Good local course.

Shady Oaks is a challenging course with tight fairways. The crew does a great job keeping it in overall good shape. Greens get a little less than beautiful as the year progresses, but most courses share this problem. I’d say golfers need to be more aware of things they can control…replace divots, throw broken tees away and fix ball marks should be pretty standard things! Help keep the course in good shape, don’t just visit and leave a mess in your path.

Shady Oaks Sublette

It is a scenic course with plenty of trees and a couple challenging holes. I like the staff and other golfers are polite and friendly. I'm not a member anywhere, but this is one of the local courses I really enjoy.

Hidden Gem

Not super long. Kept my wife’s interest with the shorter women’s tees that are also in good shape. Small but challenging greens. Easy to find your ball cuz the fairways are cleaned off. Nice variety of holes
