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!
Friendly staff, Great course conditions. No complaints at all. Would definitely play again
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.
I drove 2 and a half hours and wasn't able to warm up on the driving range. The course needs work. Lots of bald spots on the course. The bunkers were awful! Not enough sand and very hard. Course has potential! Needs work!
The greens were in bad shape and the bunkers were all very wet. They need to reduce their prices accordingly.
Disappointing
Tee time and check-in was easy. Decent selection of supplies and swag in the proshop. Drink cart person only seen twice in 4 hours with light play on the course. Bunkers are beyond bad. Hard pan and grass throught most. Greens obviously are fighting through fungus issue. Course flooded in many areas due to overwatering. I used to love this course but obviously there is a reason the parking lot was half empty on Saturday, with ideal weather.
Difficult course
Course was in excellent condition but some unrepaired ball masks on the greens. It was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit when we played. There should have been more drinkable water on the course. It is a wonderful setting and I enjoyed playing.
Good course
This is a course I always try to play when I’m in the area. Probably 4-5 holes you need to play a few times to know how to play them. Traps need work Overall a good value.
Nice to be back home.
Only negative would be players not repairing their ball marks. Playing by myself and nobody behind me, I was able to fix several on each hole.
