Did Not Meet Expectations

The course has great potential, but right now it's not in great shape. Tee boxes, especially the boxes on the back 9, are horrible. They're basically dirt and weeds. Greens are ok. Not awesome but not awful. Very slow and bumpy. Fairways are nice. No complaints about the fairways. All of staff at the course were very friendly. We teed off at 8:30 am and it was very hot & humid. We didn't see the beverage cart until hole # 16. After the round, we planned to grab a drink at the bar, but the bar was closed. One of the guys I played with said he had played the course a few years ago and it was great. He couldn't believe the dramatic difference between then and now. I would not recommend this course based on its current condition.

Super Duper Wicked Awesome

One of the best, if not the best, golf experiences of my life! Everything is amazing. Practice facilities, par 3 Playground, golf course, and staff.

I had, probably, unrealistic expectations before I arrived at the course. Everything about the course and amenities met or exceeded my expectations.

The course is very playable. The course can play pretty easy if you play from the forward tees but move back to the tips and you're in for an adventure. Definitely a second shot course and how good/bad is your short game course?

Special shout out to Matt in the pro shop, Micki in the bar/grill, Ellie at the shack right before the first tee, Kelsey at #12, and Bubba at #12...that man can cook some brisket!!! Devon our caddie was great!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. We didn't get to stay at the cottages this trip, but we're already planning for the next Bluejack experience!

Bring Your Big Boy Pants

Bag drop staff was very helpful. Pro shop guys were great. Craig, the starter, was both very helpful and let us tee off earlier than our actual tee times.

Incredibly nice course, but very tough. My brother and I played 54 holes from the green tees (~6800 yards). 600 yard par 5's but also some par 4's that were ~300 yards. Really fun and picturesque track. Highly recommended!!!!

I want to give a special shout out to the group of 4 old men in front of us and the group of 3 old men in front of them. You guys were both really bad and really slow. You should seriously consider giving up the game of golf or least move up three tee boxes. Watching you play golf was painful. It took us almost 5 hours playing behind you. It took us 5-1/2 hours to play the other 36 holes we played.

OUTSTANDING AWESOMENESS

In the 15 years my brother and I have gone on our annual trip, playing White Hawk Ranch was one of our best experiences.

Tad in the pro shop was great!!!! Thanks Tad. Keith was also very helpful. Marcie...we loved your heavy pours. Dennis the starter...the best starter ever. We played 54 holes at White Hawk and Dennis helped us out...a lot! He would let us tee off earlier than our actual tee time and he would speak with the groups in front of us and ask if we could play through. Thanks Dennis!!!!

The course itself was in great shape. Nice risk/reward holes. Challenging holes and definite birdie holes. Greens were in really good condition. I'd recommend this course to everyone. We also rented the Finn Cycles for one round...AWESOME!!!!

Great Course to Begin Our Trip

Plumas Pines is a great course! This was the first course my brother and I played during our 2020 brother's trip. Tee'd off at 1:10 pm and were able to easily get in 36 holes. We loved it!! A little smoky/hazy due to the fires, but not enough to impact our golf. Course was fun, easy to get around, and everyone at the course was very nice and helpful. We'd play here again.

Wicked Hot but Wicked Nice Golf

TPC Craig Ranch is a great track and golf club. Bag guys are very nice, pro shop staff are solid, starter is great, and the course is tough but fair. We tee'd off at 1:40 and I think the heat index was 297 degrees... The greens are in great condition. They're a lot slower than normal, but the course has to keep them a little fury to avoid killing the greens. Highly recommended track! I'm looking forward to attending the Byron Nelson in 2021, and to see how the course is set-up for the pros.

Awesome and Awesome!!

A must play...wherever you live. The course was in incredible condition. No golfers for the last 2+ months hasn't hurt. Tees, fairways, greens...very nice! My group of 4 didn't see another group for the first 13 holes which made the pace of play really nice. Then we got to the 14th hole and caught a group of 5. We waited on every shot on every hole from the 14th until we finished. Even so, we finished in about 4 hours. I'll definitely be back and recommend this course to everyone! All of the employees are friendly too...golf staff, wait staff, everyone!

Mountain Ridge - A Really Nice Track

Played the Mountain Ridge course on the last day of a buddies golf trip. Greens were fantastic. Not wicked fast but rolled very true. A nice break from the toughness of Arcadia Bluffs but still not a pushover course. All of the staff were very friendly and the practice area was nice as well.

South Course - Awesome!!!!

