Great Experience

I last played this course many years ago, what a difference, really enjoyed it. Called asking for a non member tee time and gentleman was super nice, upon arrival very pleasant greeting. There were two members walking ahead of me who kindly offered to let me play through on #3. The course itself is a great layout, although due to loads of rain was a bit wet and cart path only which was fine. I like to play in afternoon because heat keeps most people away which was the case and it was fantastic 2.5 hrs for 18. The greens are smaller than I am used to, so bring a good iron game but fairways offer plenty of width to let er rip. The holes are quite interesting and suited my eye very well. Overall a very nice experience and will definitely be back.

Great Experience

So I played this course many years ago after a call from pro at my club, at that point in time the course wasn't in good shape so I never thought to return, but after years i though why not give it another shot, so glad I did.. Yesterday I called after seeing on their website they allow limited outside play and was very politely offered a tee tim. Upon arrival the gentleman at pro shop was very nice and off i went. There were tow walkers (members) in front of me who very nicely offered to allow me through on #3 which I did, although made a mess of hole as I was trying to rush and get out of the way. I really like the course and the way it sets up except that the greens are a bit small. the course was wet after heavy rains so cart path only but the course still played well. Playing in the afternoon and 90 degree temps I never say anyone else after #3 which I really like since I play quick 2.5 hrs. A few fairways have weeds etc, but could just be because of tons of rain, but overall the course is really a good layout and thoroughly enjoyable, I will be back, thanks.

Very Disappointed

After reading reviews and looking for another mountain course after having played Old Edwards was looking forward to this course, but not good. Look, I don't write bad reviews, most are all nice and good, but sorry, this course is not good. the layout is weak, straight drives run out of fairway. Grass was bare in a lot of spots, greens were average. The course was pretty busy with lots of locals/members I assume, mostly older couples etc which is fine, but it's also a course suited to this age and type of golfer. I was also expected great views, not so much. Any day golfing is a good day, but wouldn't play here again

Such a Slow Place to Play, Arrg!

I have driven the 45 minutes to play this course a few times. I always call to see how busy they are, if busy I stay away. Called and they said wide open, wrong. The members of this club are on average quite old and play very slow which just brings your whole round to a grinding halt once you catch up (5th hole today). The tee boxes are a bit rough and some of the greens were not very nice either. Anything off the fairway is in this sponge type grass which just buries the ball and even makes it hard to find or see. The layout is average, no real interesting holes except maybe 3 and 11 and even 17, the rest pretty bland.

Great Place to get a quick round.

Make no mistake, this is not a world class course, which we play quite often, but it doesn't need to be. This course is great if you want a quick round of golf in the afternoon after the AM regulars are done. The course has a few interesting holes, but the fairways are really rough, especially the front nine, but still able to play. Greens are generally good and a bit quick. Again, not a great course but a great place to go and play without waiting behind group after group of foursomes.

4 Wheeling at it's Best

The title refers to the cart paths which are so bad, never seen anything quite like them. Having played the finest courses in the world, this was the first time a course charged a rider fee for my wife, why?? The course itself is okay, some holes, especially the back nine are good, the front nine not so much starting with #1. Greens had probably been done a few weeks ago and they were not cutting them well so putts were so slow and quite bouncy. Many tee boxes had grass that was ankle high with weeds. If you are close and want a quick round, probably okay but a bit sad overall.

Golf Elevated

Played this course 3 times over 2 days as we stayed in the cottages for nights. This without a doubt a very difficult course and for the average hacker maybe a bit too much but if you like to challenge your game then this is your course. The first 2 holes are fairly easy and gives a good warmup before the fun begins. I found #12 to be the most difficult with 16 a close second due to the approach to a narrow target. The staff could not have been nicer, even staff working on the course would ask how we were enjoying our stay and seemed happy to have us. My wife only rode along and she also found the course to be quite attractive and everyone very nice. If you get a chance to play, do it. The previous reviewer must have been a poor golfer or had a bad day as each hole is well thought out, but if bring your A game and think about position you will be able to score. We have played the greatest courses in Ireland/Scotland and New Zealand/Australia and this ranks right up there. The closest comparison in the states would be Ballyneal in Colorado. Loved it!

Great course and starter

Played for the second time here and it is a great course. We will be making this a weekly outing as I found the course excellent and my wife enjoyed riding along. The greens and fairways were both in excellent condition and there is a great variety of holes with an abundance of elevated tees. Most of the greens are in bowls which is fun deciding which way they will break. The starter was very kind and suggested we start on 10 to get through quickly, 18 in 2:30. Only negative was service and food in restaurant, but we came to golf, so...Grand Junctions finest and woth the drive from our home in Moab.

Everything they claim is true!

Played last week of May so fairways were not totally grown in yet but, Wow, is this what golf heaven in the USA is, yes I think so. Having played extensively in Ireland and Scotland it may not be my favorite course in the world, bit absolutely the best in the states. This is a golf only destination and does not pretend to be otherwise and it is worth it. Greens are very interesting and can give some fun putts while the course is long, the fairways are wide enough to let er rip. Having a caddy is also a great experience here, loved it.

Unexpected Gem

Played here the day before Ballyneal as a kind of warm up. The course was very good, some think the front nine to be the weaker, I would argue it's the better nine. The back nine is a bit tricked out with pretty holes, but the front nine is more fair and fun, but the whole experience was great. Greens were excellent and fairways also. Would return again.

Not what I Expected

I must say after reading reviews I was looking forward to playing here, but unfortunately I was not impressed. In all fairness the greens were in excellent shape, but tee boxes were awful, which isn't too important, but the fairways were so so. The big problem was the course was not very interesting and very bland with an over abundance of right doglegs which won't suit good right handed golfers. We played the Orange and Black nines and the Orange was maybe a bit better, but not much. For the price though it is a very good deal, but you get what you pay for which is a very average course in average to poor shape.

Great Course

Played this course twice while visiting from Fiji where we work and the course was fantastic. The art/sculptures on the course are different but interesting. By far the best course in the area which includes Jacks and Millbrook. Fairways were generous and the greens are interesting to putt but great. Favorite hole was 17. Will be back this October and can't wait to play again, go if you can.
