Worst course ever

Not worth the money. Too pricey and they don’t even have GPS. Say it’s cause the mountain but that’s a lie as they used to. Not worth the price. Play raven

OVER-RATED

Was very disappointed in the course conditions for a course that was supposed to be top rated! A lot of unsightly sandy areas (not desert), burned out fairways and rough greens. Then they allowed 2-some, single, and another 2-some in a row, and we waited 10 mins between shots…. took forever. However, the entire staff was very nice & professional!

For the money, this course couldn’t hold a candle to Las Sendas, Whirlwind, Legend Trail, Longbow, etc. Definitely go to any of these before here! IMO

Slow play

I play this course at least two or three times a month. Really enjoy the layout and overall condition. Another beautifully maintained Troon managed course. What is frustrating is about every third round turns into five hours. Ran into a Marshall just once on hole number five and asked him what the holdup was and he said it was moving at lightning speed. 4 hours and 45 minutes later we finished. Never saw the Marshall again after the fifth hole.

Pace of play was ok. Problem was we were a 2-some playing behind a four-some that at times had 2 holes open in front of them. Overall a very enjoyable round and experience.

Pleasantly Surprised

Back. Nine more challenging, course well maintained, and enjoyed the elevated tee boxes. Carts lack GPS,, quiet location with vast desert scenery.

Bring extra balls!

Highly unusual layout that climbs the in mountain on the front nine and does a dramatic drop on the tenth hole. Resort course feel, friendly staff, overpriced. For the time of year, the course was in great shape, especially the greens. The terrain makes for some dramatic holes and winding, slanted cart paths. Bring extra balls!

Slow play

I play this course usually as much as once a week. Almost always a four hour to four hour and 15 minute round but on Monday There was a group immediately in front of us that played at a five hour pace. Called the pro shop. They did send out a ranger that asked them to pick up the pace as they were 20 minutes behind after six holes. They didn’t pick up the pace and the Ranger never showed up again over the next 3 1/2 hours. That’s unacceptable and I’ve never seen this happen on this golf course. As the Rangers are good about enforcing pace of play. Unfortunately, I have a tee time at Lookout Mountain next week, but won’t be back until this becomes a priority with the golf course. It’s time to get a little stern with people as these golf courses are packed with golfers. These people ended up being three holes behind at the end of the day.

Great Staff

The course itself was excellent but the thing that stood out was the friendliness of the staff. From starter to ranger to cart guys to food service, they were all great.

Underwhelming value

Considering the time of year, I was quite disappointed by the overall condition.

Driving range hitting tee is uneven, and was basically like hitting out of light rough.

Fairways again were not mown very low, so they were inconsistent lengths and patchy in areas.
