4 hour round

Cart path only. Winter rye is pretty grown in. A little wet in places but great greens and good bunkers.

Awesome as always

Pace was a bit slow, that’s on the players not the course. Tees, Fairways and all Greens were solid.

Starter needs to get a clue

Not normally one to review but I do enjoy playing here but when you show up to the first tee and the starter gives your time away it kind of ruins your day….and that’s what happened. Stater gave my time away and then treated me like he did nothing…guys in the shop were friendly and confused even offering to pay for my next round. Unfortunately I won’t be back. Hire better people!!

Awesome!

This course was amazing! A great course and the value on my tee time was outstanding! Considering the cost of a membership here, this deal could not be beat. The only reason conditions aren’t 5 stars is the time of year. It’s in peak overseed time and it’s still incredibly maintained! Absolutely worth it!

Overpriced

Nice course but not worth $200. Crabgrass all over. Greens were decent.

Really nice.

Great views with the mountains in the background. Very playable course. Not terribly long but did use most all the clubs in our bag. Condition was as good as I’ve played on. Really smooth greens with good speed. Pace of play for us was awesome as not many other patrons on this day. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Would play again.