8 buddies on a golf trip thoroughly enjoyed the South course. Walked with caddies. Easy walk and a fun layout. Course and practice facilities were immaculate! Our caddies ( Travis & Ty) were really great. I’d definitely come back here again. My only complaint was that I requested individual caddies for each person in our group. When we checked in we were told we would only have 3 caddies. Only 2 caddies showed up.

The Bluffs - incredibly amazing but bring your A++++ game

8 buddies on a golf trip got beat up by The Bluffs. One of the nicest courses we’ve ever played in our 10 year golf trip history. With that said, it beat the crap out of us...twice. Especially the back 9. Also, pace of play is reallllly slow. The starter tells you the pace is 4:45 but it took us 5:20. Even with the slow pace, our group agreed we would return. Play the appropriate tees for sure. If you don’t hit it far, play the whites. Thanks Arcadia Bluffs for an awesome time!!!!

Played 36 at Mt. Kidd

I'll give the course a 9 out of 10. The only reason it's not a 10 is because the greens were a little shaggy, and there were still tiny holes in the greens from a recent aerification. Also, there are no beverage carts on the course. Mountain views are incredibly amazing!! Pro shop staff, bag drop & valet staff, and snack shack staff were all top notch. I'd definitely play here again.

Tough but Enjoyable

Old Corkscrew is incredible. All of the staff was extremely nice and friendly. Course conditions were great. You definitely want to play here in you're in the area. With that said, bring your "A+" if you plan to play this course.

We were paired up with 2 members, who were awesome (Mark & Doug) and helped us navigate the course. Hit your ball in the wrong spot and double bogey comes into play. Several risk/reward holes.

Pace of play was awesome! My buddy and I had a great time!

Raptor Bay - A Must Play

My buddy and I got hooked up with a helluva a deal, but Raptor Bay is worth playing even if we had paid the $154 green fee. Also, we were planning to play 36 holes, but we go rained out in the morning round.

This is a challenging course! Crowned fairways and raised greens. Pick your tee boxes accordingly. Pace of play was awesome!!

I'm glad we played it and I'd play it again if I'm back in the area.

We're sorry you didn't get to play 36 holes due to the rain but next time you're in the area be sure to come back for another round.

A Resort Course???? No Way!!!

With the exception of the greens, this is a pretty fair to mediocre course. We paid $116 and teed off at 2pm. $116 for this course...C'mon now! At 2pm this course should charge $60 or less.

Pace of play was good, but I won't come back here.

Pricey but Worth It

Tiburon's Black Course is extremely nice! The Pro Shop guys, the beverage lady, and our caddie (Mike) were all wonderful.

Yes, the course is expensive but you get what you pay for. We played several courses in area, and Tiburon was by far the nicest. I'll definitely come back here the next time I'm in the Naples area. Looking forward to playing the Gold course.

Nothing Memorable

This is just an ok course. It was our first course to play to start off our 4 day buddy's golf trip.

Pace of play was intolerably slow!!!! The course conditions were pretty good. Greens were nice.

We teed off at 2pm. The course was not worth $80. Maybe $60 after 2pm.

If we come back to the Naples area, we would skip this course.

Ridge - Pretty Fantastic

Another gem in Birmingham. The Ridge greens are very, very nice. Dramatic elevation changes and blind shots. My brother and I loved this course. Several holes will jump up and bite you if you're not careful. We would definitely play here again!!!!

Ross Bridge - Incredibly Amazing

My brother and I played 54 holes at Ross Bridge. The course is amazing. When you look at the course from the some of the tees, it appears like it goes on forever. Truly incredible! I give it an 8.5, but only because some of the edges on some greens weren't in great condition and they're doing maintenance on the #10 green. This is one of the most impressive courses we've ever played. If you're planning to play the RTJ Trail, this needs to be on your list!

Valley Course - Very Nice

My brother and I played 54 holes at the Valley Course. Great course!! Dramatic elevation changes and blind shots. On the day we played, the bunkers were not great. Very fluffy. There were several instances where we hit a ball into the face of the bunker and it either stuck into the face or buried completely in the sand. Also, no GPS in the carts and the pro shop doesn't sell yardage books. Overall, it's an awesome course.

A Must Play in Mesa

A very nice, forgiving course. Big fairways, but if you miss them you'll destroy your clubs try to hit off of the rocks. Windy conditions during our round. I'd like to play it again when it's not quite as windy. My group enjoyed ourselves. We'll be back.
