Course getting better

Course is continuing to improve. Bunkers need a lot of work, virtually no sand, play as ground under repair. Greens need to be mowed and rolled. Fairways getting better. Worth playing for the price.

Great value for the money. My only complaint would be the greens were very slow and had not been cut.

Course continues to improve

Course conditions are getting better on everything except the bunkers. Bunkers get to much water and are packed down firm. Greens still slow and bumpy, Greens need to be cut and rolled. People still failing to fix ball marks.

Getting better

They are definitely working on the course, but it's not quite there yet. The grass on the fairways are quite long and the greens are fuzzy. But for our caliber of golf it's okay.

The restaurant appears to be closed...shame.

The staff was very friendly!

Not great!!

Friendly staff and not very busy, so good pace of play! The fairway & greens conditions were generally poor. We played several other courses in the area this trip, with all others in better condition and even a bit less expensive. We were not informed that they had a small selection of drinks for purchase in the pro shop, no drink cart & the restaurant was closed. I would suggest you find another course to play!

Course needs some attention

Course needs a lot of attention. The fairways have bare spots, the bunkers were fair and the greens were fuzzy and slow. The greens were bumpy and need to be cut and rolled. Pace of play was slow, over 5 hours. Need a Marshall to keep play moving. Waited on every tee box, even when we played slow. Play if you get a good deal.

First time playing since April 2024

The course was in much better shape than has been for the last few years. Fairways have improved and you were actually hitting off grass. Greens are a little slower than in the past and bunkers were in very good shape. Was very pleased with the course today.

Canyon country club golf course

I read the reviews after I booked, and thought about canceling. But price was great so I kept my tee time. The staff was friendly and told us of the condition and repairs . You could see the damage that part of the course had taken from a bad rainstorm a while back. The first two fairways and greens were a little rough. The fairways and the The greens after that were really in good shape. Never had to wait and found the course to be Challenging . I will be back
