Classic old course style.. good variety

Enjoyed our day at this course I've played in years past. Sure, there are some rough patches but it was in better condition OVERALL than any time I've played it in previous years. Sand traps were surprising very good. It was nice the starter wasn't trying to jam people out too quickly. He let the previous group get WELL ahead. That saved the normal long, long wait on #2 tee. I'll be back...

Poor excuse

45 minutes behind on tee times, counter staff spent ten minutes with each customer telling them how bad GolfNow is and why they shouldn’t be booking with them. Truly Horrible. Course conditions look like nobody cares, bald spots. Mud patches. Paid for 18 and only got to play nine.

course condition

I was VERY disappointed in the course conditions. Either fairway was soaking wet or dry and hard. Lots of dirt and VERY hard dirt.

Golfed 8 yrs ago was impressed with course. lots of dead and overgrown trees on course. Ball cleaners were dry.

VERY disappointed for the amount we paid.

No evidence that new resort has or is doing any improvements.

Don’t waste your money!

The condition of this course is very poor. More dead grass and dirt than anything else. We paid $70 per person and that was a Hot Deal I can’t imagine paying more! This course is more like a Hot Mess than anything else. We stopped after 9 holes and requested a refund which we were denied.

Over priced/ nothing special

Fairways and greens were taken care of well enough.

But for the price, Dessert Sands is a much better option for a better price. I most likely would/will not play here again.

The new? Golden Hills Golf Course

This course is good for beginners. In the last couple of years I golfed here a couple times hoping each time it would get a little better but, even with the new owners, it's not. Tee boxes and greens are actually pretty good but the fairways are terrible. All dirt, hardly no grass. Watering won't help. Should be scalped and replanted. With the new quick grow grass they have for golf courses now-a-days it would grow back pretty quick.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

All employees I encountered were very courteous and helpful. The greens are a little above average.

However the condition of the fairways and rough is awful. Very little green grass, and much bare ground.

I think the course layout is great but I hope you can bolster your maintenance efforts. I may return in 2-3 months and re-evaluate. I wish you the best.

Over priced

Greens were good; tee boxes not cut and tons of divots. Fairways were horrible. Had to move my ball after hitting. The fairway to find a patch of grass to hit off of.
