Challenging to the average golfer

Canewood is an excellent challenge to the average golfer. In the summer months the greens are lightning fast and very well maintained. The signature holes of this golf course are the Par 3 14th, Par 4, 15th and Par 5 16th which run along Elkhorn creek. These holes offer a challenge and a very scenic view. Overall I play this golf course 4-5 times per year and always love the challenge it presents.

Decent course for the public

Overall the course was fun to play. I must say I was a little disappointed in the condition of the Tee boxes and the cart paths. It was either broken up with pot holes or completely covered in dirt and mud. The tee boxes had a lot of divots that hadn't been fixed. There wasn't much signs offering any directions as to where to go. i got turned around twice and had to ask residents where holes were.

I only played 9 but shot fairly well for my skill set. Par 3's were good distances and the Par 4's can be birdied pretty easily if you hit a nice shot off the Tee.

I would recommend it for anyone looking to get in and play. But don't expect a beautiful course.

Hole 8 was supposed to be a par 5 by the course signs that are up on the cart path. To my surprise the T Box was out in the middle of the fair way and it had been turned into a par 3. That caught me a little off guard.

Fun to play

Only my 2nd time playing this year. Wanted to try a new course. The reviews were average but I really enjoyed the course. It was fast play, pretty decent conditions, and easy to find my ball. I'm a mid 80's kind of guy. Didn't even take a warm up swing or putt before stepping in to the first tee and shot a 91. 49 on the front was pathetic but 42 on the back once I got warmed up. I would recommend this course to any skill level. The biggest nuisance in golf is hitting a pretty decent shot and then not being able to find your ball- that wasn't the case here. Only lost one ball all day. The only bad thing about the course is you have to cross some neighborhoods getting to a couple tee boxes and there is absolutely no signage or arrows telling you where to go. Took us a few minutes to figure out... Other than that. It is a fun little course.

First time in a long time

A friend and I used to play this course occasionally, but as residential development increased in the area, we opted for other, more settled courses. So it was with some curiosity that I booked a round there with a different partner.

I was most pleasantly surprised. The course was in very good condition, except for the tee boxes, many of which were seeded recently. Greens were fast and in good shape as well. And only one hole appeared to have been altered since my last visit, this time by highway construction.

I would play here again without hesitation.

Tee boxes were being redone so the red tees were on slopes on most of the holes. Patches of fairway are missing on every holes. Most greens kept in good condition

good for the money

This is a nice course for a neighborhood course. The course was in great condition in some places, and new grass in others. I would stand strong with a 2.5 out of 5.

tee boxes

This is the first bad review I have ever written. Most of the tee boxes were dirt and being redone. Two things should have happened. First that should have been noted on golfnow,secondly the makeshift tees were not even mowed down. Atleast two fairways were being reseeded and no note of this. One fairway was shutdown(14 I think) and no note of this. Complained in clubhouse and expected some sort of compensation. No such luck

Tee #12 where are you?

Nice course - few obstructions on fairways, minimal number of bunkers, super friendly staff, quiet electric carts.

Negatives - greens have no fringe and are showing wear with patches around the outer edges, several blind shots down hills and around turns on the back nine, and lack of appropriate directional signage especially for #12.

Rough shape.

This course is in very rough shape. The greens are poorly kept. This course has really gone downhill over the past year or so. It's fine if you want to just hit some shots, but don't expect a lot.

not to par

I had not played this course this year but have many times in the past. Greens were ok but fairways were not good. Tee boxes needed to be mowed.

Some work needed

I used to play this course a lot but it has been a while. The condition of the fairways and greens were not in good shape. There needs to be some work done to the course to get it back to what I was expecting when I made the reservation.

Needs Some Work

It was acceptable for the price; however, there could definitely be some improvements. I had played here a few years ago or we would have had a difficult time finding the next hole on occasion. It weaves through houses and is not clearly marked where to go. The fairways were dry and choppy, but tolerable for the price. I think at least one of my playing partners will not return. The greens were fair, but some had bad spots making it difficult to keep a ball on line at times.

Under new ownership

Course was in rough shape, apparently it's under new ownership so it probably wasn't being cared for as well during the transaction. Hopefully it bounces back, was a hidden jewel.

Dissapointment

Spent $ through GolfNow to secure tee time & had to play through a group that was already on the tee... plus the staff was rushing us to tee off 5 minutes earlier than secured tee time due to tournament traffic making the turn. The greens were close to un-rollable due to fertilization & neglect. The majority of tees were spotty w/ bare spots & non-level marker positions. Fairways were decent. Rough was so thick, balls were extremely hard to find. Course has been in much better condition in the past. Dissappointed.
