First Time Playing

Greens are unplayable.

We came out to the course to play during Masters week. Pro Shop warned us before we went out they had two greens that weren’t in great condition. That was an understatement. 80% of the greens were under repair and unplayable to putt on. Most of the tee boxes were burned out and under repair as well. What was really disappointing was they charged us Masters week fees inflation at $225 a person and the course was in terrible condition. Play this course at your own risk. The course needs lots of work.

Challenging and Amazing Course – Rude Ranger Roy

We drove 3+ hours to play this course as a destination get away weekend to close out the golf season. Since the weather conditions were rainy and wet, the clubhouse informed us to stay 90º and cart path on all the par 3s. When you tee off the starter gives you a sheet that provides you pace of play with times you should be at those holes. In addition to your written sheet, you also have cart GPS that provides you with expected pace of play.

Our group was playing 10-11 minutes above pace and a ranger approached our group and in a very rude tone told us we better pick-up our pace because we were 2 holes behind the group in front of us. I started to politely tell him that the group in front of us was a twosome and we were a foursome playing 10 minutes above our required pace based on our sheet…I tried to show him my sheet and point that out and he gave us a dirty look and he just drove off while I was trying to talk to him.

When you pay higher green fees, you expect to enjoy yourself but also understand you don’t want to slow any groups behind you so they can likewise enjoy their round. The course is very challenging but even so, we ended up finishing our round in 3 hours and 36 minutes (14 minutes prior to clubhouse expected finish). I did let the clubhouse know about our experience with Ranger Roy but they didn’t really seem to care. In the end, we decided to eat somewhere else after our round and we canceled our following days tee time and played Trappers Turn instead.

If you haven’t played Trappers Turn located right down the road from Wild Rock you’re in for a treat! The course layout is amazing and will require you to use every club in your bag. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is excellent! Check out their website: https://www.trappersturn.com/. Our group had a blast and we’re glad we moved our tee time from Wild Rock over to Trappers Turn. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Beat Up

You can tell this course gets a ton of play from outings. The fairways are beat in and around approach shot range and the par 3 tee boxes are terrible. Good luck finding a spot with some grass. It's a shame the course isn't maintained better and the players actually fixed their divots in the fairways and ball marks on the greens.
