Great short game tune up

This is a great place to tune up your middle / short game.

Outstanding course design and conditioning.

Although to course yardage may seem short the course will require to hit many various shaped shots from challenging distances.

Greens offer a wide variety of approach shots and. Challenges. Putts roll smooth and true.

Overall a great play.

Caddy shack restaurant. Offered good quick food.

Course staff very helpful and friendly

Fun course

Course had a lot of par threes. Only complaint was the dandelions were so bad that you couldn’t find your ball outside of the fairway. Staff was extremely friendly and I was the only one playing on the course. Scorecards weren’t very informative, but we’re sufficient.

At first I thought the course may be typical executive course, not so!!! Very interesting layout; elevation, doglegs, longer par 3’s (from the blue tees). Friendly staff and members.

Well maintained but...

The course was in great condition but, I never got above my 3h off the tee and that is only 3 holes. I'll be honest and say that I am an extremely long hitter but, the course is so "short" that almost anybody that plays it would say that it is just a longer par 3 course. Mind you, the course is extremely well maintain, it is just extremely short. I never reached for a single wood from my bag.

Aeration and sand on the greens

Aeration and sand on the greens made it tough to Putz and chip onto the greens. I have been to this course a handful of times. Due to the seasons changing they decided to aerate the greens and put sand on the greens which made it tough to chip and putt, resulting in untrue lies

Short, challenging course

Fairways were in good condition. Greens showed signs of recent aeration, which was not disclosed when we made the tee time. Greens held the approach shot, but did not roll true. Sand traps needed TLC. Course was short and tight, with water and trees lining most fairways. Yardage markers were tough to find on the cart paths, especially when paths were shared with adjacent holes.

Great course with magnificent mountain views!

There was a large group of foursomes in front of us when we arrived at the 1st tee, so the starter was very helpful in sending our twosome ahead to the 2nd tee so we could get past them. The course conditions were very good and the course was well-maintained. It was challenging but lots of fun. Can't wait to return the next time I'm in the area.

Tough test

Need a good iron game here and driver is not needed much. Accuracy will be your friend if you have it if not bring plenty of ammo.
