morning 7am Tee time is completely unacceptable.

First time to play this excellent course. Played with my sons and wife and had an enjoyable time on this well maintained course
