Out of the few options in the area, this is probably the best.

The course is in pretty good condition, most fairways were green with the rough turning yellow, the tee boxes were fair/good and the greens were pretty good but a little on the slower side. Bunkers were not good for the most part. This course is made up of three 9’s. The course is short as there are no par 5’s. Longer hitters such as myself can go for the green on plenty of par 4’s otherwise hitting a 5 or 6 iron off the tee. The par 3’s were surprisingly long for how short the rest of the course was. The practice area was good along with driving range with real grass, I would recommend this course as it’s the best option in the area.

Not great, not terrible

I can see how this course would be pretty nice if the conditions were good and maybe in spring when the trees are green but the whole course just looked depressing right now. For he tee boxes most in pretty rough condition, the fairways a mix of some decent to some very bad, the only bright side were the green were in pretty good shape. Bunkers were also very bad. The driving range was hitting into a hillside of dirt. The layout was good but I would be the conditions to be much much better for me to return to this course.

Views!

The course is pretty much recovered from all the aeration and maintenance, maybe 85-90% but they are still doing cart path only for a little while longer. The fairway on hole 1 looked a little rough and I was worried but rest of the 17 holes the fairs were pretty much immaculate. The greens are very fast and everything breaks towards the ocean, just trust that when putting even when it doesn’t look like it. There is a view of the ocean on every single hole and it was an absurdly amazing view! I wouldn’t say it’s worth the crazy high “normal” price tag but if you can get a deal, go play it! Only thing to watch out for, especially now when the sun goes down early, is pace of play. We teed off at 12:10pm and the sun was going down literally as we were walking off the 18th green. I think the slow play is due to everyone admiring the views/taking pictures and also don’t discount the fact that this is not an easy course, the fairways can be very tight on a lot of holes. You need to be hitting it straight or you’ll lose many golf balls. Yes the fairways sort of run back and forth next to each other on many holes but it’s tiered working it’s way from the top to bottom of the hillside so it’s not always easy to just go and hit your ball from another fairway. Shout out to Manny working out by the carts at check in, been there for 23 years I believe he said and it showed with the knowledge he provided and also set the mood for a great day of golf to come!

Very nice but…

Very nice but not worth the regular price tag of $150+ if you can get a deal on a tee time take it otherwise their are other courses in the area just as nice or slightly less nice for half the price. For the price they are charging this course should be immaculate and it’s not. The course layout is nice with some interesting holes and some extreme elevation change which makes for great views with vineyards all over, IMO you’re paying for the views on this course rather than the conditions. I would recommend this course if you can find a deal on a tee time otherwise check out other courses in the area.

Played Harding Park on the 4th of July, 12pm tee time. 3rd time playing this course and the conditions were the worst this time out of the 3 times I’ve played here. The tee boxes were very good but the fairways had some bizarre bare spots, not many but enough to be noticeable for sure, and the greens looked good but were almost “sticky” which obviously made them slower. The winds were not bad at all for Harding Park, picked to maybe 10mph at most. The layout is nice with the front nine going back and forth in the middle and the back nine going around the entire property. The fairways look wide but there is A LOT of rough on the sides and the actual fairways are narrow and hard to hit. Played from the Blue tees and I like to cut the ball which was difficult on some tee boxes with tree overhanging. The driving range is a little small (only 220 to the net) and not very wide, it’s also only mats, no real grass, the putting and chipping area is nice though. Overall I would recommend this course if you can get a deal on the price, the regular price seems a little steep to me, especially in the conditions right now.

Some tight driving quarters, especially from the tips, long par 3’s as well expect for 1. Course was almost in immaculate condition, tee boxes like carpet, great fairways, good sand and fast and true greens.

First time playing strawberry farms and was not impressed. I was excited because I heard good things but it did not live up to the expectations. The course conditions were good, not great, the layout is a little funky with completely different front and back nines. Overall I’d say if this course cut the price in half I think it would be a good value and I would recommend it but the current price at 100+ is not worth it, I feel like you’re paying for the waterfall feature on 18 ( it is a nice feature) but it’s a blind tee shot. Didn’t really use any of the off course amenities so can’t comment on that.

Layout and conditions

First time playing Old Greenwood did not disappoint! Awesome and fun course layout, fairways were wide enough but definitely tree lined on a lot of holes. The tee box and fairway conditions were pristine, the greens were rather slow but they did mention they were preparing them for the upcoming Barracuda Championship in July 2022 so they were growing them out a little which made them very slow in the morning with some dew but got to decent by mid morning. Overall would highly recommend this course for the great conditions and amazing mountain views!

Great course, course conditions were good, fast greens, nice fairways and tee boxes. Only thing that would make this course better is if they had a better driving range, (currently irons only) and also if would be really helpful if they had GPS screens on their carts because their layout has some blind shots off the tee if your using the back tees and also some forced lay ups where it would be nice to know the yardage.

Good but not great

I was expecting a really nice resort style course in great condition, what I got was an okay course layout with decent conditions. I would not pay full price for this course, glad I didn’t, not worth the money. It also has a lot blind shots from the back tees and some on your approach shots which I am not a huge fan of. There’s a lot of construction going on around the course right now so be prepared for some noise, looks like they are putting a bunch of houses in everywhere.

