Great location just run cheaply but, NOT CHEAP TO PLAY!
Overall the course was good.
Complaints: Easy fix. Not able to drive off cart path...PROBLEM! Bunkers, full of weeds!!
Groups of 5 ahead of us...PROBLEM! No ranger!
Beverage cart, nice girl but, Prices were WAY out of line! The selection of snacks and beverages were TERRIBLE!!! Fosters, Coors "lite", No names brands!!! Really!!! A resort like this should have Quality beverages! Then they had the nerve to charge $7 and $8 for this stuff!!! Skittles!!! Who eats this stuff on the golf course? These are adults NOT 6 year old's and they paid good $$$ to play here. Overall....somewhat disappointed!!
For a 18 handicap or less
Cart path only and target golf just as the add says.
Few trees and water hazards but plenty of marsh lands and the rough is natural and deep. Will loose a ball if not in the fairway. Cart path only is not bad if you hit the fairway. Overall challenging and you can't beat the scenery.
great golf course
I have played five times and really like the course. this is target golf so accuracy, especially off the tee is important. very fair test of golf. there are no blind shots and greens are moderate speed. fantastic views and staff could not be nicer.
Not My Favority Type of Course
Being that it is a resort course, a lot of tipping is required, be prepared. Also have everything you need when you leave the car as it is not convenient to return to your car.
The course is a summer course, not very well maintained, seems like an afterthought to the resort. It is environmentally sensitive so cart path only. I did get a red flag but still difficult to maneuver. Overall, not my style, too much punishment for barely bad shots. Between us we lost over 10 balls.
just poor
Service bad, greens were rubbish had weeds on them were in terrible condition bouncy and slow worst in the sierra!!! The local nine hole is in much better shape.
Even for $29 a round, I'd skip this course.
Poor lay out, very narrow fairways, all greens (if that is what you call them) are on top of knolls. Course is designed for scratch golfers yet condition of the course is comparable to poor public courses. If you are a 12 handicap or higher and don't hit dead straight, bring lots of balls.
Beautiful setting
I played mid afternoon on a Sunday and my partner and I had the course wide open. We didn't have to wait at any hole. The course is a typical mountain course with the front nine having narrow sloping fairways. This means you have to pretty accurate or you will have lots of work to do. The back nine is in the meadow area but not without challenge. While the fairways are wider you have many marsh areas you must layup to so that you carry the area. This was a challenge for me being the first time playing here. I will have better course management skills next time. I would like to play again. I must say the resort is conserving water as evident in brown spots on fairways and greens that are not velvet. If this does not bother you its a great place to play.
Not worth the time.
This course is not worth the time and money. Should be a $20 course, with the prices (we paid $67 each) you would expect much, much more. No range, just a net with tattered old mats, practice green and practice area were a mess. There are lots of good courses in the area where your money will go further and you'll feel better about spending the time.
Not what I was expecting
Squaw is such a nice resort I was assuming the golf facilities would be a lot better
No driving range and the greens were awful
Squaw Creek - Layed back golfing
The scenery was great and there were few golfers so no pressure playing. This is an all natural turf golf course so no fertilizer used so the conditions vary. Also it is a cart path only golf course with very tight fairways.Very relaxed family friendly course. So if you don't want children around this is not a course for you.
Beautiful
Great track. Some of the best views in the country. The atmosphere is a little to snooty. Valet guy said, "we work for tips." Really??, great observation, Sherlock. But I prefer to park my own car and load up my own cart(bag boys, too). So essentially two tips were wanted before I even teed it up. As for the course, the layout is awesome. Very tight, but not too long. The conditions aren't great being that I don't think they are able to use fertilizers, considering the location. This is very understandable. But all in all a wonderful place to play the game. Unforgettable.
Fair and difficult. a great test of your game.
Playing in early June the greens were rough. The rest of the course was fantastic. Visually difficult to know where to hit your drives, but the fairways are bigger than they look. They have a walking rate and I will do that soon. It is cart path only so when busy, play will most likely be slow. There is an interesting blend of tree lined and open link style holes. I will play again.
The course has issues
Played this course many years ago and it was in great shape. This time it was brown due to drought (even though a nice creek runs through the middle). The greens were bad, for a high priced course. There seemed to be lots of weeds in them and our putts bounced merrily around. While everyone was cordial, we were never told, nor were there signs to inform us that the course was cart path only; well until some guy in a cart yelled at us about it on our second nine. He said the rest of the staff was lax about it. Honestly, I play a lot of better courses than this for a lot less money even in touristy areas. I don't plan to play this course again.
Facilities
Course is in pretty rough shape from the winter, but still very beautiful. There is no driving range which was weird because there is a lot of property.
Expensive target golf
Resort at Squaw Creek is too pricey for what they offer. No towels or water provided. Small net driving range and tiny practice green. Cart path only on ski resort wetlands makes for a tiring round. Extremely narrow landing areas means that the driver stays in the bag and lots of iron and hybrid play. Swarming gnats, biting black ants, and $98 green fees will make us steer towards other options.
