Horrible course

For starters, they never have anyone in the pro shop so if you call to check if they’re open or not you’ll never get an answer. You have to pray the restaurant is open and ask them, hoping they can actually answer said question. Course is in poor condition, staff doesn’t care about it and they’re not trying to change these things. Absolutely not worth the money.

best cow pasture for golf

try's to pass itself as a golf course but its really a cow pasture with some ugly greens. no one on course because everyone knows its condition and they are trying to pass themselves off as a golf course. this is the worst course since i last played rio vista, now the second worst. don't waste your money or time to drive to course.

Seen better days

Dry and in need of a lot of maintenance. Was once well maintained and cared for. Had to move ball to rare patch of grass remaining to hit the ball instead of destroying clubs. Dead standing trees in a lot of locations that could be cleaned up. All sand traps are now weed patches. Greens are patches of grass. Up side, it was only $20.

Beautiful Day at Mace

They have really improved the course over this last year. While it is not perfect, rough fairways/sand traps with weeds, the greens are decent, and it is much better than it has been. We really enjoyed this course and will be playing it regularly. This course is just beautiful.

Course is in Renovation

Had to play the back nine twice to get in 18 holes. The front nine are under repair, The whole course appears to be in renovation. Fairways are rough and bumpy. If you just want to come out and hit the ball around it's ok. I'm hoping once they get everything repaired and done it will a pleasure to play there again. It is beautiful there. The weather was awesome.

Mace Meadows G.C.

Mace Meadows G.C., was a delightful course to play. Even with the course re-seeding of the fairways I saw the greens in good shape. I can tell the owner of this course really cares for the course improvement. It’s a hidden gem that need to see and play!

Repairs Being Done

I love this course because of all the beauty around it. The course is in repair,. Right now the fairways are pretty much dirt and grass clumps, They have removed alot of trees and are in the process of cleaning out their ponds. Some of the greens have damage. Still, had a great time!

Repairs Being Done

First of all this is a beautiful course. The owners are in the process of repairing a lot of things. Once they get it all done this will be an awesome course. Right now some of the repairs are a little challanging, but still it's beautiful here and the views are worth the price you pay.

Beautiful course

My friends and I recently took up golf and we decided to try mace meadows. It is a gorgeous course and the staff couldn’t be friendlier. We can’t wait to head up there again.

The course is being upgraded and is in repair. We love Mace and when it's through being upgraded it will be awesome. But right now not so much.

Disgrace to be on GolfNow.

Not much to say about this place. GolfNow should not list this course yet. The pro shop staff didn’t seem to be interested in the golf course and one of the owners was the most unprofessional and unfriendly person. Of 24 years of playing the game, practically all over the world, Asia, South Pacific Islands, and Europe, we’ve had the the most horrendous experience at this course. The only thing good about the course is the natural scenery and the animals and birds. Sorry but no recommendations for the course unless the owners have been changed and some miracle happen.

One and done

Paid $30 which was $29 too much. Worst course conditions I have ever played. Greens were sandy and slow, but somewhat true - 5/10. Tee boxes were really bad - 1/10. Fairways pretty bad too 3/10. In fairness: It was January, the weather was nice, pace of play was good, and the manager was friendly.

Target Golf Practice Round

Enjoyed the course for the price. Tee box were a little hard, Being a mountain course expect patchy grass areas in some of the fairways. So you will want to play target golf with lift and place. Greens were relatively in fair to good condition ball rolled nicely.
