Awesome customer service

Challenging courses. Customer service is awesome. Pro Shop, beverage cart, cart return, restaurant personnel - everybody is friendly and welcoming.

10 minute tee time intervals would help with pace of play. Course is so busy and popular that there is a lot of waiting between shots.

Greens still rough, mostly due to winter freeze. Fairways still spotty. No on course water in 100 Degree heat?

We played on Sunday with an early tee time.. played in a little over 3 hours. Course was in great shape even though the greens had been recently punched. They putted smooth and fast. Loved the course. We also played the Lake course in the afternoon. Course was also in great shape and the greens were fast and smooth. Would definitely recommend these two courses to anyone.

A Bit Disappointed

Got in 5 holes here two weeks ago (Friday before Memorial Day) before the lightning and heavy rains sent us packing, and the greens showed signs of having previously being aeriated so I was expecting them to be much more playable for this round. Not the case at all on the Links course. As one in our foursome said, “This is like putting on corduroy!”. It was as if they had aeriated and sanded the greens again. It was anyone’s guess as to how the ball was going to roll. The fairways were thin as well. Squaw Valley is one of my favorite places to play and this was probably the worst conditions I’ve experienced here ever. It was disappointing too because this was the first introduction to SV for one in our foursome. It would be nice if they would let you know beforehand (maybe under the “News” section of their website) that they’ve recently aeriated.

the greens were aerated a few days ago and were rough!

Except for recently aerated greens the course was in good condition and is well maintained. In about two weeks the greens should be close to perfect.This is a very nice golf course, probably my favorite.

First Time Playing

Squaw Creek Saturday

We played the Apache Course. Greens were rough in places but overall very nice course. There are some tough water holes, and some open holes with nice scoring opportunities with forgiveness. Very nice challenge for the average golfer. Great little cafe at the turn with an awesome chicken salad sandy. Great friendly local staff.

Getting Better

Have this played this course a lot since April due to getting time off for work. Back in April it wasn’t in great shape, but now the course is turning for the better. The greens on the Links Course are in way better shape than April. The first couple of fairways on the front 9 are a little thin, but then the fairways get into great shape from holes 4-18. Glad to see the shape of the course is getting back to its old ways. The range turf is some of the best I’ve seen in a while.

Apache links

Course was in excellent condition. Best course I have played in TX this spring. Fairways were in great condition, Lies were a little tight. Greens were a little bumpy - weeds. Fairly fast w/o weeds.

I will play this course gain

Apache Course

The course is well kept and has interesting features. Squaw Creek runs through it on several holes and presents an attractive site. The Tee boxes are set up so that no matter what your ability or age, there is a n appropriate place to tee from. I look forward to playing the Comanche course next. I'll definitely come back next year when I come back through here. I had not played in over 5 years and thought I would be doing good to break 100.

Two very nice courses

We played both golf courses over one weekend. They are very different. One being a links style layout and the other features more trees and water. Each course is challenging and we’re in very good shape. The staff was great and the prices were very reasonable. We are planning to make it a once a year Weekend get together.

Not so Fast!

The highlight of the day was seeing a golf all time great at the range - Tom Watson.... In the past this has been one of my favorite courses to play, but the greens made this rating less than stellar! Too many weeds - no roll, always jumping around!

GONE DOWNHILL

This course used to be amazing. Haven’t played here since May of 2020 but decided to catch a hot deal today. Bad move. POA is out of control causing the greens to roll similar to a gravel road. Fairways had more clover than Ireland on St. Patties day. Tee boxes were in terrible shape, some with no grass on them at all. Really wish I would have took some pictures. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price for a round or I would have gotten my money back. MAKE SQUAW VALLEY GREAT AGAIN!!
