Terrible experience.

The course was in terrible condition. Tee boxes were practically unhittable. $42 for 18 holes is highway robbery for this course. Finished off the round by getting screamed at by the cracked out course maintenance man.

Awful conditions. Rude staff. Terribly slow pace. Not worth the money.

Its a Long Day

Played this course before and it is a great way to work on irons and short game. Just don’t play on the weekend behind a foursome and a twosome that have only played at Top Golf. Round of 4 hours and 45 minutes for a par 61. Ranger no where in sight. Gutted it out but will forget the weekends going forward.

Terrible Course

Possibly the worst course I’ve ever played, and I’ve played a lot. Tee boxes were all hard compacted dirt. Power lines and towers everywhere (hence the name Steel Canyon). Blind tee shots including an almost 200 yd par 3 where the green is hardly even visible. Cart could barely make it up a hill ( single rider 190lbs) and the brakes were shot coming down steep hills. I wouldn’t play here again even if it was free. Better off going to the range and hitting a bucket of balls.

Cheap and Convenient

Listen...you get what you pay for out here. If you want to go play some golf at a course nearby for cheap, this is your spot. Just make sure you don't spend anymore than $35 to play out here.

A bunch of terrible golfers out there and pace is bad. The layout is interesting...short course. Tee boxes are rough. Some have mats and others are just dirt.

Proshop Staff was rude and very unhelpful. The course was alright for the price. About what you would expect for that you pay. Course isn’t very interesting, but good place if you just want to get out and play.

Not impressed

The driving range is nice but the actual course was in rough shape. There was so much sand on the greens. The first five holes I was playing the course had people blowing out the sand pits. It was very aggravating. Maybe I’ll try again one day but it will not be anytime soon.

It’ll Do

It’ll work, but manage your expectations. If you’re looking for great views, well kept tee boxes, greens and clear signage to guide from hole to hole. We’ll. You might want to pick another course.

Not sure what those black specs/clumps were littering every green? Cart path sections washed over with mud and an sent Tee signs. Pace of play was on the slow side., kinda like GA 400 under construction - empty then jammed up.

Good executive course.

Interesting layout. Good track for the money, have never gotten paired up with another group to fill my foursome.
Greens in decent shape.
A couple of tee boxes were in rough shape.
Played from the black to make it worth while.

Short but sweet

Normally, I don't prefer short courses but this course has some challenging and idiosyncratic holes. Many of the par 4s are drivable, but misses will be penalized.
YOu won't be blown away by the greens yet they did roll pretty well....tee boxes look like rubbish, but this is the type of course you enjoy because of it's differences.
