Fun, but showing its age.

Mission Trails has a fun layout, especially a back 9 that almost feels like a mountain course. But the course is poorly maintained... dead fairways, thin bunkers, etc. It plays very short for a full length track at 5900 from the blues. I don't mind that so much, but it's definitely a throwback. The clubhouse is old and offers little more than a bathroom and a check-in. The tee boxes are beat. It kind of feels like the course is just being let go.

It's one of the cheapest full length courses in SD, and there's always fun to be had with the layout. But it is aging. Some TLC could make this decent course into a great course, but you have to trade that off against the $50 green fees.

Great course.

This was my first time playing here. The course layout is excellent and challenging. The scenery is very tranquil. The staff was very friendly. The only negative was that there was a group who cut in front of us who was delaying our pace of play

Course is going the wrong direction

I've golf at MT over 300 times over the last 25 years. Not being there in 7 years and coming back was a disappointment
It's always been slow, expect five plus hours every time you play.
They also don't allow dogs.

Always fun

The course difficulty is awesome. The greens lack upkeep. Fairways are decent on most holes. Pace of play was good for most part. Will play again.

Fri 4/22 at Mission Hills

2:40 tee time at Mission Hills, course is in OK shape and pace of play was great, only had to wait briefly on a couple holes. $22 green fees can't be beat, fun course to play every now and then..

Ok course

Carts are old, Seats were ripped up, no electronic scoring.
Course was ok but needs trimming in lots of places.
