A winter Texan Haven

This is a nice track. The staff is warm and welcoming, especially to the WinterTexans. We have played several times while in South Texas for the winter. The course is not spectacular, but nice. The greens are true and well maintained. Bunkers could use a little more atttention. Some of the fairways have some weak areas, but nothing major. The course does allow fivesomes to play, which delays the pace of play. I would suggest this course to anyone in the Rio Grande Valley.

Terribel Experience

The only positive I can write about the experience is I played golf. The check in process was bad. The staff acted as if we were a bother. We had tee times at after 11:00 AM, they had NO carts for us or anyone We had to wait for groups to return carts. At our scheduled time we watched a college team sit with FIVE carts talk for 15 minutes before they returned their carts. We were eight players with two tee times The pace of play was nerly five hours, we never saw a marshal. The greens were acceptable, but the remainder of the course was in terrible condition. Bunkers were mud pits, many dead and bare spots on the fairways. Our carts began to lose power on the 11th hole. We had to call SIX TIMES before anyone would answer the phone. At times I had to push the original cart as my wife drove. We played three holes before a replacement cart arrived. I would not suggest anyone play this course. of the 200+ courses I have played accross North America and Europe, this has to be in the bottom FIVE for all time worst. We will not return.

Idaho's Best Course

An excellent course well designed and well maintained. Greens are true and consistent The tips provided by the GPS system were helpful to the men, I wonder why tips are not offered for the ladies. We played two consecutive days. I wished they trained their starters better. Wed. we arrived to the first tee about two minutes before our scheduled time. We had to fight our way through the carts of the large group following us. Prior to our arrival, Larry the starter "lectured" our wives about arriving to the first tee on time. His concern was the large group to play behind us, to whom he talked during our tee shots. Thursday's starter could not keep quiet. I stepped back from my tee shot three times in the hopes he would stop talking to the members of the groups behind us. He never stopped talking. After I hit my tee shot, I told him " Michael, I hope my golf game did not interrupt your conversations" Instead of apologizing for his rudeness he laughed. I have been the starter at college events, high school events, Junior events and high-level amateur events. I always ensure the tee box is quiet.

Disappointment

We played the course on a reciprocal from our club, what a disappointment. The course was poorly maintained, numerous brown and dead spots on fairways. The greens were terrible., many had very little grass. Had I paid full rack rate for the round, I would have been upset.

Excellent Expericne

We played on a reciprocal through our club in AZ. Course was in very good shape,.Kirk is outside service was excellent. Pace of play was excellent.3 hr 25 min. Greens were excellent, fairways were outstanding. The Members have pride in their course, fairway divots were filled, ball marks repaired on the greens. We will play again.. We could not understand why the pro shop was closed at 1:00 PM the day we played.

Sedona's Gem

The excellence begins at check in with the pro shop personnel and gets better. The trees on the course offer ample shade when needed, but do not come into play. The course is in excellent shape. Keeping the ball in the fairway is a must, the rough is fair, but rough. The par 3 13 hole is beautiful. Play 1 1/2 extra clubs to the uphill green framed by the red rocks in the background. We always ensure OCC is on our list when we visit Sedona.

Always a pleasure

Our go to course when our home course is booked for an event. A unique track for AZ, the opening holes in the forests, the middle on the flats, the finishing holes back in the forest. We played the day after heavy monsoon rains, but the course was in excellent condition, with only a few wet spots. The greens were receptive to and rewarded a good approach shot. they rolled true. The staff was warm, professional and friendly.

Pace of Play ruined the day

Our Friday morning round took 4 hours 45 minutes. We never saw a marshal. The group in front of us finished 30 minutes after the group in front of them. Their play was acceptable, but they breached numerous golf etiquettes. The course was in good shape for just coming out of overseed. The greens were a good speed. Some of the bunkers needed work., some bunkers appeared to have been recently reworked. If I were to recommend the course to a friend it would be with the caveat regarding the pace of play.

Terrible Course Conditions

We played the course three years ago and left with positive thoughts. We no longer hold positive thoughts. Collectively, the members of our foursome have played in excess of 200 golf courses in North American, Austrasia, Europe, and Hawaii. This was one of the worst we have ever played, top five for sure. Multiple greens, fairways, and tee boxes had dead spots without grass. The dirt was so dry it was cracked. You know the course is in terrible condition was the staff apologizes to you after you play. Bruce Summerhays would be wise to remove his name from the course as the designer.

