Better options
This was disappointing, as the course was not in great shape, spotty fairways, hard to find your ball, sometimes even when hit in the fairway. Staff were nice and helpful, but wouldn't recommend the course, there are better, less expensive options available in the area.
Good Deal
Course is in better shape than I expected, greens were plugged but rolled really nice, bunkers were being worked on, fairways were in good shape. I will be back. The new Superintendent is doing a great job of bringing this course back to life, thank you Superintendent!! Ido recommend this course pleasant surprise!!
Stolen Rangefinder
I accidentally left my rangefinder magnetically attached to the side of the golf cart after playing my round yesterday. I called left a voicemail, with no response. Called in today (day after) and was told there was nothing found but to come and look anyway. I arrive, and met Frank, the cart attendant who was in charge of the lost and found. I ask him if they found anything, and he told me they did. He looked around, and acted like he didn’t see anything, and told me to look for myself in the boxes, which was confusing. While I was rummaging through the boxes, knowing that he just looked inside, and didn’t see the range finder, he leaves, goes to his Prius parked in the parking lot, and returns with my Bushnell Rangefinder in hand… he even had already put it in his own case of some kind. I confronted him and asked him why he decided to steal my belongings, he claims he didn’t steal it, only that he was keeping it “safe”… I then told him off and he replies “I don’t give a ****.” I went to the clubhouse and told the guy at the bar what happened, sure enough, Frank come speeding up trying to cover his *** only to look guilty as charged.
Course is in great shape! Greens are fast and fresh! Fairways are green and lush Rough is rough ! Love this track
Played a course that cost 3 times as much but wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as playing Boulder oaks
Really like how the owners have improved the course
Hidden gem
The scorecard doesn't tell the whole story. Challenging layout with sneaky quick and deceptive greens. Great place to work on shotmaking and thinking your way around a course. Will definitely play again and again.
Pleasantly surprised
Played this course today for the first time in a few months and was pleasantly surprised with how far it has come. Course was in pretty good shape. Greens were good, tee boxes outside of just a couple were even and in good shape, and the fairways were excellent. They have done a lot of maintenance work since the last time I came and the prices have stayed relatively the same which is a great value with the current conditions. If they could just get the bunkers in good shape the course conditions would be awesome. Only complaint aside from the bunkers is the confusing layout, but once you figure it out there are many fun and challenging holes.
Good value for money
Staff really friendly course a little scruffy but given how cheap it was to play it was good value for money. Greens ran true if a little slow
Good value to play at least once
Decent course with greens and fairways in good condition. Loved that no one was in front or behind us and the starter let us out early so we were able to play 18 in under 3 hours. The course layout is a bit confusing with limited signage (there are 19 holes). Definitely recommend getting a cart, was very hilly. Overall a good course to play once for the value, but there are nicer courses in the area.
Great value and nice coarse - don’t agree with other reviews
I’ve been coming here for a few weeks now and don’t understand the negative reviews. The greens, tee box’s and tee boxes are well maintained. I love playing here. It’s great value and not too far out from SD. I would def recommend to play here.
Layout
The layout is confusing.
My Bushnell GPS was even confused and I could never get yardage.
It's priced right, just don't expect much.
Tee markers are very confusing and hard to follow! Two separate #4 tee boxes. Directions to next tee box really needs to be up dated. We and several other players were driving around just to find the next tee box. ADD MORE DIRECTION SIGNS!! NO SIGN FROM PARKING LOT TO FIRST TEE. Called to verify tee time and was told cart fee was $25. When we checked in the young girl said she had miss quoted me on phone and the weekend cart fee is $30. She called her manager and he said to charge us $30. Very poor public relations and not admitting they had made a mistake!!
Getting hotter so the ball is now holding the fairwayw
The heat dome is making the ball really roll. There are many blind shots with heavily sloped fairways. We had a few shots that seemed perfectly played off the tee that we could never find. The course simply would not slow the ball down and the steep slopes on many of the fairways don't help.
That said, we found as many balls as we lost and just kept chugging away.
I would not walk this course this summer, but bring a gallon of water if you do. I still went thru 54 oz of water from the cart (and got 10000 steps). Drank another 64 oz when I got home.
Stay safe, stay hydrated and have fun. Haven't seen any rattle snakes, either.
Not a good experience
It’s a shame, this course has potential, but it needs a lot of love. Apart from being poorly marked (we gave up when we couldn’t find the 13th hole), the fairways are in terrible condition. The greens are okay, but there were a lot of unrepaired ball marks, especially on the par threes. Overall, it was a pretty crappy golf outing, and we won’t be going back with so many other courses to play around here.
