BIG ROCK GOLF AT INDIAN SPRINGS

I have played this course numerous times and have enjoyed every round played. The course was in very good condition from tee to green. The greens were in nice condition and rolled true. Overall, it was a nice day, but somewhat windy. We did wait on a few holes, but managed to play in about 4 1/4 hours. I would recommend this course to anyone. Afterwards, the 19th hole is a fantastic restaurant/bar.

Marriott Shadow Ridge Golf Course

Shadow Ridge is one of the nicest courses in the desert.
The entire course is so lush and green, it's just a feast for the eyes. The course was in immaculate condition. The greens were fast and running true. The sand bunkers were in great condition! The course has some easy holes and then some very challenging holes. Many of the greens were undulating or had 2 levels. There are also plenty of holes where water comes into play. All in all the course is both forgiving and unforgiving at times, but fair. I recommend this course to everyone. I did play with my wife and another twosome. While I wouldn't consider it a drawback, the forward white tees maybe be a little long at 5158 yards for women like my wife. However, she loves the course and managed the length just the same.

Terra Lago South Course

Terra Lago South Course was in better condition than it has been for a few years. The Fairways were so green and in great shape. The greens were very good, but fast and difficult to see the breaks. The only downside, the bunkers were in poor condition because there was a substantial rainfall days before and nothing can be done for the wet sand. It will dry out eventually. With a 12:40 reservation, we didn't figure to finish, but the pace picked up after the front nine and we managed to complete the round in about 4 hours. The course has some beautiful vistas and I would recommend it to anyone that likes a challenge.

Big Rock Indian Springs

Golf course was in excellent shape. The greens were pretty fast and difficult to read some breaks,but very challenging. We played in 4 hours and never waited on any hole. Big Rock has an interesting layout and is more challenging than it appears.

We only played 9 holes because of 37mph wind. The pro shop gave us a 9 hole credit. I will be returning soon. It was my first time at this course and it was challenging and had some very unique holes.

Millpond Golf Club, Medford NY

Millpond is a wonderful links style course that has some very challenging holes and is a fun course to play. The course was in very good condition and the fescue is not quite so scary as it will be when it grows in. I found the greens to be fast and maybe a bit too firm. It was difficult and frustrating to find a well struck iron with a nice high ball flight would land the green and run off into the rough around the green. This was prevalent among my foursome and it made for way too many long putts because the greens would not hold the ball. Still, it is a great course and should challenge any level of players.

Smithtown Landing

Smithtown Landing is a very nice course with some challenging holes and greens. Some of the pin placements on holes provide even more of a challenge. The course was in good condition and the greens can be tricky, but run at a good speed. My only complaint is that I feel the greens are very firm and it's very easy for well struck irons to land on the green and run off. I also felt that some of the rough was overgrown and too many grass patches on the fringe of the greens. Smithtown Landing offers a lot of value for your money and it's one of the nicest muni courses on Long Island. I recommend it to anyone!

Smithtown Landing Golf Course

Smithtown Landing is a very nice course offering some challenging holes. The greens were aerated when I played, but it was still fun playing. The greens will be on good condition when they are done, as they usually are. I like the course and recommend it to everyone. The staff is always friendly and accomodating.

Terra Lago South

I like this course a lot, but lately it needs some TLC. The fairways have a lot of bare spots, bunkers are filled with what looks like gray dirt instead of sand. Slightly off the fairway and the dirt is so dried out so prepare to pick it or chunk it, you can't possibly get your club to take a divot. Most tee boxes were okay, but it hasn't been hit, so you can't say the grass was burned out. It seems like it's not getting enough water. You are better off playing Terra Lago North. It is more exoens8ve, but it is also better cared for.

Terra Lago South Course

I stopped playing the South Course for well over a year because I found the course was beat up and putting was impossible because the greens were rolled so hard and it was like putting on ice.
I played again because I got a good deal and was expecting the same.conditions. Well. I have to say the course was in very good condition and the greens were very puttable and I totally enjoyed my round of golf. The views were always beautiful and it was a great day. The course has always been challenging but I think it's fair. I will be returning to play again..

PGA West - Jack Nicklaus Tournament Course

This facility, club house, golf course, and staff is top notch. I recommend this course to anyone that loves a challenge and appreciates a beautifully designed course. The course was in great condition, greens were just about perfect. It is not an easy course, but it is fair and it will test you. I enjoyed it immensely and will play it again,if I can get another deal on Golf Now. I usually play 3 times a week with my wife and I have to look to play less expensive courses.

Big Rock Golf Course

I have played Big Rock many t8m3s before and have always enjoyed it because it has always been well maintained and a lot of fun to play. It has a lot of challenging holes, some with water and still manages to be forgiving also. The Big Rock Cafe has a great menu and the food is delicious. I would recommend Big Rock to anyone. If you aren't a golfer, try the restaurant, you won't be disappointed with either

Terra Lago North Course

The course was in pretty good condition, but I found if youbwind up in a waste bunker, which there are quite a few, the ground is like dried mud and the club just digs out patches of dirt. Fairways were in good shape, bunkers were in good shape, the greens however were absorbed with sand and difficult to putt because it. The ball skidded before rolling and if there were breaks and downhill , it was a lost cause. Not realistic to exoect to make many putts until the green maintenance they performed is completely done. I like the course, very beautiful and challenging, just not worth $90 right now.

The course was in great condition and the greens were fast, but tunning true. I enjoyed playing here but wish that they had Rangers to move the pace of play along. Overall it was a good day and this is a fun course to play.

Big Rock Golf Course at Indian Springs.

I have played the course before and this round was the first time this year. I always enjoyed Big Rock and today was no different. The course was in great condition and the greens were running about right. I have to say some of the pin placements seemed to be on a crest, so if you were putting on the downhill side, it's either in the hole or it's gone. Still, I loved the challenge, lots of defined breaks that were fun if you read them correctly. The pace of play was very good, just about 4 hours. Big Rock is fairly forgiving and if you stray from the fairway, you aren't penalized severely most of the time. I think it's one of the nicest golf courses in the Desert and fairly priced. The restaurant is also excellent if you want to eat or have a drink after your round. I will be returning very soon for another round.

Now this is a course that can be magnificent with it's rolling fairways and undulating greens. It is far more challenging than it's slope rsting. The problem is that it has not been maintained very well. There were so many dry patches on the fairways and it appears it is not being properly watered. I made a trip of nearly 50 miles and was disappointed. I don't think I will do that anymore this season..

Mission Hills Gary Player Course

Had a great time playing this course. The course was in great shape, geeens were a little fast but true. Its a very nice course with an interesting layout. I only wish was that there was a Ranger that could have moved the pace along. Waited at most holes, but not for very long. Can't do much about players using the wrong tee boxes based on their driving distance of 150 to 170 yards. Anyway, we have all dealt with that at one time or another. I would encourage any golfers to try this course.

The S at Rancho Mirage

It's always a pleasure playing the S course. The course was in great condition from tee to green. The greens were challenging, sometimes undulating, and just the right speed with some challenging breaks.. i brought 2 friends that never played the S course and they loved it. There are also some beautiful vistas on this course. Very fairly priced compared to other courses in the area. I recommend giving it a try, you won't be disappointed.
