Pronghorn

Facilities were great, Thought signage between holes should be better. Made a couple of wrong turns.

Early season round

Greens pretty slow compared to summertime; fairways pretty good shape. Beware of windy days; makes the course much more challenging. Two birdies on back nine saved my day.

Used Golf Now. Got good green fee, but paid $30 for cart.

One of the best Winter Rounds

5th time playing Pronghorn. Always a great layout and course. Winter conditions were expected. Semi lunched fairways and slow greens. Fairways were browned due to no watering. Overall, to play somewhere that is dry and in resort level conditions for under $100 it’s a great purchase. Played 18 holes in 2 hr 45 minutes using cart (cart path only) could have been quicker if I just walked. Cart GPS monitors always very helpful.

Aeration was completed way too late

For the fourth year in a row, the aeration schedule is completed too late in the fall. Healing will not complete until late April to mid May. If they are still charging full price stay away until summer.

great course. Staff not attentive.

Course was great. Disappointed in outside staff. No help from bag drop guy. He let us walk all the way down the hill to the pro shop, where we then had to walk upstairs, check in, then go back downstairs, get a cart, and ride around the corner to load our bags. No one around the cart area to help. No key, so had to walk into the cart barn, flag a guy down and ask for one. As a result, no one to ask which way to the first tee. Ended up following some 1 and 10 arrows with no course ID, but they turned out to be the Fazio nines. Some friendly members pointed us towards Nicklaus, right at our tee time. The starter was friendly and helpful and we were good to go from there. No issues with the course, Great condition, great layout. Ghost trees were cool looking.

Excellent Course and Conditions

The course was in excellent condition and pretty challanging, especially the greens. Excellent practice facilities too. I loved the course, however, I was disappointed that there were no restaurants, cafe's, or snack bars open. There was a refreshment cart. The Pro Shop must have closed around 4 PM so Wife did not have a chance to spend a lot of money shopping after our round.

Don’t use the motorbikes

Motorbikes are terrible but love the course!

The bikes are heavy and unwieldy. Not safe and way too much effort to use. Not sure why they donn’t have the Finn bikes which are great.

Nicklaus Course is challenging but worth every penny.

First time playing this course, we had a blast. Definitely was crowded, and there were some slow people in front of us, but we made the most of it. The problem was the people behind us were frustrated with us because of their slow play. But beyond that, the course was immaculate, and was a super fun course. Definitely challenging, the amenities and the resort is off the charts. Must play in Central Oregon!

Beautiful views and challenging holes

Loved this course and the layout. I played the Fazio course a few days prior and this track seemed to be a bit shorter and more narrow. Would definitely play again when I’m in the area!
