Overall nice course

This course did not have the best reviews but I really enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, the course was well kept, views were nice. The only issue i had was we got stuck behind a group of 8 which really made for a long game, and a lot of frustrated golfers. But I would definitely go back.

Course continues to improve

The course continues to improve. The only problem is the bunkers. Most are hard packed and need to be worked on. Plenty of water hazards, so need to have good ball control. Worth playing for the price. Way better shape than more expensive courses in the area.

Pleasant day @ Cathedral Canyon

My wife and I play this course once or twice a year. The course was in good condition, with well groomed fairways. The price is right and the staff is uber friendly.

Course continues to improve

I would have rated it 5 stars, but the bunkers need work. The bunkers are hard packed with lots of grass in several of them. Played most of them as ground under repair. The rest of the course is in great shape. They have trimmed a lot of the trees back. Pace of play was good and staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Worth playing if you are in the area.

Course continues to improve

I play here regularly and the course has improved a lot over the last few years. The only thing that needs immediate attention is the bunkers. Several hard parked or overgrown with weeds. The greens are in great shape and run true. People need to fix their ball marks, I fix between 4/5 on every green. The course is challenging with lots of water hazards. Worth playing if you are in the area.

Cat city gem!

I’ve been playing this course for over 10 years now and a lot of stuff has changed.

Positives: friendly staff, fast running carts now with windshields, rolled out greens, lush fairways, flat layout balanced by tree lined fairways and plenty of water hazards, and great pace of play (less congestion of golfers).

Negatives: bunkers need actual sand, not dirt, some rough patches and bare spots throughout some sections, no ball washers (probably an easy fix), no marshalls or cart girls for snacks/drinks, and no range. However, they do have several putting and chipping greens. A lot of the negatives are only bc they need more play to warrant those services.

I do want this place to improve but i’m also torn bc i like it just the way it is. it’s a hidden gem with less golfers in general than surrounding courses and great value for the price this time of year. If you get a chance, check it out!

Confusing but a great value

I don't think I've ever driven so much between certain holes. I will say there is very good and challenginging shots to be had on this course and the green run very nice

Always fun!

The staff is great!. The course was decent considering the rain it had gotten. Only negative was the sand traps that were like compacted clay.

Nice course

Great layout. Lots of water in play. Fairway grass was long but playable. Probably not enough time since over-seeding Greens were in great shape.

Starter was amazing, too bad the course wasn't as good.

No driving range. About half the greens had bad patches making putting difficult. Landscaping crews on the course had no idea they were in the way. They claim the flooding caused poor course conditions, the big flood happened 9ish months ago, plenty of time to get back in shape.

The starter was the bright spot of the whole day. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

Overall, disappointed with the course.
