Disappointed in the conditions of the course.

Amazing course layout. You'll enjoy it.

However, I was disappointed in the conditions and the Mickey Mouse pin placements.

I would expected these course conditions on Labor Day, but not a day after Memorial Day. That's disappointing.

The pin placements were silly for a Tuesday.

Mountain course with good challenge. It,s a must to play it when I go to Arizona but have to wait for golf pass hot deal to can afford to play it. Regular price is always over $200 US which is near $300 CDN.

Resort and Desert Golf in 1

Played my first round in the desert ever today. And chose this course bc it was at our resort. $200 is a bit steep for me to play golf. But it was a once in a lifetime trip. And I wanted to experience golf in the desert. The course is in good shape. There are some burnt out spots already. And I’m sure it will get baked in the summer. But the fairways and greens are both very firm and fast. Huge bounces and roll outs off the fairway. That could help or hurt depending. The first 6 and last 3 holes are pretty standard resort golf. Wide fairways. Generous greens. Holes 7-15 are spectacular as the play up and down the mountain. Have several forced carries. And the desert is always in play. Very fun to play and I would love to do it again sometime.

Beautiful Course, 5 Hour Round

First time playing Lookout Mountain on 3/19. It is a great layout with tons of elevation, conditions were great as far as I was concerned. It reminded me of Estrella or Verado without having to drive, which explains the price. Might be a challenging day if you can't drive the ball with accuracy. Not too long of a course, though. Around hole 7 the course starts showing its teeth as the fairways narrow and elevation increases. Pace of play had become an issue by about the 3rd hole with having to wait to hit every shot.

The round took a few minutes over 5 hours. The ranger was kind enough to explain around hole 13 that there was a group in front of us that felt entitled to bog down everyone else's day. Their own words, apparently. I'm not sure how that is in any way acceptable - not like I walked on the course for free? Seemed like they had intimidated the ranger. It's just a shame because I played Copper Canyon a week or so ago, also with a completely full tee sheet, and it was an under 4 hour round, for much cheaper.
