Slow slow slow

I played this course again this week after playing several weeks ago , SLOW SLOW SLOW , slow number 1 the pace of play was painstakingly slow 3 hours and 45 minutes in and still have 5 holes to go we called it a day , no ranger to try to keep the pace of play, as many as four groups on one hole waiting we started play at 1:45 , to make the the waiting worse we never saw a beverage cart , slow number 2 although the greens were in great shape after the horrible shape they were in a year ( they did a great job getting them back) the rolled extremely slow always have been, slow number 3, at the turn we stopped to pick up a drink from the club house God knows we had enough time with three groups on the 10th tee box , it took 15 minutes for us to get a drink , we were at outside bar and a bartender with zero personality looked at us several time while she messed around with some glasses under the bar 🤷‍♂️finally had to ask if we could get a drink please, still 2 groups on her tee box ! On the plus side they have a great range membership program for a good price also we stopped in the bar to drowned our slow sorrows and order a pizza to go , pizza was great , live music , beer was cold bartender had zero personality! We will be back for food and range golf not so sure to play golf last three round over 5 hours !

Challenging But Enjoyable Course

I had 4 cousins from Montana that have only been able to play on a simulator for the last 4 months. The each said it was the best course they had ever played. We had two foursomes and played best ball to maintain the pace of play. Everyone had a great time and the staff was very courteous. One of the cousins brought his son, so we had to rent an extra cart, but it worked out just fine.

Greatly Improved

We have played Cimarrone for over four years. During the past year the new owners have invested in the course conditions as well as restaurant/bar. Prices have also risen because the investments, but it’s worth it.

Fairways and greens were in excellent shape.

Improved a lot

There were a few tee boxes that were really bare. Fairways were in great condition. Greens were slow but very playable. Overall, they’re definitely making some great improvements. Will be back again.

Could Be A Great Course

As a player you can't help noticing a few course condition issues that distract from a great layout. First, the pluses. The tees were in good condition and grassy. The fairways were in good condition and fast. The greens were in great condition, held good shots and putted true. What distracts and perhaps the average player is the water that appears on virtually every hole. While what will distract and negatively impact their performance are the bunker traps which lack sand. Grooming silty dirt is not the same as well groomed sand. And not putting sand in the bunker traps is not the same as having waste bunkers and not something you characterize as being an attribute of a "links" course.

I played here many times they have made significant improvements over the past year. The greens are particularly good. The price has gone up significantly, but I guess it’s worth the improvements.

Great layout and very challenging

If you don't like a challenging golf course with lots of water and sand, you might want to look elsewhere. If you do, you will miss a well-maintained course that will challenge your game. Other than a few wet areas due to irrigation issues, the course is well maintained. The fairways are very lush. The only thing keeping this from being a five-star rating is the speed of the greens. They were very thick and slow. Otherwise, this was an excellent track.

Great Place to golf.

Love this course! All the greens, tee boxes and fiarways were in great condition. The reason I didnt givw it a 5 was the golfcart. Very controlling cart mafe play somewhat longer, slowing us down on the cart path when it was unneccessary.

Course is getting better

Greens in good shape but still very slow. Great layout. Fairways are good as well as the tee boxes. It's worth signing up to play a round....

Best condition in years

Some of the tee boxes could use smoothing/flattening and are beat up in places, but the rest of the course is in the best shape I've seen it in years. Grass on every green! Slow greens, but consistent and roll well. All the remodel work looks to be done, clubhouse and restaurant look great.

One of the reasons the play at Cimarrone might be slow is because at Cimarrone if you hit a bad shot, you lose a golf ball.
It is an extremely challenging golf course, and certainly worth playing!
