Overpriced and underconditioned

Greens were very inconsistent, with some hard with others fuzzy and slow. Pace of play was poor,, waited on every hole.

Stunning Mountain Views

Got a "killer" deal on green fees, staff was very friendly and helpful. The course is mostly flat with generous fairway widths. Greens are average sized with smooth surfaces in good condition.
The club rental fee is $55 per set and didn't include any free balls. A small bucket of range balls was $6.

Disappointing

Greens in less than satisfactory condition. Roughs are rediculousy high and need to be lowered. Ladies t boxes too close to senior t boxes, making course too long for average women. Temporary green on # 12 should be closer to green under repair, so this par 5 would play near normal.

Temp greens ruined the round

5 temp greens were a huge disappointment. Closed greens were fine. No explanation why they were closed.

Course under repair, and slow play

There are several greens under replacement with temporary greens and one hole closed. The pace of play was slow and the course Marshall’s could not increase the slow groups pace. Since on time overall, although back nine was 25 min longer than par!, he felt he was not able to do anything. Always two groups waiting to tee off from 11 til the end. The rough was VERY deep and especially around greens. Looks like it hasn’t been mowed in days. Greens were slow but expected at this time of year. Layout on front nine is a bit boring but course is fun.

Excellent course, great staff, and great restaurant

The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The course is one of the most challenging and unique in the valley. Short, but you need to hit the fairway because the mature trees will make life difficult if you're playing from the rough. Great restaurant for lunch as well.
