A sad experience

Course is in good condition and staff inside was great but I had a huge issue on course that they didn’t even try to alleviate. Group in front of us was playing music so loud that we could hear it from 300 yards away. Lots of cursing and lyrics that were inappropriate for young children. I called the course and told them it was beyond appropriate and they agreed and said they would send someone out. They didn’t. Three holes after I called this in the loud music and clearly drunk group started yelling back at me as they drove off from the green. I kept my cool (thanks to my wife riding along with me) but I didn’t want to. I will never play here again. I guess they just got new management so let’s hope they do better. Not good!!!

So slow

I like this course. Fun. The bad part was how slow it was. Waited on every tee to tee off all day. No marshals to be found. I know it’s a Sunday but 4 groups on one hole 4 separate times during the round is not acceptable. I won’t be playing here on a weekend again.

Great course but….

This course is beautiful. Nestled in the mountain pines with great views and a fun layout. Love it. What I don’t love is the pace of play here. Played the course twice now and have yet to finish a round in under 5 hours. So darn slow. It’s slow because the course is very difficult if you’re a high handicap golfer. I saw numerous groups searching in the woods for their golf balls. From 1 through 18 there isn’t much relief if you don’t hit the ball fairly straight. Not the course’s fault. I only mention this as a warning to those of you who hate waiting every hole to hit. Again, this course is beautiful and fun if you have the patience required to finish 18 holes.

Great course

Ute Creek was a very nice surprise. Great layout, easy walk and plenty of trouble lurking. It was very windy the day I played but there were plenty of landing zones to aim for based on the wind. I would recommend this course to anyone, and I can’t wait to play it again.

Open Range

The staff was very friendly and the course was in as good of shape as it could be for April. My complaint is with the course itself. It’s a giant pasture with golf holes placed throughout the property. You can hit your tee shot anywhere and still have a shot to the green. Almost zero consequences for a bad tee shot. The course is the most boring place I’ve ever played and the pace of play was awful. The reality is the course is great for beginners or someone working on their swing, but not a good fit for low handicap golfers.

My favorite public course in the area

Great course. Greens and fairways are in great condition. My complaint is the practice green is horrible. It’s in perfect condition but there is no where on the green to putt that doesn’t slope severely to the west. I mean no where. So, once you hit the first green it’s anyone’s guess as to what the speed of the greens are. Time to rebuild the practice green. Please!!!!

Good course doubling as mud pits

I really like BV and to no fault of the staff the course is in awful condition. It’s due to the rain over the past month. Course does not drain well. Several temp tee boxes. The staff were very honest about the conditions and suggested only paying for 9 and deciding if you wanted to continue at the turn, so they are doing their best with what Mother Nature has forced on them. I would suggest waiting a few weeks for this course to dry out.

Summer fun

Ledges was a great course. A few dry patches in the fairways and the greens had been punched and neither were a problem. Loved the layout and the fairways were quite generous. Pace of play was perfect. I will definitely play here again.

San Geronimo is wet!

I really like this course, but like all the courses in our area SG is suffering from heavy rains. The course was extremely water-logged and soggy. Staff has not been able to mow in several areas and just walking on the fairway was almost impossible in some areas. I lost several golf balls, all of them in the fairway and it was quite frustrating how long the grass was in the fairways. Unfortunately, SG doesn't have a driving range so hitting balls here is not an option. My suggestion is to give the course another week before playing it. Again, this is a great course but it's in no condition to be played at the moment.

Where's the marshal

It's been a couple years since I've played here and the course was in nice shape after all the rain two weeks ago. I forgot about the driving range being so short that drivers weren't allowed...bummer. After playing two slow holes I reac the third tee to find it stacked up three groups deep. I figured it was just due to three being a tough par three. How wrong was I!!! We stayed three deep the rest of the way, with long waits on every tee box. Five hours later I reached hole 15 and darkness engulfed the course. No marshals ever came around to move groups along. The only staff I saw was a guy collecting aluminum from the trash cans. I mentioned the unacceptably slow play to the staff after nine and they basically turned a deaf ear to my protests. This course needs to learn how to properly space tee times and for all our sake please please hire marshals.
