Definitely recommend

Don’t miss out on this course. If not the best, one of the best in the area! Second time playing Crooked Cat, it is in great condition and you can make it fair or challenging by selecting your tees.

That Starter😱

Love the golf course, great conditions, wonderful practice area and green fee was very reasonable given the Hot Deal on Golfnow… However, I arrived at the starter hut as a single and was told to pair up with another single and a double in another cart. I simply turned, did not say a word and looked at the starter. I was met with “only 2 carts per group, if you have a problem go back and pay $15 if you want your own cart”…wait a minute, I played Crooked Cat a few days ago and was not asked to pair up and we had 3 carts in the groups…if you have a policy, be consistent with the enforcement of the policy.

Nice course. The front side was a little less maintained. Fairways felt like they could've been mowed. Back 9 was in good shape. Excellent pace of play. However, the restaurant and pro shop was closed when I finished my round. Wanted to grab a drink and maybe a bite to eat but wasn't able to.

Crooked

Nice course, was in good condition, friendly staff but a wee bit pricey and had to PAY for range balls. Pace of play was good. Was a single, paired with a threesome and glad I was allowed to keep my own golf cart. Will be back when I source a hot deal green fee.

First Class Course Design - Excellent Conditions

Our pace of play was slow as there were 3 high handicappers in my 4-some but that’s just the luck of the draw as a single. EVERYTHING else was EXCELLENT. Bag staff were friendly and helpful; Pro-shop Staff were very efficient and informative; practice range and tees were great (they do charge extra for practice balls :-(, the course was in great condition tee to green, especially for Feb golf; greens were a tad slower than I’d like but everything rolled true; course layout is very good with generous fairways and clear target lines; Rangers on course to help pace of play: beverage carts to help forget the bad shots. I can’t wait to go back.

Highly recommended if you want a more upscale course and experience.