Thursday 1:40pm tee time we 2 other singles, we finished 16 holes before it got too dark just after 5pm, pace was okay, waited a few times on par 5’s. The weather was pretty good, cool but hardly any wind. Course was in fantastic shape. From the tee boxes the holes look decently wide but they shape the fairways a lot more narrow, I didn’t find the rough off the fairways too difficult. Driving range was closed for construction but they didn’t have a chipping and putting green available. I would highly recommend this course, it’s beautiful especially around golden hour when the sun is going down. Also, all the staff I ran into were very nice and helpful, 2 thumbs up TPC Harding Park!

No driving range, chipping area, putting green and likely no practice traps yet you gave a high rating? I guess I should ask; did the carts make it through a full round?

Insanely fast greens!

Teed off at 6:40am on a cold November morning (low 40’s) with 2 other singles. Course is very beautiful and great layout. Front 9 is in the valley with some vineyards and back has hills with big elevation changes. The green were in great condition and EXTREMELY fast, everyone in our group had putts or chips that seemed good but ended up rolling off the green, this happened a few times throughout the round. Make sure you make time to hit the practice green before your round and read all your putt very carefully, even the ones from a few feet. The tee boxes and fairways were lacking compared to the pristine greens, not anything too bad though, a few dirt/bare spots around the edges of some fairways. Would recommend playing here to PGA level putters, joking, but it seriously is the fastest I have ever played.

Great Layout!

This course has a great layout with amazing views! Fairways are decently wide, make sure you stay in them though or you will he paying the price. I played the combos gold and tips and didn’t find it too difficult in terms of length. All the par 3’s are pretty long but all but 1 are from super elevated tee boxes. I played as a single on a Monday morning 8am tee time and only passed 1 group in front of me. Only complaint is that some parts of the fringes on almost every green has bare dirt/browning on them. Didn’t bother me too much, would still highly recommend and will be back to play when in the Phoenix area!

Starboard

7am tee time midweek, light wind, very few people on the course. Views of The Chicago skyline in the background on some holes is amazing. Course was in great condition, would give it five stars if they paved the cart paths (Bumps and pot holes everywhere) and had better food at the shack on the turn.

Nayar Course

Had a tee time at 10:45am through Golf Now, arrived at the pro shop and was told the golf course was closed until 1pm because it was too wet from the rain overnight and in the morning. I was told I could check in now but if it began to rain again and they had to shut down the course I probably wouldn’t be able to get a refund from golf now because it showed that I checked in... I didnt really have any other choice so I checked in and ate some breakfast at the restaurant right next door to the pro shop (best chilaquiles of my life!) then checked in with the started and was assigned a Caddie, Luis. (FYI the caddie is mandatory and is 400 pesos for a single) Luis drove me to the range where I warmed up for an hour. The range is nothing special, neither is the putting green just a small green that is flat. Very first person on the course, teed off right at 1pm as a solo, finished in 2.5 hours. The course was surprisingly NOT that wet for the amount of rain it received. Not all but some of the bunkers however were unplayable because they were flooded with water. The course is pretty easy, I shot a 78 (and double bogeyed the last hole... smh) when I usually shot around 85. My caddie Luis was great, he would use a range finder and tell you the distance for every shot and was spot on reading the greens! Also saw lots of wildlife, multiple birds, iguanas everywhere, sometimes crossing the fairways, and even a small crocodile. Overall I would recommend this course if you can get a hot deal, in my opinion it would be overpriced to pay the regular rate. Staff at Vidanta we’re all very helpful and friendly, thanks for a great day of golf!

North course

Really nice course! I showed up about 20 mins late due to a delayed flight, pro shop employees were super friendly and got me teeing off within 15 mins! The course has some tree lined holes but also opens up and holes that look like a US Open with “fescue.” The bunkers had really nice soft sand, tee boxes were in really good shape, as well as the fairways. The greens were nice and were rolling really fast, I had a 12:30 tee time and it was around 90 degrees so they for sure dried out a little, light breeze, which was gladly welcomed on such a hot day. Great shop pro and restaurant as well. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Just Okay

This course is overpriced for a morning round. If you get the afternoon deal or 5 or 10 rounds deal where each round comes out to $25 bucks it is worth it but I don’t know if I would want to play this course 10 times.... it is very short, my brother and I started on the white tees and were almost driving the greens on every hole, moves back to the blue tees and still had under 100 yards to the pin. (Expect for the par 5’s). The course conditions were okay, fairs were not bad but not great either, greens were in decent shape... we played first thing in the morning so pace of play was great, but it was pretty cold. Overall I’d say it’s way overpriced and only play if you get a good deal.

Amazing Views

Played on a Saturday at 11:00 am and didn’t have to wait once. Amazing course conditions for February, it was sunny and 75 degrees out, very light breeze. Carts have GPS and preview of each hole. Course can be tricky, not very long, but some fairways are narrow. My only downsides are that there are only 2 par 5 and the driving range is irons only. Great course overall, would recommend for all!
