Pace of Play was slow

Usually the pace of play is good at Shadow Glen, but not on Monday. Seemed like one group was holding up three other groups and nothing was done about it. The pace picked up on the last three holes, mainly because that other group finally finished. Guess they didn't know how to play ready golf.
I like the course overall, greens are not as good as I have seen them in the past, hopefully they will fill in with the warmer weather. At least it does look like work is being done to get the course into shape.

Sad state of affairs

Once one of my favorites, this place has fallen to pieces. When they came back from the precipice of failure 8 years ago, I was the biggest champion of this course. It’s a fun and flexible layout, used to have a chill vibe - with people that cared about the quality of the experience and the quality of service.

That’s all gone now.

If you do decide to book a tee time here, call - ask them which greens have grass on them. Even while they’re holding the phone they can use one hand to count.

Nice layout. Greens were rough. Pace a bit slow. I played right after lots of rain and course was flooded in places. Enjoyed the course overall.

Some interesting holes.

The greens were in poor condition - infested with an odd grass that caused the ball bounce and go off line.

Pace slow 4.5 hours due to a slow threesome and no ranger.

We have been treating the poa pretty aggressively and it is almost entirely gone now. After the harsh winter freezes, the bermuda went completely dormant and the poa was able to establish. Sorry that you had a poor experience. We would love to have you back again now that everything bounced back.

Terrible Greens

Greens are awful and not maintained. Over priced for the course conditions. Go to Star Ranch GC up the road for a better experience.

Nice Course - Greens Terrible

I liked the course. Nice layout and it was in good condition except the greens. Obviously the cold had killed most of them. Nothing but sand, mud and weeds. It will be a while before they can be recovered.

Good track; needs time to recover from weather

Really nice layout. Course has taken a beating from the rain and the inconsistent temperatures. Greens were a mess, but just needs a little time and warmth for the Poa Annua to die out and the Bermuda to recover.

Marshall

Played the Saturday before Easter and the staff was incredible besides their one marshall. I get that our group was slow but you do not need to threaten to kick us of the course for being a few minutes behind. Also if you are going to warn us don't yell from your cart while we are putting on the third green and then drive off before we can say anything. I would not be coming back if it wasn't for the other staff members being so great and the course being insanely fun. Side not that pizzas is INCREDIBLE.

Great course

I’ve played here several times and loved it. This time was a little different. I’m not gonna hit it with a bad review, but the green’s definitely needed some love. It’s missing quite a bit of grass. Fairways were pretty hard and lots of missing grass. I’d still recommend playing here since I know they will be maintaining it and getting it back up to where it was. Very challenging, lots of water. Beautiful scenery.

Pleasant surprise

This was a great course to play. Surprising layout and difficulty. Greens had been sanded and unpredictable but I would happily play the course again. Minimal food options. Evidently they will have a food cart this week.

Goat Ranch

Course was in the absolute worst condition I’ve seen. Looked like they hadn’t watered the course in months. Playing off of dirt mostly. Bunkers were hard as a rock.
Limited carts. Life’s too short to play golf courses in this kind of shape.

the starter at the course gave us the bad news that the greens are in bad shape and some would be un puttable. this would have been good to know at time of booking and paying that high price for poor conditions.

Greens are terrible

Course is in awful condition. Weeds all over the green that constantly moved my ball like a pinball machine. Fairways were comparable to a dead lawn. Constantly hitting off of dirt and mud in the fair ways. Tee boxes were nice though. Do not recommend playing here.

Course was in rougher shape than usual

I have played the course many times and it was not in as good condition as I usually expect it.
May still be recovering from the winter freeze, but seemed lack of water on fairways was an issue and greens were bare and bumpy in spots.
To their credit, appears measures are being taken to correct situation. One green was considered temporary as it was being dressed. So may want to check on conditions before playing to avoid disappointment.
