Great Track, Great Condition, Cart GPS not good

The course is well maintained and the course offers reasonable difficulty, while still being fun to play. Play was slow after 9 holes, which turned a 3 hour round into 4 1/2. The GPS system on the cart stops on the cart path and tells you to get away from the water. We had to reset the cart probably 4 times on the last 3 holes of the El Dorado. When I called the pro shop, they are well aware that the cart GPS needs attention. Perhaps they should fix that as many people complained of the same thing. There were also 2 faucets in men's restroom, which did not work. They were also aware of this. This is a really nice facility and the course is well maintained. Just a few items kept it from a 5 star rating.

Nice Course. Long and Plenty of Water

First time playing Eldorado. Went out as a single and met a couple of nice guys who were also singles at tee box to form a threesome. The course was a lot longer than I expected and with plenty of water hazards throughout the course. The greens were in good shape and held shots really well after a little rain from the day before. The fairways were fine and starting to thicken after winter dormancy. Overall great course and I plan on returning.

Course layout is a lot of fun. Challenging course. Conditions of the fairways and greens aren’t the best, still would recommend.

Water, Water, Everywhere

Very enjoyable golf course. Lots of bumps, curves, and slopes in the fairways and greens. I personally have had issues in the past with hitting over water, but there is so much water here that I almost got used to it. I was playing with my son, and we kept saying that we would absolutely have to get my other son and nephew out to play it. A few fairways were cart-path-only but it’s still the rainy season so it couldn’t be helped. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and pace of play was good. The only thing that I didn’t like was that at every other course we play, we stop after 9 holes for rest and refreshment before playing the back 9. Here, you play the whole 18 before you get back to the pro shop, etc.
