Bad condition

It looked like they spray painted the fairways. Greens were very dry and there was almost no fringe. Had to play all bump and runs because every time I tried to use my sand wedge from inside 40 yards, the club bounced and skulked the ball.

Not Quite There

While the course has a challenging layout, the course conditions exacerbated making decent shots. There was a lot of water on the course, with the traps being more like mud depressions. Many landing areas were so soft, the ball would become plugged. The greens were in fairly decent condition, with a pretty consistent roll from green to green. The clubhouse was very nice and employees courteous and professional.

Over priced-not worth it

Been playing the ranch for many many years, conditions today: negligible amount of grass on fairways and in "rough" areas, greens were good, lots of goose droppings :-).

In my opinion this track is not worth $183 tax in on any day of the week in any season.

The main reason I have consistently played here was that it provided the best "value" in the neighbourhood.. For a few dollars more I'll hopefully chose clubs that are in better condition.

Nice course

A little pricey, but a nice well kept course. Group of drinking young men who thought they were better than they were held things up until the ranger finally got them moving.

Great course. Not a great value for the money

Played on a Saturday morning and was the first tee time off. The course was very very wet and in some spots unplayable. I believe if the price for 18 was $50-$75 less I would have no complaint but for what it’s currently priced it did not seem worth it. Will return and play again when I am town.

Dog track

Played during the busiest week of the year and paid a premium. You would figure they would have prepped for this event, but they definitely did not. Was brutal, wouldn’t pay $50 to play this dog track. Won’t be back ever.

Not great

Came down from Minnesota to play a little golf. This course did not impress like Estrella and Starfire.

Fairways seemed to be painted. Dead grass everywhere

Anything off the fairway was sand. Seemed like they ran the sprinklers all night and the course was just sloppy.

I did think the greens were really nice but that was about it.

Go play Estrella for a cheaper price and much better course conditions

Great couples course

I spent a bunch of time reading all the reviews and they were spot on.

A cold January made it a bit more challenging. The back nine on the pine course was the best part, layout was challenging and the greens were great. Tough putting!Make sure to spend some time practicing putting from above the hole as three putts are more common on the back nine. Stay below the hole on your approach!!!

We played with another couple and it was a good course for the ladies too.
