Driving Range, Tee Boxes

overall the course is very challenging and enjoyable.
however the new driving range mat area needs a lot of improvement. for over half of it you can’t use the walk way or you will physically interfere with someone’s backswing, you can’t put the tee into the mat very far at all. definitely needs improved.

the tee boxes today were god awful. they as hard as concrete. fix it

Fun course

I’ve always liked the course since I was a kid. Pace of play there has always been pretty rough with all the kind shots you can have there. This round was no different. I played the first 7 holes in about an hour until I caught the groups in front of me and the remain holes took more than 3 hours All the greens are back open and I know they have been working hard to get them back in a playable condition. That being said they had so much sand on them putting was kind of like playing plinko. You hope it’s going to end up at the bottom of the cup but you have to have some luck on your side. They fairways were super dry so you can hit some monster tee shots and have even shorter second shots into the greens. It has a lot of fun holes and is is alot of fun especially when they greens are in good shape which isn’t the case yet. I’m going to give it a few weeks or a month before I go back and play it again.

Course is open and great

Man what a fun track! Not an overly long course but uneven lies uphill carries make for a real challenge. Greens held well and rolled really well. Greens are a little on the slower side right now but they were very true. I’d recommend this course to anyone! The views are terrific with abundant wildlife in and around the rolling hills and blackjacks. If you haven’t played this gem you are definitely missing a great round of golf!

All greens are back open

All the greens are back. They experienced some burnoff in the early summer and had temp greens for awhile, but are back to 100%. They also improved many of the tee boxes, and moved them back a little(which I enjoyed, since I normally play here a few times a month). Staff was super friendly as always and course is in great shape!

Redoing their Greens in the middle of July??

No idea why they chose to do this in peak golf season, especially when there are plenty of other courses to choose from in the area. The entire course is essentially a par 3 with a couple of par 4s. Putting was a joke. The cup was about 3 times the size of regulation. Very poor experience overall

Temp greens really make this course unplayable right now.

Don't when the course will be fully functional, but as of right now, it is absolutely awful. Everyone had no idea which hole they were on or which flag they were supposed to go towards. Could be a beautiful course, and sure it will be once finished. I personally won't be paying $20 to play on such till then.

Temporary Greens

Didn't know until I arrived that the course is playing temporary greens. Most holes are playing like a par 3 with temporary greens in fairway with 8" cups. It was silly golf. Could not putt at all. I really like this course and will go back but only once the greens are reopened.

Greens are horrible

Tee to green, nice course. The greens are HORRIBLE right now, which they have already taken some proactive steps to repair and have them scheduled, which is great. I wish the course close to my house would do this. However, Canyons has SO much potential and it was GREAT a couoke years ago. We've had some bad weeks of winter, which is why the greens are in bad shape. Overall, good course, just the greens sucks for right now. They will get it all together soon. Picture is of #3, one of the better greens.
