Hot Deal only

I have played Villa Olivia twice this year. Both rounds were $27 on a hot deal for 18 holes with a cart. The tee boxes are in rough shape and the course holds a lot of water. Greens are really slow. Rough is very unkempt, lost a tee shot that i saw land. Starter was amazing and let me go out solo 30 minutes early. I use it instead of the driving range for a quick 18 when I have a day off midweek.

Course was good but the pro-shop had ice cream bowls on the ledge with fly's as well as garbage in and around the office area. A quick check by the office staff would have found these issues

Above average municipal course

This course is challenging for the length. Everyone was very nice and we never waited on a hole. I would say the tee boxes could use some work along with some of the greens but I was pleasantly surprised with the round

Good bang for the buck

It’s not pebble beach but it played nice. Twilight rate was great and pace of play was nice. Course upkeep was an 8/10 but again I feel like I got more than I paid for.

Nice to play somewhere a bit different

Overall great time playing here, very interesting course, and I mean that in a good way. It doubles as a skiing facility during the winter (who skis around here?!?! Go to Breckinridge) and the course is laid out around the hills that one would ski on in the winter. You have a lot of elevation change, something we don’t get around here much. The greens were well manicured, the ranger was friendly as heck and would give us pointers on how the course plays. One knock on them… the golf carts were in a pretty sorry state. The parking brake was difficult to get to work; the cart belonging to the twosome I was paired with careened down a hill with no one in it at one point… all was fine, didn’t roll or anything, and it was hilarious, but come on.

Cheap rate on a weekend. Go play here

Pasture Golf

Course was in poor condition. Fairways mowed to short. Rough is out of control long, even around the green. Grass on tee boxes was sparse. There has been some rain recently but I played a few miles away ln pristine conditions for 7 dollar's more. I suggest you find a golf course and play elsewhere.

Nice course

Course is in good condition. Fairways and greens well maintained tee boxes a bit rough. The layout of the course is nice with distance between green and tee. Price is very reasonable.
