We had a group of 12 for a guys weekend of golfing. We had arranged tee times several months in advance with agreed upon green fees. The pro shop staff was less than hospitable and came across irritated that we had a discounted rate. They overcharged the first person and then the coordinator in our group mentioned the group rate and he claimed there was nothing he could do. I've already processed it....and just stared at us. Ended up giving us range tokens for the difference. Everyone in the facility acted as if they were new, untrained, and lost, with a complete lack of any sense of customer service.
When we got on the course the only pleasant personality was the drink cart girl. We were harassed by Craig (the Marshall) telling us to speed it up; that groups behind us were calling him complaining about slow play. We later asked about that and were told the GPS units on our carts would advise us if we were playing behind schedule and not a single cart had that notice.
Another employee at the course later admitted that Craig is always a jerk and he just wanted us to speed up because he wanted to go home early.
The course was in good shape and a very nice layout but the service and treatment completely ruined the experience. I would advise to steer clear of this place until some wholesale staff changes are made.

We had a group of 12 for a guys golf weekend and the staff at Iron Bridge was beyond accommodating. They were gracious when we checked in and took great care of us throughout our round. The course was in great condition (we did encounter a some inclement rain) and the layout was challenging but fair. Beautiful views as several holes run alongside the river. There are 4 holes up in the mountains that are removed from the rest of the layout, but they were very beautiful and added character to the course. I could see where some might find them quirky, but I enjoyed it. All in all, I'd give it an A+ and will definitely play here next time I'm in the area.

Have played this course 10 or 12 times and the course conditions are always good. That said, the area is consistently windy and the course design calls for well placed and executed shots with steep penalties for misses. Some fairways are wide and more forgiving while many are narrow. The rough is fairly narrow bordered by thick, unplayable brush throughout. Missing the fairway by 10 yards will more often than not lead to a lost ball. Premium is on placement and keeping the ball in play. Greens are undulating and generally roll good. Higher handicaps will find this to be a frustrating track and may run out of golf balls but better players will enjoy the challenge of being rewarded for good golf shots.
