Wish golf now would of flag the course that greens were punch not to long ago, also happen couple weeks ago on Cimarron

Great course, but I can't understand why customers aren't told that the greens were punched when they are booking their tee time?!?! I booked through Golf Now and this happens all the time. Best to call the course before...don't rely on Golf Now to be up front about conditions. Thumbs down!

Decent course but no notification of the greens being freshly punched when you show up is a bummer

The recent aerated greens were really rough. They were like a tuck & roll seat. There was no consistency with the speed from green to green and the texture prevented reading the break. My score suffered by about 8 strokes.

Hard to find the pro-shop, but course was fun. Good wide open layout. Always hitting to a raised green and lots of green side bunkers throughout. Fun to play.

Great experience. Staff were very courteous and helpful. Course was in great shape and very challenging. Beverage cart came by several times during the round. Certainly well worth the green fee. Going back to play again.

Should have warned me of punched greens. I payed full price for unplayable greens, very bad experience.

I understand that golf courses need to aerate the greens. I also feel they have an obligation to let the golfer know the conditions are bad, especially since that have another course that was pristine. Had I only known about this, I could have moved to the other course and enjoyed myself. The starter did allow me to play the other course for no cost but it was 110 outside and the heat takes its toll on you. Why even use the punched course during the low season at all????

We choose to play the Valley course despite the aeration of the greens and fairways because we valued pace of play over perfect fairways and greens. We were aware that they had punched both but it was hot and we wanted a round in less than 3 hours. The greens were ok given their condition. Overall this is a great challenging course when it is in top shape - we knew that was not going to be the case today but achieved our goal of a quick round.
