This is such a great track but the greens are in horrible condition. Most are dying, bumpy and unplayable.

Don’t waste your money. The greens are so bad and yet they are charging full pop.

This is a great, challenging but fair course. Tee boxes, fairways and greens we’re all in great condition. Like most courses here in the valley, the traps are really just dirt which makes for very interesting escapes green side.

I love playing the course but typically it is overpriced most of the year. Fall and winter rates make it better but there are so many choices of great course that offer a better overall value.

If you haven’t played Chardonnay, hurry up and do so, especially right now where the weather is the best and the rates match the value.

I loved, loved, loved the course and kick myself for not playikng the Emerald course as well.

The tee boxes, fairways, sandtraps and greens were all in fantastic shape. When you throw in the gorgeous ocean views and awesome landscape, it's easy to forget I just dropped 2 bills to chase a little white ball. No matter, this is my mecca.

You can definitely see a difference Troon is making to Hiddenbrooke. The most noticable is the drainage. Playing a morning round regardless of weather you could always count on puddles on certain holes . Those were gone.

Tee boxes are being rebuilt, currently #13 is in porgress so no 100 foot drop tee shot on to the par three. The greens and fairways were both in good shape. I'm not sure if it was by design but the rough was very long making it a lot tougher if you don;t find the fairway.

Wildhorse is a great track. Plus, it has the best drainage of any course around so if I want to play after a heavy rain, this is where I go.

The final two holes can make your round. A well placed tee shot on 17 provides an execellent eagle opportunity and 18 requires a nearly perfect drive to make par. Unfortunately, on this day, they broke me. I can’t wait to take them on again with, hopefully, a better result.

Awesome as always. This course is such a treat to play.
