Great track

One of our favorites. It's not in perfect condition but for a semi private course that gets a lot of play it is 5 star for us. We happened to catch a great tee time and played at our own pace. Every hole is fun and unique. Highly recommend

Another great round at Cedar Rock

I mean the golf course is great. Not my round. But not playing so much lately so I got what I put into it.

The only thing I saw was the fairways still need to come out a bit with grass but that should happen later in the season. Greens are running well. Maintenance is trying to stay ahead of all the spring seeds and pollen getting on greens and bunkers, But this is a great layout every hole is interesting. Highly recommend.

Love it or leave it

This is my favorite course. For those who have opinions about such things its definitely a love it or hate it place, And all of that revolves around the design. As Alice Cooper once said, if you try something and it works out you are a genius, if it doesn't you're an idiot. No disrespect to Mike Strantz, but some of us (including my buddy and I) go with the genius, but understand how opinions could vary.
As to the basics, course is almost always in good shape, Alan and all are helpful and everything you would expect. The part nobody can change is that it is a unique and challenging course out in the middle of nowhere. As for me, if I lived in the area I would be a member and play there most of the time. Some others I have talked to are "one and done."
As to GolfNow, we played it last time for $16! You gotta try it for that even if it does beat you half to death. Bring plenty of balls(of course you may find as many as you lose!), tee it up and good luck!

Play here quiet a bit

Well worth $17. They are really trying to get this course up and running. New nice clubhouse. Lot of maintenance work going on. Its been through a lot of ups and downs the last six years I have been playing it and I understand that has been true for its history. It is in the best shape now I can remember it. If you haven't played it in a while, come check it out. Think you'll see improvement.

Nice round on vacation

Its really two different courses with front pretty wide open and a tight back. 12 was fun (55 yd elevation change!) and beautiful view. Left side is more open than you can see from tee. Course drained well considering how much rain we have had this summer. It was cart path only so be ready to walk (and hike!) if you go during this season. Greens roll well and receptive. River Islands is also a lot of fun but this course lot more convenient if staying in PF. Mats and nets for warm up, but nice chipping and putting areas. Bring a camera AND bug spray! Nice clubhouse and staff. Will play again. Be careful off tees on back!

Even after all that rain....

This is not the most interesting course (especially compared to the Jones), but it was holding up really well considering we have been under a flood warning for about a week. Golf now makes it worth the money. Its fun. Nice day of golf. Greens were particularly in good shape.

Well, this is interesting

In a way its a really nice course, in other ways, to quote deputy Barney Fife, its "a blonde in bottle." Having played it for the first time with a twosome who had also not played the course before, I spent a fair amount of the day dealing with unplayable lies which are available almost every hole just outside the rough. If you stay in the fairway or first cut, then no problem. Lots of fun. Outside of that, it is either hay field or forest. And I don't mean woods! And of course extreme elevation changes. Glad I went with golf now for the discount. If I had paid $75..... I do plan to go back and with course knowledge might have a better time. To sum, in lots of ways its a really nice course, but off the track its a cow pasture or forest. As others have said, the views are incredible and the best part of the round (for me this time).
