It’s name is properly suited

Fun coarse if you’re hitting it well but there’s plenty of trouble if not. Fun layout with lots of great sight lines when on the highest points of the course. I was actually surprised with the conditions with how dry it has been around here. Well done Gopher Hills.

Good Value

Pace of play was poor as there were some fivesomes ahead of us and no ranger on duty monitoring pace of play. This was unusual as one of the reasons we golf at Gopher Hills is the good pace of play.

Course Layout makes for a fun game!

Golf Course is good shape, grass was a bit long and the golf carts the last two times had issues that made it hard to park for some areas on the course.

Alright course to play

Little bit of a drive to play for us. Try and get down to course to play once a year if can't find another course to play for the day. Not our favorite but ok to play

Fun course, nice people. It's got some tricky holes that if you have not played it before will be a challenge. I will for sure come back.
