Nice Course, Still some minor repairs on course and practice greens
Played El Dorado Course, It was fairly challenging. Quite a bit of water and some carry off the tee boxes. Played the tips at over 6900 yds.
Most par 3's were around 200 yds. Some of the greens needed some work. But overall fairly quick greens. The course was in pretty good shape.
The practice green near the driving range needs lots of work.
I played on a Tuesday at 11am. Finished 18 in a foursome alittle before or at 4 hours. We played on three different tee boxes and never had to wait on the group infront of us and the group behind us we barely saw. They never had to wait either.
Would play again. I also got my round on the Hot Deal. Good price.
La Quinta was about $10 less on Hot Deal.
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.
Interesting course to play
One would never be disappointed playing this course
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.
Great course to play
Golfnow has made it possible for me to continue to play on this very nice course
Enjoyed my round
It is always a great experience playing the El Dorado course
El Dorado much better shape than La Quinta
El Dorado greens were in much better shape than the La Quinta greens.
Good value and the starters were very friendly and accommodating with us !

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.
Thank you for the compliments and we apologize you missed the bathrooms/water-fountains on holes 5, 10, 13, 16. Hope to have you back in a less stressful weather season.
It was my first time there and here were my first impressions:
Goods:
-Very very friendly staff. They were so nice in particular the front desk and the drink cart lady.
-The back 9 was in good condition and had well designed holes.
Bad:
-I don't recall if it just rained or not, but the front 9 was terrible. The condition was so bad (i.e. I couldnt tell the fairway from the rough, the greens had so many ball marks and a couple had fungus growing on them, etc). The scenery felt like I was going through a swamp and there was nothing pleasant to look at.
-There were not water coolers, except one at the turn. I just moved back to Houston, but I was fortunate to play a lot of courses here and this course was the very first one with only one water cooler. I cant even imagine trying to play in Houston heat without water, but I will that to business strategy to get people to buy more drinks from the cart.
Overall, it was a decent experience, but the front 9 is was really affected this rating.
We'd like to earn another 1-2 stars. Any additional feedback is appreciated. Hope to have you back.
