Former championship course now in disrepari

Staff was extremely friendly, something we had not experienced in the past. The facilities were in bad need of paint, there was no bottled water for sale, green were bumpy and fairways had very little grass in multiple areas. Before the course was always marshalled and a 4 hour round was mandatory but this time we waited on every hole for a very slow group. Carts were very old and the GPS did not work, which we did not know ahead of time so that we could have brough our GPS. Not a $100/round course anymore.

Inn of the Mtn Gods

The course was in excellent condition. Last time I played was 38 yrs ago and it’s in much better condition than it was then. Obviously it’s been remodeled. I was surprised at the large trees in the middle of the fairways leaving you practically nowhere to hit your tee shot on several holes! Despite that, it was fun to play. 2 and 1/2 hrs on the front but only 2 hrs on the back.

Scenic and challenging course

We try to play at least twice a week while here in July & August. The last time we played we had to wait for a cart, because none were available. Not good!

Cart broke down on first green!!

Our cart had no power before we got to the first green. Had to wait 15 minutes for a new one. The GPS didn’t work. . Pace of play was horrible. There was a fivesome in front of us and they were all playing more than 1 ball on several holes. We waited for them on every hole and by 18 there was another group waiting with us at least 8 min for the five some to play a par 3!! The greens are in bad shape. Several bald spots. Lots of bumps and divots. The view on this course is great though.
