DarkHorse Golf Club
Played On 12/30/2019Upgraded course a refreshing mountain adventure
I played Darkhorse quite a few years ago and enjoyed the course then, but with the new ownership, this course is in immaculate shape. Especially considering we are in the middle of winter, the conditions were fantastic. The rolling hills make it almost unwalkable, but the unique holes and beautiful views make up for it. The mountain scenery is to die for and nature’s sounds transport you to a peaceful state of mind.
The warmup range is great and the staff is extremely friendly. The sand bunkers are the best I’ve ever played in with soft white sand, and the greens are true but forgiving. Being a 19 handicapper, I played off the blue tees and felt good about the mostly wide fairways that allowed some err in my drives. There are some truly breathtaking tee boxes that make you question your club selection (extremely downhill or uphill)., and the meandering river is a welcome view throughout the course.
The pace of play was surprisingly slow for a Monday but I didn’t mind because an extra 30 minutes in the mountains isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Hopefully they will be opening a clubhouse soon as the current options are to bring your own snacks or hope the snack cart comes by in a timely fashion. (We only saw her come by once).
I look forward to coming again soon!! Well done Darkhorse!
The Ridge Golf Course & Events Center
Played On 12/28/2019Fun but slow. To be expected...winter!
My family has a great (albeit long) day at the ridge today. Because of the winter wetness it was cart path only and resulted in a 5 hour 10 minute round. The good news is that everyone was slow including us so there wasn’t a lot of waiting around. For a few days away from
New year the course was in great condition and we enjoyed the cool and sunny weather.
The cart lady was extremely nice and all of the staff was friendly. At the turn we grabbed a few Jax bacon burgers with garlic fries. Oh so good, but probably cost me a couple strokes.
The greens are fast and brutal for a Bogey golfer and humbled me all day.
Overall a wonderful day and we will definitely be back in the drier season for another round.
