Great condition

This course is not for the faint of hart. Well maintained large greens that have some roll also you must place shots and several blind shots. Make it hard for the player that doesn’t play on a regular basis
I would play here again

Consistent

In terms of staff, friendliness, pleasant business demeanor, consistent. Course condition and lay out near perfection, consistent. Have played the course for several years, and relocated downstate however have brought up friends and family, from scratch golfers to bogey golfers and just about everything in between always had fun and been treated the way a customer would appreciate being treated. Will always make the trip up north at least twice a year and unfortunately with the unique health circumstances probably that's all we'll be able to do. However it's always on the must playlist, and if you can only make it up for one annual trip do it in the early fall, and for a challenge play the Power,

Always A great experience

The course always provides a great challenge on a beautiful layout that is taken well care of. The course can play as tough as you like with your choice of the five tee boxes. The staff is friendly and has always provided great service.

Lack of Ranger

This was our first time playing this course which we drove 75 miles out of our way to do. The course itself is very nice. The problem we had was the lack of a Ranger on the course. We had a group of 12 guys out to have fun which I'm all for. They were playing a scramble very slowly. The problem was twice we had guys drive back down the hole they had just finished just to have shoots with their buddies. This brought the course to a standstill. What made it worse was the cart gal was there providing the drinks and watching it happen. A couple of holes later we drove up on them again on the tee box and the cart gal was hitting all four guys tee off shots. Being a weekend in August I would expect more from a top notch course. Won't drive 75 miles out of my way again.

Great course-great deal

Played Arcadia Bluffs the day before, preferred to play ELDORADO. We play Eldorado every year because it's a great course with 5 sets of tees, great greens and the staff is phenomenal. Every hole is different nothing seems to be tricked up to make play more difficult and slower. Practice green perfectly mimics greens on course. Great clubhouse ambiance and good brat at reasonable price. The only thing I regret about writing this review is that I don't want the course to be too crowded next year when we return!!

Great round

First time to play this course and enjoyed it very much. Played 18 and added another nine for a great price ($15) . The course is in fantastic shape , loved the layout and choice of tee. You need to be a great putter as the greens a huge, fast with lots of break.

The greeter started the wonderful day with his friendly welcome, knowledge and assistance.
The pro shop is welcoming, professional and friendly.
The grill at the turn is so accommodating and the food was great.
The course is in excellent condition and offers tee for any level.
I would highly recommend the whole club experience to anyone.
Thanks again; job well done !

BLIND SHOT GOLF

Dont' play here. 15 good holes. Three holes have bad blind shots where the reeds come into the fairway or you cannot see where fairway runs out. You cannot drive up to see this because of the bad narrow bridges, that could fall apart at any second and no place to turn around if you came back to your tee. Plaques that say how far it is to a hazard are grossly incorrect. Some didn't even have a hazard that the plaque said it did! Gimic golf! Single digit handicappers don't like to lose balls with straight hit shots! DON'T PLAY THIS COURSE!

Take a book

If you enjoy 7 hour rounds then you'll like this. We played the first time and tried to speak with a Ranger about the EXTREMELY slow play who suddenly had to be elsewhere. Spoke to the Pro afterwards who was very belligerent! Gave it another shot later and another 7 hour round. WAY too overbooked to have a good time without waiting on EVERY shot. WILL NOT BE BACK!

Pace of Play

The pace of play at Eldorado was terrible. It took my partner and I over five hours to play 18 holes. No rangers in sight. Play behind us was a group of six men who played loud music, swore constantly, appeared to be intoxicated and acted unsafely by loading four people on golf carts and did golf cart drag racing.
