Friday afternoon at 5:00pm

Ranger let a five some of walkers lock up the entire course. Didn’t see a beer cart person the entire 18 holes. Actually skipped holes due to not being able to finish waiting on the walkers.

GREAT value

First and foremost the quality for the value is top notch in my opinion. The course was in really great shape with the exception of a couple of greens and the practice putting green (needs a LOT of help). I'm about a 12 handicapper and played one up from the back and it was very challenging with some tricky teeshots and approaches; not necessary to use driver off most tee boxes but straight tee shots are a must. Will be back next time I'm in town.

Very challenging course

It was very challenging as expected. But disappointed with the conditions. Greens need attention. First time on the course, experienced tight fairways and plenty of water. Layout was interesting and entertaining. May play again.

Nice course

El dorado is nice. Fairways, tee boxes, bunkers all great. The greens aren’t perfect but being the season we are in I completely understand. We got stuck behind a group playing really slow and the Marshall came at hole 10 and made them let us play through. That was greatly appreciated.

This course will test your shot making

Like the course, it's fun and a challenge from the blue tees. Greens are in good shape and roll well.
Slow pace of play - too many locals in 5 player groups on the course playing very slowly.
