Not everyone is a morning person I guess

Weekend AM opening staff is consistently rude. Like he'd rather not be there rude.
Not having enough electric carts doesn't help.
Help your guy out. Get more carts. Minimizing the bad news he has to give patrons would go a long way to helping everyone have a more enjoyable experience with the clubhouse staff.

Spring time course is great and green

The course is great in the spring time, as the hot summer comes along the course is still good but a little dried out. Plus they need to get more carts.

Perfect weather
Walked

Have played here several times, although it had been a while since the last time here. Pace of play was good, mainly because the course was not that busy. The course was muddy and had standing water in a number of areas (including some bunkers) also the rough was fairly high (4-6 inches). The greens were in rough shape mainly due to players not repairing their ball marks. I considered it a good value because it's $21 to work on your approach game (11 par 3's). Overall its a well used course (with a lot of beginner / less experienced golfers) that needs a littleTLC and good weather to improve conditions. The Beach Hut Deli located at the course is a good place to get a bite to eat and or beer after your round.

Hi ngauff! We appreciate you taking the time to rate our course. We’re always looking to improve and take our customer experience very seriously. You're right, it is wet and muddy out there in some spots still. Give us a few more days of good weather to dry out and a chance to mow some more and we'll be back in good shape. Hope to see you again soon when the conditions improve with some better golfing weather. We LOVE Beach Hut too! Thank you for choosing Cordova Golf Course.

Weather Beaten Conditions

The course proved to be weather beaten and very much a mud pit. Balls can be lost in the fairways due to soggy conditions causing the ball to plug deep. I walked the course and only completed nine holes of eighteen I had paid for that day. It was quite exhausting and disenfranchising to play in such poor conditions as high grass growth added to losing balls near the greens.
In my opinion, golf carts should not be allow to be utilized during these wet and soggy conditions. I could see damaging affects of the tire marks from those golfer whom had no respect for cart path only rules.
This course deserves more care than it’s been given (or lack thereof). The bunkers need attention and refurbishing. Cart paths need repair in certain areas from results of water collection.
I am certain that the staff knows all these defects and deficiencies, but have no authority, power or resources to do anything about it. The common phrase of what will be heard and resonates from these minions is “It is what it is….” The default statement of the mediocre minds. However, they will always be glad to take your money at the check-in counter. Find another course.

Swamplike and very muddy

Cordova is not very good after the rain. Very unplayable! Had to stop at 9 holes cause I keep losing my ball from water pooling everywhere.

Muddy Post-Storm Round

Course was extremely wet and soft after the recent rounds of storms. Balls lost or submerged on shots with any amount of loft. Soft course conditionals also don't allow for mowers to cut, so fairways extremely thick and provide no roll. Greens in OK shape, but also wet and slow.

Cordova Golf Course

This course is amazing. My friend recommended it to me because he always drives passed it and his family has recommended it to him before. I am still a beginner and this has been my favorite course so far. Lots of forgiveness for beginners because the fairway is extremely wide and there isn’t a lot of trees/ponds. This course also gives you the opportunity to use all of your clubs due to having the variety of Par 3/4/5’s. Will be going back!!

Not a bad course

It’s a fun course only problem is that they keep saying they are short on golf carts. An easy fix would be to order more so that it’s no longer an issue. A lot of people don’t want to walk and we don’t have a choice but too. Especially if theirs a tournament then for some reason no one can’t have any. The people participating in those tourneys they can walk they have feet. First come first serve basis

Improved pace today

Today’s pace of play was much better than the prior weekend. Good learning course, but with that in mind it appears that none of the other golfers have been taught how to fix a green divot or take a sand trap. Still, the course is in great shape.

Great place to learn, or hone your skills

Greens are in great shape, especially considering most of the patrons have not been taught how to (or possibly have not been told they should) repair ball marks. Similar with the traps, most have multiple footprint trails and shot craters in them. But it is a great learning facility that is shorter than regulation (most strokes happen from 150 yards in anyway on a full course), with a chipping/putting green, and a large range.

lack of etiquette makes the course unplayable

Arrived 30 mins early and was told it was wide open so i could start anytime. 15 mins before my tee time a high school tournament and a 4some had teed off which i had no problem with because I was graciously allowed to start at #10. By the time i got back to #1 a 2some of 2 old fogies took every possible moment to throw grass into the air and look over every shot right before shanking it into the chain link fencing. They could see they were holding up multiple groups behind them but that didnt stop them from inspecting every putt as if it were to win the us open. 15mins later i was cleared to hit off of #2. The last straw was when they moved to the next hole. Both stiff, white haired, older gentleman decided against promptly teeing off and began showing each other god knows what on their phones (probably photos of Marilyn Monroe and Bo Derek in their hay day) and proceeded to urinate in the bushes caring not that high school aged children populated almost every corner of the course at that moment. At that point i knew there was no chance to finish 18 in peace so i walked off the course. Ive never walked off the course before finishing a round in my 15 years playing golf. The short nature of the course and somewhat cheap fees attract players who have no concept of golf etiquette or even just civil behavior in general. Ill be avoiding twilight rates no matter the deal at Cordova golf course in the future.
