Great course and Staff!

I love playing Hunter's Ridge. I tend to play 2-3 times a week there. It's my favorite course in the Cedar Rapids Area for the price. I normally can find tee times ranging from $12-25 on any given day on GolfNow! For those prices this course can't be beat. The normal greens fees are well worth it, too. But when you can be flexible wth your tee times getting those discounts is almost unbeatable. Nate and his Staff are great. Our Family has a memorial golf tournament every year at Hunters Ridge also, they treat all our guests and players extremely well and have the experience to make your golf outing outstanding. I recommend Hunters Ridge to all levels of players. Challenging holes, great course layout and well maintained greens and fairways.

Tough in the wind

It was a windy day. This course gets real tough on approach shots into the wind. I was fortunate enough to be paired with a very good player, Todd. He hit a 4 iron into a stiff wind 190 yard par 3, to land it 10 feet from the hole. A very impressive shot! Thanks for the memories Todd, enjoy your upcoming vacation trip.

Always enjoyable

Certainly one of my favorite courses. Nate and his staff have the right idea about golf---get people on the course at very reasonable rates and they will return! Good selection of snacks/food and a very fair test of golf!

Great condition for November

This course was in great condition. Greens were rolling nice. We were between two groups of 5, which really slowed us down. The overall experience was good. Looking forward to next time, if the weather holds out!

Best course in Cedar Rapids/Marion

This is a great golf course, but it is difficult. The front 9 is a little bit easier but the back nine is as tough as you could want.
Conditioning is usually very good with quick greens. Pace of play depends on when you go. The rangers are hardly ever seen and if you do see them they don't do anything.
This is a great value for the nicest course in the area. And the pro is the finest gentleman you will meet.

Great layout. Difficult but not too hard.

The course is usually in excellent condition and is definitely worth the green fees. They have a great dew sweeper deal until 11 AM on weekdays.

Always a challenging course

This is one of the nicer courses in this area. Always a challenge. We found the greens to be in mediocre condition. They must have had an outing earlier in the day, and the folks who played in it did not repair their divots to well. The previous hole plugs really hampered the track of your putts if they were in your line.

This course has an interesting layout

This course has a nice variety of holes. It has a good mix of long and short holes. The greens were in very good condition with enough contour to make them fun to putt. Play was a little slow but was tolerable. I plan to come back and play it again soon.

Hunter's Ridge never disappoints

First Time Playing

Front nine gets you warmed up for tight challenging back 9.

Overall course was is in good shape for early August and only being a week post from the Greater CR Open. Greats were a little beat up and had some kill spots. A fairly open front nine gets you warmed up for a tight challenging back nine. If your driver isn't straight, put it away and hit an hybrid instead. Traps are positioned in strategic locations to make the course more challenging and the sand is a heavy sand, I know because I played out of at least 6 of them.

Good value

Played on Father's Day after several inches of rain fell the previous day. Traps were washed out and full of water. Course was wet and cart path only and the fairways were a little shaggy. Despite that we had a great time. The greens were nice and rolled true and we only payed $34 so it was definitely worth that. I have always liked Hunters Ridge for its fast greens and variety of holes that encourage shot shaping and trajectory. Course conditions have deteriorated somewhat over the past few years but I will give them a pass this time due to the torrential we have received recently.

Couldn't pass up the deal...

18 holes and a cart, got a great price, so can't really gripe; however I have seen their greens in better conditions before. In all fairness though, it's been a wet year and I'm sure the course has gotten a lot of play in those conditions. They were doing some green
maintence that day.
Also got behind 2 fairly slow groups, so as a twosome we had plenty of time to study our next shot.
Overall, Hunter's is great course to play!

Great Course

This is by far the best public course in the Cedar Rapids area. Always in good condition and if people would fix their ballmarks on the greens the greens would be great. The back nine will eat your lunch if you aren't hitting it straight.
