Great Practice Course

Not a big challenge of a course, but an excellent place to tune up your iron play. Only 3 holes require a wood, the rest are all reachable 3s. Pace is usually good and course conditions are good as well. Just a great value for a quick practice round.

Nice 9-Hole Course

First time playing this nice 9-hole course. Was greatly impressed with the staff. Very nice young lady provided me with excellent service. Played as a single and met some friendly golfers. Overall experience was very good. The only suggestion would be to improve the tee boxes and sand areas.

A great place at a great price!

This is a fun little course. The green fees are very reasonable. The staff is exceptional. I have played here several times and will continue to frequent this course. It has a few par 4's to practice your drives and several par 3's to practice your up & downs. I would recommend to all golfers looking to get a quick 9 holes in.

Perfect beginners course

For a beginner like me this is a perfect 9-holer. Many par 3s, decent pace, affordable and the course is maintained very well. Landing on the green when hitting from the tee is just an amazing feeling, so I will definitely be coming back here to do more practice runs!

TERRIBLE!

They canceled their service through golf now. They did not even offer us to play with full price. Terrible experience. They seem prejudiced.

Good practice

Great course for an economical round to practice fundamentals or just get out for 9 holes. As an "airport course" it doesn't have a challenging layout, but it can still be a good time. The course is kept up pretty well.

Great practice course

This was my first time playing at Buchanan's course but immediately I realized this is a course I will be back to. The staff was laid back helpful but not overbearing. The course was a tight 9 hole but the best 9 I've played (beginning golfer). The conditions were very dry and that's the only knock I have on this course. Bathrooms were clean along with the other facilities.

Great practice course

I was part of a 2some. We made a reservation online at the price of $5 for each player. After the "convenience fee" of over $6, we started play with nobody directly in front of us. We never caught up to anyone the entire round. The greens are in good shape and roll fairly fast. The sand traps don't have any sand, it is like hitting off of hard pan. The holes are pretty short and straight, and the course is flat. This is a great place to practice your irons.

Yucky food great course

Great practice course
It is conviently located the price is great.
If you get hungry I recommend eating elsewhere first. I snack shop is way over priced and the menu is not the same as and 18 hole course. It gets hot on this course and there is not much shade.
Bring COLD water because the snack shop water price is a dip off and they charge for a cup of faucet water.
Overval great place for practice not so great for food and drink.
I would like to see a band on the patio on certain evenings like Diablo

Kids and I

I saw the deal for $5 per golfer on Golf Now. I have golfed this course before but I always hit from the black tees. This time because my two girls, 6 & 8 were playing we played from the reds. We had a blast. The pace of play was great even though there seemed to be a lot of people we got done in just under two hours which was really amazing. Playing from the red tees felt like cheating a bit, but its not a course you take seriously anyways. It is just a fun course, and I am definitely taking my kids there again as it is challenging for them, but its a course that I still won't get tired of playing.

Great for beginners.

We are beginner golfers and first time on a real course. Good pace but didn't feel rushed. "Hot Deals" makes it worth it to get out and practice.
