Nice track!

Great track, in better shape than most in the area.
Don't agree with complaints of losing balls? If you play from the correct tee boxes, and keep it in play, you will lose very few balls! Great layout, that will have you using every club in the bag. Pace of play can be slow, but only due to folks playing from the wrong tee boxes. Please play from the tee boxes that match your HDP.....not your ego.

Where legends grow!.....but grass doesn't!!!!!

Laughable conditions.
This course is beyond a shadow of it's former self. I get that we are in a drought, blah blah blah, but this course seems to have suffered so much more than most golf courses in the area.
Brown, burnt out fairway, dirt bunkers, make for a very disappointing round of golf.
I used to love playing this track, when it first opened. First time back in over a year, and I can say with confidence, but disappointment, that I will NOT return to this once great course.
Money spent on a couple of new trailers with siding...AKA "clubhouse"
but no money spent for upkeep on the course. What a shame.

Never again.

It's obviouse that all of the glowing, 5 star reviews have been done by the mens club!!! but if you have never played here and are NOT retired with nothing else to do? play somewhere else! This course is in very bad shape. Pace of play is a joke. Greens are spongy and slow…at best, fairways are half dead grass and weeds, and the tee boxes are the worst I have seen. The cart we were given was on its last legs from the very first tee. The score cards are paper…..PAPER!!!! really?? We were told American Golf no longer manages the course, thats fine, but the overall conditions make it obvious that there is NO management at all. This use to be a descent place to play, but judging by our last experience, we will NOT be back.

SLOOOOOOOW!!!!

Wow! I want those 5 1/2 hours of my life back.
We saw one marshall….once all day long.
He told the foursome in front of our foursome, hey no problem, once you get past this next whole, things are wide open. Great!……but the twosome that was holding everything up was at least a whole behind, and the marshall never said a word to them?? This is poor golf course management…at best. If there is a marshall on duty…..PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE train them to do their job!!!!!!

Nice!…..but

The front nine is in great shape, but you are in for a surprise come the back. most of the tee boxes are shot! lots of goose sh@# and very dry conditions on fairways, with bunkers that are crusty and full of gravel and dirt. Pace of play really slowed on the back, with NO marshall ever in sight. I may come back, but the back nine will need a lot of attention to make it worth the drive.

Fun course, but no turn??

Had been years since I have played this course.
Last time I played the course was in bad shape. Decided to give it a shot. I was surprised, and delighted to see the course was in very good shape.
The weather was perfect. My only complaint about this course is that there is no turn to get food and drinks. There is a club house with all the goodies, but they really need to figure out something on the course at the turn. No beverage cart on the course either was a drag. I will come back to play, but will be better prepared, and bring my own food and drink. Just one other small thing….It's not very welcoming to a golfer when the person behind the counter in the pro shop is to busy to notice that you would like to check in, because they are to busy TEXTING ON THEIR PHONE!! Thats pretty annoying, and unprofessional. Just saying.

Great time....but...

I always have a great time at this course. Its fun, in great shape, and a good deal. However, I will be bringing my own food and drink from now on. Every time I stop at the turn for something to eat, some of the young ladies who work the counter really make you feel unwelcome! I am spending money, but made to feel like Iam putting them out. At least try and put on your best FAKE smile. No smile, monotone voice and attitude I can do without. The golf course is great, but SOME of the staff in the restaurant can spoil the fun quick.

Great experience all the way around!!

This was my first time playing the course, and I will for sure return to play again. The course is a good test, you will have to use all the clubs in you're bag, but thats how it should be. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to be greeted by such a friendly staff, and made to feel genuinely welcome!! I was late for my tee time, but the staff was VERY accommodating and NOT stuffy or arrogant and got me right out on the course. If you have not played Eagle vines, make the trip, and experience what great golf and hospitality is all about. Thanks Eagle Vines! you have a return customer who is happy to spread the word.

Very poor shape. Won't be back!!!

This course is a nightmare!!
Fairways are burned out, bunkers are NOT sand, they are DIRT!!!....YES, DIRT!!! Greens are incredibly slow and bumpy. Last but not least, greens were sanded on the back nine.......with NO WARNING from the pro shop, just a surprise when you reach the tenth tee. This course is a joke!!! The course has potential, but is very poorly managed.

Play somewhere else!

person in the pro shop does NOT know how to smile.
Could not tell the difference between the tee boxes and fairways.
Cart paths are a NIGHTMARE!
Your better off taking a leak in the bushes full of poison oak than using the DISGUSTING restroom on the course. Waited 15 minutes in the bar for a drink.......NOTHING BUT CRICKETS!!! Cant even get a soda or food because apparently they can't staff someone to run the 19th hole....LAME!!! I see people posting that it is a great value for the money....I say spend another 10 bucks and go somewhere that has much better amenities and a course thats in better condition. Never again will I play this course, with so many others that are so much better for 10$ more.

Great course, for the value. Definately a players course!

I love this course, it is always in great shape. The course is tough, but fair. My only complaint is that the clubhouse is not accesable by the ninth hole. (NO FOOD AT TURN)
