Pretty nice

Overall, a pretty decent course. Although, they are obviously taking their time rebuilding the first and tenth holes (currently short par 3's - originally par 5"s). So, that's a bit of a downgrade of value. Otherwise, it's a nice track.

The course u see is not the same condition!!

Luckily, the course did not charge me! I only paid fee to golf now. I did not play after being so disappointed . The pics all over the internet are not the recent pics of course. The course looks as though they still have not repaired the damage from last years huge rain storm(hurricane). Very deceptive and very disappointed. Don’t be fooled!!

Storm Recovery

The course was hit hard by storms this past year and this has had a serious impact on the course. The 1st and 10th, which are both usually par 5s, were shortened to par 3s. It’s a nice layout, but the overall quality of the tee boxes, fairways and greens was a disappointment.

Not bad as many others say

1st and foremost. The starter Asha (hopefully I spelled that correctly), was great. Staff in pro shop were very nice and kind as well. Holes 1 and 2 were flooded in Hurricane hilary and they are now par 3's. The driving range was flooded as well. Yes, there are some dried out spots in the fairways, and the rough will eat your balls. Course greens were very nice. Greens were not bumpy, dry, or anything, Greens were rolling like any big course in the valley. Course was not packed, so we were not rushed on pace of play at all. Layout is tough, but overall, not bad for the price. If you can overlook the dead spots and no range, the course is actually a great value for the money!

This course had very poor signage and wasn't in good shape.

I will not be playing here again or recommend it to anyone.

Cathedral Canyon 16 hole golf course

1st and 10th holes pretty much useless / taken out in the wash. Got a deal on Tee off so it was good enough to give it a try.
