Mountain Vista Golf Club - Santa Rosa Course

My experience with the garbage operation of this golf course was extremely disappointing. After taking the time to make a tee time and bringing along a friend who had taken a day off work just to play golf, we drove 90 minutes to the course, only to discover that we could not play.

The frustration began when I learned, upon arrival, that rain had damaged part of the course, rendering the front nine unplayable. What added to the disappointment was that this crucial information was never communicated to me during the reservation process over the phone. Additionally, the course failed to contact me before the scheduled tee time to notify me of the issue.

Upon reaching the course, we were informed that we could play the front nine at full price, but there was no guarantee that we could play it again due to the course being busy. The lack of proactive communication and the indifferent attitude of the staff in the golf shop further exacerbated the situation. It was evident that they couldn't care less about the inconvenience and frustration we were experiencing.

To make matters worse, my friend had taken a day off work, investing three hours in commuting, only to end up not playing golf. Personally, I wasted time and gas on the same futile endeavor. Needless to say, I would never consider playing at this course again, given the poor management, lack of communication, and overall disregard for customer satisfaction.

Always in great condition and friendly staff. Water and ice available in several locations. Greens were true. Pace was a bit slow due to one slow-paced foursome, however the day was nice enough that we still enjoyed the round.

We were informed by the starter as we were about to tee off that it was the second day that the course was open and that carts were cart path only. Personally I don't mind the extra walking, depsite the fact fairways are wide amd cart paths are not close to where you would want your ball to end up. However, I really dislike not having the right club, and what it does to pace of play. This was not disclosed at booking or at checking in. We would have booked somewhere else had we known.
The course itself is nice, can be forgiving, and is well maintained. Will likely play again when carts have full roam.

Played on the last day before the course was to be shut down for reseeding. Definitely needed it. Greens were hard and dry. Half the course was very dry. Layout was ok. Very gettable course, but was not satisfied with the course for how much I payed. Drives would leave me with a LW in, but lie would be on a dry, hard, patch of fairway. Not gonna lie. Felt a little ripped off. DW down the street was a much better course for the price. Staff was great, very welcoming and friendly. Range employee deserves a raise!

Despite getting the course ready for overseeding, the greens and fairways were in great shape. All in all a great outing and will definitely return.

We had an amazing day. Right from the check in to unloading our clubs! Worth every penny!

A fun course to play but pace of play can get bogged down. There's Marshalls but they don't real push people.
