Goat Track - Watch Out

A true dumpster fire. Course was in very poor shape. Greens very bumpy and torn up. Slamming a putt when only 10 feet away. Not representative of Desert golf. Buyer beware.

DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE

We played cathedral canyon today as a four ball at a cost of 75 dollars each, the course is written up as being a championship course , it is absolutely rubbish, the tee boxes are virtually non existent , the fairway grass (where there is some) is long, the greens are probably the worst I have ever played on they are virtually unplayable , the course should put out a disclaimer letting potential players know the state of the course, this is not a course that any golfer would want to play, how they have the nerve to charge the fee’s they do is beyond comprehension.

Unacceptable

We last played this course three years ago. The course has obviously suffered some flood damage over those years. The washouts in some areas, the fairway grass pretty much nonexistent and the greens in such rough condition it was a joke, made this course very disappointing and not any where worth the money spent. We will not golf the course again.

Not worth the money

All I can say about the course that was good was the golf carts were decent. The grass was hardly there you could not putt on the greens. We had to do a 2 putt rule because the greens were impossible they would bounce all over they were super long. The sand traps were horrible. for the price that they wanted, and what was paid for this course, it was not worth it.

Course needs some serious help

I have played this course in over 15 years and a lot has changed in that time. This course was beautiful and green me a fun course to play back then. This time, the course was in serious need of help. All the greens were bumpy and need to be redone. It was cart path only, which we didn’t find out until we got there, and there didn’t seem to be any reason for it. It you need to overseer, close for a month and fixed it. We were very disappointed and probably will never return

Clean up your course

Greens were bumpy and not filled on. The course was littered with Palm fronds and lots of down debris. Basically an unkempt course.

Greens & Fairways Disgusting

I had played this course once before years ago - and thinking they would up their game - tried once more. They had the gall to charge a reduced rate LOL of $60 - and it wasn't worth $10. Greens were awful, fairways worse, but the weather was nice. Will never play there again.
