I Recommend This Course
Believe the Positive Reviews!
After seeing good reviews, I decided to book a round at Manitou Passage. The course design, layout, and condition all exceeded my expectations. The course is a good challenge, but is fair. The greens rolled nice, but do also have slopes that can lead to some 3 putts. There are some big elevation changes on several holes, which only adds to the aesthetic of the course. Another plus we had was playing with the trees having some great fall color!
The carts do have good GPS systems on them. Another nice amenity is the clubhouse which is very nice and has some outside seating with a nice view of the course. It is not a very large clubhouse, so could get filled up when busy. Being an Arnold Palmer designed course, they have various things posted throughout the clubhouse about Arnie and the development of the course.
I highly recommend playing Manitou Passage if you get the chance. I certainly look forward to playing it again when I am back in the area!
