Memories
I began playing golf 66 years ago at Evanston Community Golf Course, now Canal Shores. Since then I’ve played many of the finest courses in the Country & UK. Served as chairman of the Western Golf Assoc. Lots of charm at CS but the conditions are disgraceful. If just the tees & greens were maintained it would make a huge difference.

Thank you for your feedback and support of Canal Shores over the years. We are very sorry you experienced difficult conditions on the course, but this year has been particularly challenging due to the severe drought. We are aware of the impacted areas on the course, and are working to upgrade the irrigation system. Please call us in the Pro Shop as we would like to offer you a pass for a future round.
Horrible place-Do Not WAste Your Money
In a word....this course sucks! It was like playing in a cow pasture. The greens were absolutely horrible; there were literally holes with no grass on just about every green, uneven and bumpy--really, really bad.
The fairways were uncut, overly dry, no attempt at all to make it look presentable. There were patches of high grass green side too that were out of place.
To make matters worse, there were no electric carts available forcing me to walk on a very warm and humid day.
I will NEVER play on this course again. Please close this course forever. It is an eyesore and doesn't deserve to be called a golf course.
Thank you for the feedback. The course has been challenged this year by unprecedented drought conditions, and we are sorry your round did not meet expectations and that a cart was unavailable for your tee time. Please contact the Pro Shop so we can address your issue.
In Terrible Shape
Don't play this course for more than $20. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are all in terrible shape. Trees need to be trimmed on half the tee boxes. Hit your ball straighter than straight, or else you're losing it.

3 - 4 Stars
The course itself is great with a nice layout. From time to time you have to wait for the neighbors to walk by which isn’t much of a bother as they are aware of the golfers as well. I think it would better if there were someone to actually fill up the water coolers on the course. We did stop at the stand by hole 9 for refreshments but they were sold out of everything by 11:30a. The course would be phenomenal if the greens were maintained far better than the state they are currently in right now.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Canal Shores Golf Course thanks you!

Thank you for playing Canal Shores Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Canal Shores Golf Course!
Happy you guys took down American flag pins. Those are pretty hard to see. A dog stole my ball while I was teeing up on 12, but that’s not your guys fault. Enjoyed my round as always!

Your money is better spent elsewhere.
With the rate for a round being what it is, you know you're not going to be playing Pebble Beach or TPC Sawgrass quality golf. Even then I still managed to be disappointed. I had hoped that the recent bad reviews were the result of players with overinflated expectations or those with exacting demands but that was most certainly not the case. As others have mentioned, the 13th green can't even be called a green in even the most charitable way. On pretty much all the holes, there isn't much in the way of a fairway, it's all just rough. The tee boxes are also pretty poorly maintained, if at all. Another thing that I noticed very quickly was that there was a trashcan at only some of the holes. Fairly minor, but it would have been a nice touch to have one at every tee box. The offerings at the halfway house weren't bad but there wasn't much variety. Overall, pretty disappointing round...not sure I'll be returning any time soon.
Thank you for the feedback on your round. With the ongoing drought, maintaining course conditions has been challenging. Regarding the 13th green specifically, we will soon be implementing a temporary green in order to attempt to regrow the green. Thank you for alerting us about the trashcans situation. Please call us at the Pro Shop as we would like to offer you a round for future play.
Greens
Fairways great especially given limited rainfall.
A few greens are in need of total rehaul, especially 13th.
A few greens were improved.
Need to trim back some trees, 8th, 10th, 13th, 4th, as it is nearly impossible to hit a tee shot.
Staff always nice.

Worst course ever
I wish I had the option to put 0 stars. Absolutely horrendous. 13th hole is literally just mud with a hole on it
Thank you for leaving us a review. We always welcome feedback for improvement. We are sorry to hear your experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you will give us another try in the future. Thank you for choosing Canal Shores Golf Course.
Don’t waste your money
This was possibly the worst golf course ever played it 30 bucks to basically walk a glorified driving range. Greens are horrible, can barely tell the difference between the fairway and rough…..I want a $25 refund because this course is worth no more than $5

Worst Greens I've Ever Seen
One green was 99% dirt. Most of the greens had large patches of cracked dirt. It was honestly shocking to see.
