Goat Ranch

One of the worst courses, facilities, staff I’ve ever experienced in almost 50 years of playing golf. Clubhouse closed at 5:00 on a Saturday afternoon. No water available anywhere on the course. Will never play there again. Ever.

Not what it was

Nothing like it was a couple decades ago, used to be a beautiful place to play, it is now a little run down, bad cart paths, overgrown with weeds in the non playing areas, fairways and tee boxes were in pretty good shape, the greens looked pretty good but were way too slow to be able to putt well, the rough is ok on some holes and pretty bad on others. No drinking water provided on course, some holes are a long way from green to tee and there are no signs indicating what hole it is. The green fees are reasonable. It’s not a horrible place to play, but not great either, just below average.

Good Value

This course is in pretty good shape. It’s not the most creative of designs, but it was perfect for my daughter who was with me and is just taking the game up. There was some aggravation in getting from hole 3 to 4 tee box. They had a bridge out and rerouted the golfers….the problem was that there was no signage. The overall experience was a good one though.

Improved fairways & putting greens..

I was pleasantly surprised of how the fairways and the putting greens have improved, I was at the facility earlier this year, and the difference is quite obvious you're able to hit the ball without hitting dirt the fairways were cut to where you had rough you also had mild rough to make it challenging if you hit it out of the play area of the fairway. It is a decent intermediate golf course with some challenges fun to play. The staff was respectable and nice no problems there overall I rate it three and a half to four stars it was fun I would recommend it to a friend.

One of the areas best kept secrets

Everything was great. Only hassle was the bridge that got washed away between 4&5. Other than that there were a few tee boxes in need of some tlc. Overall was a great experience!

Challenging Course, Poor Pace of Play

This was our first time playing here on a beautiful day. The course was well kept and challenging however it was way over crowded. We were paired with another group of two for tee off but they didn’t show. We finally teed off 15 minutes after our scheduled time and18 holes typically takes us right at 3 hours but this round took us over four hours. We sat a lot waiting on each tee box which was incredibly frustrating. At one point we were overlooking three different holes and counted 10 carts either playing or waiting on those holes and there was no Marshall to keep groups going. For the amount of money it’s not worth the time and the frustration.

Really good course

This is a really nice course, with nice changes in elevation, trees, doglegs and other natural boundaries. A lot of the other local courses in this price range are much simpler in format which makes them less interesting as a player.

My only real complaint is between holes 5&6 where as a player you have to pay a lot of attention to not hit other players. Hole 5 has a dogleg left up a hill where if your drive goes too far right, or two far it will roll down and can almost get into the fairway for 6. The blue and white tees for 6 then have a completely blind tee down the hill where they can’t even see the fairway they’re trying to hit. What’s worse is that the bridge from 4->5 is out currently which means that players going to 5 are driving right along the end of 6’s fairway too

Nice course

The greens and fairways are in excellent shape. It was cartpath only the day we played so it was a little slow playing. Plus we followed a 5-some.

We really like the course!

Terrible Pace of Play

Round took 45 minutes over their suggested time. We tee’d off at 1:05 and ended at like 5:50-6. I wouldn’t suggest playing here unless you don’t mind waiting for every single shot.

Tall Rough

Narrow fairways with very long rough. Take a lot of balls if you don't regularly hit it in the fairway!