Improving Yearly

This was our third guest visit to the course. It only gets better. The greens were hard and fast, but puttable. The staff is truly professional. The course was in great condition. To an outsider it is obvious the members take pride in their course and respect the game of golf. I look forward to our annual visit next year.

A waste of time and money

Pace of play was miserable, Twice we called to request a marshal to speak to the groups in front of us to quit taking multiple mulligans, taking five minutes to look for lost golf balls, and five putting on greens. Two members of the foursome in front of us pulled beers from their bags on about half the holes, the other two, a man and woman, shared one set of clubs. Two phones calls to Justin in the pro shop were for naught, he told us over five hours was normal. One in the group behind us had on a faded t-shirt, advertising a bar. Twice he hit into my wife, once flying the ball over head. A marshal should have been sent by Justin to have the conversation with him, not me. The course has no respect for the game of golf, they are only interested in collecting green fees. DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE, Park City Muni is much better.

Enjoy the Golf and Scenery

A very nice course in Sedona with excellent scenery. The course is in above average shape, especially considering the heat of the summer. The fairways are ample. The greens are receptive to good shots, undulated, and roll true. The staff is completely professional.

Friends hosted use using their ClubCorp benefits. Staff is professional and friendly, practicing excellent virus protocols. Pace of play was 3 1/2 hours, The course is the best shape we have ever experienced, not a single bare or brown spot. Greens were excellent, holding approach shots and rolling true. The scenery is spectacular. A must play in NoAZ

Never Disappoints

The staff and the course at Elephant Rocks never disappoint. . Very nice muni, well maintained. Greens roll true and fairways are in reasonably good shape. This is our go to course when our club is closed, booked for a member event, or to escape the heat. The setting is great change from the rocks and desert of Prescott and Phoenix. .

Beautiful Vistas

The course, the surroundings, and vistas are beautiful. The pro shop staff was welcoming and professional. The warm-up range, not large, was set up for social distancing. The fairways were well maintained, cut to the appropriate height. The sand bunkers were packed, making it difficult to get the club head deep into the sand under the ball. The greens were hard, making stopping the ball a challenge. However, the greens were cut to a good speed and rolled true. The only negative was pace of play. We waited on every tee shot, second shot on par 5's, and every approach shot. The foursome in front of us had two golfers who played from the white tees, rarely hitting a tee shot further than 100 to 120 yards off the tee. Most of the time, we never saw the group in front of them. It would have been nice to have a marshal request them to allow us to play through. I would play the course again if I am ever in Central Oregon on a future visit.

Hire a Marshal

We played on a Sunday afternoon, starting on the first tee we waited to hit on about 90% of our shots. At the turn three groups were waiting on a foursome. It appeared as is there were three golf carts in the group, with one cart being a father, son, and rider. It appeared as if the father was letting the son run amok on the course and teaching the son golf. The course has many doglegs, making several blind shots. Other fairways just had blind shots, we parked a cart to be "visible" to the foursome behind us. Although the greens were in good shape, the speeds were inconsistent. Fairways were in moderately good shape with many unrepaired divots. (Our foursome had two carts, all four sand bottles were empty).

Hello, AZGolfCoach. Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play and course conditions during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. Please know that we are actively working on improving the course conditions and layout to improve your future golfing experience with us. Thank you for the review as we are always looking for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Lost Tracks Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Excellent Day

The Oakcreek Country Club is an excellent round of golf set in the red rocks of Sedona. The outside staff and Pro Shop personnel are professional. The course was in excellent condition. The fairways were an even cut and free of dry spots. The greens were very receptive to a good approach shot and rolling true.Our pace play was less than 4 hours If you are in Sedona, OCC is a must play. The 13th hole is the most beautiful hole on the course.

The tale of Two Nines

The course married the old forest nine and a newer meadows nine into a fun track. Holes 1-5 are in the forest with many changes in elevation. The next nine holes are on the flatter, more open meadow. You return to the forest and elevation changes for holes 15-`18. #18 is a fun way to finish par 3, straight downhill. Scott, Brandon, and Andrew; the pro shop personnel are tremendous hosts. A fun way to escape the heat of Phoenix and Prescott.
