Challenging greens

Tough greens which was fun and the bunkers were in good shape. Fairways were not the best. Played four other courses so far this trip. This course was most expensive and worst shape.

Worth an annual trek to the mountain

On a hotdeal this works but at regular rates.... not so much. Has to be tough conditions to keep a course in top shape with the year round weather so you can't expect a perfectly maintained course.... and it isn't. Greens are slow and bumpy. Traps are below average. Aprons are a mess and the fairways are extremely bumpy but it is a beautiful place to spend the day.

Hate following a tournament...

Tournament day and evidently they had some late additions so we get backed up 20 plus minutes for our tee time then a five plus hour round with no marshalls etc on the course. Also power cart prices run 20/rider (higher than most) and if you are a single it's 25 to ride even though you can ride double.... pandemic has good to some industries including golf courses and these guys are taking advantage.

Going downhill

Played north course 2 days before.... not as good as shape as last year but not bad. South side was in bad shape though just like I had heard. Won't be going back. Fairways were terrible and greens were not consistent. Course is challenging which thought was ok if it was in good shape but my wife (13 hdcp) hated it. She will never go back... I will have to hear it has improved. Bottom two round of our stay (12 rounds).

Difficulty Extremely Challenging

Wet course!

Just not a good winter course. Very soggy. Lots of mud and goose poop. Tough course when its this wet. Greens are in good shape. We "moved" over to the back to start as the front looked very slow... it was a good move. When we made the turn the group finishing on 9 teed off 3 groups ahead of where we would have been. Price was good but we wouldn't have finished our round... we'd have walked off unhappy at the turn.

Good day at the course

Fairways and greens are in great shape. The rough is tall and very very wet and soft. The staff is always awesome!

Always dependable

The people at the course have gotten much more pleasant over the years. Course is always in at least good shape if not excellent and as everybody notes it plays well in the winter... just played 75th round in the last 4 years here so they are doing something right!

Seemed like a better day....

but when I rated each item everything just seemed average. The course was in decent shape but could be better... the guys with the carts etc. were good but the guys in the clubhouse and starter could have been better, the price wasn't bad but not great, seemed like we waited a bunch but it wasn't terrible....

Place needs some upgrades

Greens/tee boxes are in rough shape.... guess you can blame that on the time of year but compared to the other courses around town these are in the bottom portion. The guy working hates golfnow and was not afraid to tell us. He didn't like that we were early for our tee time and told us if we wanted to play earlier than our tee time we could have paid them $30 instead of the golfnow rate. For $30 I would play just about any other course. Without that golfnow rate they would not have gotten our $68 in fees for dirty golf carts. Definitely not a course to keep in our regular rotation. Then he makes a rude comment to himself when he thought I had left the pro shop...pretty funny when I called him on it. I decided not to spend any more money in the pro shop. Definitely not the type of guy I want working for my company.

Holidays can be rough

Normally enjoy this course however started out with the person behind the counter less than pleasant but everybody has a bad day. Three holes in we notice a sevensome just ahead (yes 7some). When we catch the twosome in between us they were told it doesn't matter because there is no where to go. They were right... there is a tournament that was miserably slow. Lucky for us at the turn the entire sevensome quit and a couple of holes later the shotgun start tournament wrapped up so we played extremely fast to finish. The greens were way to slow... needed to be mowed

Hate when this happens

Made my reservation a day early and got to the course to be told they had a tournament and then the men's club teeing off... they are running 30 minutes late. The young lady at the counter did a good job relaying this message to me and offered a rain check if I wanted. Nice but what I would rather is not be told "we had a tournament" and either be running late or not get to play at all. This is at least the third time this has happened. That said play was extremely slow on top of the delayed start. The course was in good shape but is really not too exciting.

Nice day at the course

Frost delay but they were back on schedule by our 11am tee time... Greens were in great shape and no plugged balls in the fairway... what more can you ask for in December

Good day at the course

The gentleman working was very friendly and helpful. The course was in great shape considering the rain... no plugged golf balls all day. The one big drawback was that the greens hadn't been cut or rolled lately and with the early morning dew they were the slowest greens I can remember playing. That said we had a great time and even played another 18

Punched greens... and no alert or mention

Greens sucked.... No alert on Golfnow about recent punching of greens. Actually they may have been punched over a week ago but were in terrible shape. Sunday afternoon with great weather so you know it's going to be slow and it was as we decided to head out after 12 holes. The front nine played in over 2.5 hours... opened up for 10/11/12 and then a wall in front of us.

Slow play...

and bad greens. Had to call the pro shop due to slow play... it was the only time we saw a "ranger". Then he left and it stayed slow. The course is not in good shape. The starter bad mouthed Redtail but the conditions and marshalls were great there the day before.

Nobody there...

Crazy... too hot? The course was empty. So weird. The marshalls were great. They are obviously tracking and concerned about speed of play. The staff in the shop as always is either the kids that seem like its their first day or the older guys that act like they are above helping you. Really too bad.
