Awesome layout and great greens!

The course is in perfect shape. Greens are awesome. Rough was challenging but very playable. Staff was very pleasant and beverage cart girl had great selection of drinks. Great staff inside at the bar, and great atmosphere Highly recommend this course! Will play it again a few more times this summer!

Great golf course!

We enjoyed our round of golf so much that we are playing it again in three days. The fairways were a pleasure to hit from!

Watch out for errant range balls!

We had a great time at The Crown - until the 17th hole. The course is fun and well-maintained, and the layout is enjoyable. Shout out to the friendly bar and kitchen staff who added to the good vibes.

Unfortunately, our round took a turn when multiple balls came flying over our heads while we were playing the 17th. One struck a member of our group in the leg. We were unable to finish the hole due to the clear safety hazard. When we called out to the people on the range to be more careful, their response was, “You’re on a golf course, this should be expected.” Congrats on the players nuking drivers over the trees, but there needs to be safety measures in place.

What made the situation worse was the lack of response from the pro shop staff and unapologetic ranger. Instead of expressing concern or taking steps to address the safety issue, they seemed more bothered that we raised our voices than the fact that someone was hit by a golf ball. Player safety should come first, and on this day, it clearly wasn’t.

This incident ruined what had been an excellent day. Unless the course takes meaningful steps to prioritize safety—especially with how dangerously close the range is to the 17th—I'd recommend playing elsewhere. Or, wear a helmet.

Please do better.

Awesome course

Front nine was awesome but the back nine was incredible. Very challenging. We learned alot from our first time playing the course. We look forward to playing it again.

Just didn’t turn us on, one and done

My wife and I were not really impressed with this course. It’s not Ben grass and of course there’s 1 million condos but there’s no measurements to tell you how far you are from the hole a simple 150 white steak would be perfect and wouldn’t cost much.. Of course, was just rated with big plug holes on the green so of course they did not roll through true. We only paid $57 for the two of us on GolfNow so honestly that’s all we felt it was worth. I can’t understand pain 50 6070 bucks or whatever they charge here. I gotta give them credit. They were working hard on the course their aeration machine was going full tilt and Dave. The nice older gentleman. Cleaning carts was a real nice guy and the two young men in the clubhouse were also nice young gentleman but unfortunately I just compared it to Sundance that Agaming we just played today October 22 Tuesday and that was night and day difference and we only paid $74 for the two of us with our golf pass points and what not so I would not play that course again or highly recommend it to anybody too many other courses closer to home

Warm fall round

Beautiful fall warm day. Course was in great condition. Need to have a quick halfway house to grab a dog and drinks at the turn quickly. Beverage cart was on course but no food only drinks.

Not your ordinary golf course

I've played here I would give it a full 5 stars e probably 10 times in the last 10 years. I love the layout as the front is relatively easy, which then prepares you for the difficult back with lots and lots and lots of hills and elevation changes. Both sides are immaculately maintained. The greens are extremely challenging. I call it "hit and hope for the best." I would give it 5 stars except the cost of the alcohol is way overpriced - even at The Bear I paid less.
