Fun challenging course

Wow, I don’t remember the last time I had this much fun on a course. I was a solo with nobody in front or behind me. I played at amazing pace throughout this challenging course. Wonderful scenery and course layout. The cart path got a bit confusing at times but that didn’t bother me much. Amazing depth changed throughout the course. Not too hard but definitely not for the faint of heart Scary yet exciting holes.

Great Golf Course - We Will Be Back

Super fun layout played from the blue and white combo tee boxes. First time playing the course and it’s awesome when you can take aggressive shots over trees on the dog leg lefts and rights. The shots are blind but if you trust your golf app gps and trust your shot then why not go for it? The course has a lot of elevation change so have your distances dialed in for those shots up or down. My son and I both loved the course and we have it on our favorites list. We will for sure be back to play it again!

Cold weather

25 years later

Weather was cool, not cold. Only issue really was we finished at 4:15pm and barely got a beer in time before they closed the bar. What??

Course was great, thought it's condition was top shelf.

Perfect conditions: course/weather!

A great course layout meandering through trees and ponds that make you think twice about which club to use? Greens are always fast. Afternoon play cost less and not too crowded. Better ply soon because greens become even faster!

Did eat there but they have an excellent restaurant.

No notice of aeration and rude staff

Nothing like showing up for a tee time only Tom find out they did aeration last week, “ you probably won’t know the difference” as the pro shop attendant asks as enter the pro shop while on his cell phone. I tell the gentleman my time and he responds, “ you’re pretty early” …yes I’d like to hit balls…” we are out and I’m not sure when we’ll have the time to pick the balls, we’re slammed” nobody was around and now I’m just getting upset. It’s unfortunate that some courses treat their golfnow customers differently and with spite. After all that nonsense I obviously did notice the aeration and it wasn’t great. After a 2:45 minute front nine i left and have no desire to ever return . Do better, that was ridiculous

Amazing day at Greenhorn Creek

Staff were amazing as soon as entering pro shop and very friendly. Pace of play could’ve been slightly better but it was a great day and perfect weather to be outside. Will definitely be returning soon!

Love this course but currently in need of repairs.

Greens still healing from aeration. Bunkers are not playable. Lots of mud/soft ground. Tee boxes need to be leveled. Beer needs to be cheaper 👍🏻. Aside from that...this is still a beautiful course and their rates somewhat reflect the current conditions. Decent bang for buck.

Needs some attention

It had been probably 6 months since I last played Greenhorn Creek. I was amazed how much the course deteriorated in this amount of time. The greens were soft with lots of bare spots. Ball marks were hard to fix as the grass seemed to fall apart in the process. I tried to fix as many as I could once on the green. Didn’t seem like many players were fixing any to the courses defense. Lots of wet/muddy areas in the fairway. Sand traps were hard unraked with weeds growing inside. Pace of play was slow. Really bogged down on the back. 3 hours to finish that 9. The hot deal price was perfect for the conditions. It would be hard to pay more. With a little TLC the course could get back to championship conditions.
