Pete Dye can be very interesting

I’ve played a few Pete Dye layouts in my time. Always interesting and challenging. This is no exception. Course in very good shape for late fall golfing test. Greens rolled well, bunkers aplenty in good shape, rough around the greens was difficult. Bring your best short game to score well.
Would be better if they gave you water and a wet towel to start the round.

Good value, nice course

This time of year, courses are less than perfect. Discount pricing a must to play here. Great staff, friendly layout, challenging, but very fair.
I’ll play here again

Others are much better

Course was in rough shape. Greens OK, fairways OK, rough was awful. Lost 2 balls just off fairway because ball sinks below surface and can’t be found unless you step on it.

Not up to Par

First time playing this course. I have played other PGA West courses and they have been excellent. The golf shop staff was just fine. Friendly, welcoming, a delight to see. The starter was the opposite. He was very rude, not interested in giving us any course hints, even after we told him we have not played there before. Just told us to hurry up as he had 50 other golfers waiting to play. Course was OK, but rough was not maintained for PGA standards. Greens were slow, rock hard, and again, not up to PGA standards (we played Nicklaus course the next day, and it was in fabulous condition). Play other PGA courses when in the area.

Wonderful course in very good condition. Greens run true, fairways excellent condition. Traps needed work and more sand, but didn’t distract from the play.
Great price online, I’ll play it again next trip to Vegas

Nice layout, very good condition

Played for the 3rd time in last few years. Still a very good test, and conditions were very good for mid-November.
Greens ran well, and fairways were in very good shape. Some traps need attention, but not too bad. Only thing I really didn’t like was the number of geese on 18th green and surrounding areas. WAY TOO MUCH geese crap on the green! Just left an awful way to the round. Couldn’t putt or even walk without stepping in it.

Overpriced and overhyped

First time playing this course. Also the last time I’ll play it. Omni is VERY PROUD of this layout. For $165, you get no range, limited practice putting greens, average boring layout, and sandy greens. Most of Donald Ross courses are wonderful, this one isn’t. What a waste of time and money.

Hidden Gem with great practice facilities

Visiting Austin, I wanted an off the beaten path course. This was it! Everything others said, very nice course in very good condition (sand was terrific) and great staff.
I thoroughly enjoyed my round in spite of the rain in the last 2 hours.

Always a great choice

I played here 2 years ago, and couldn't wait to return. The course is terrific, very challenging but very fair. You will use every club in your bag, and bogeys are waiting at almost every turn. It's a big course, with lots of choices for every golfer to make. Greens and fairways were very good for this time of year. Bunkers needed some TLC, but all in all, I had a great time and will return again.

A good choice

I played Copper Canyon and was pleasantly surprised. The pro shop people, the starter, and the Marshall were very friendly and helpful. The layout was fun. Not terribly difficult, but not easy by any means. Conditions were very good. Greens rolled true and bunkers were just fine.
I would play again any time I visit the Scottsdale area.

Good news, Bad news

Good news: A very fair test. Conditions very good, greens fast and tricky, but very fair and fun to play. Marshall kept an excellent pace (we saw him 3 times), lots of choices of tee boxes (played the Gold/White combo), I'd play again anytime.
Bad News: Range balls ($12 for a medium bucket!!) should be included in green fees. That is cheap.
No photos of hole layouts on scorecard. WHY NOT? As a first time player, I didn't know the layout at all. No GPS on carts. WHY NOT?? Again, that information is vital for new visitors to the course.

Course in very good shape for November. Bunkers had too little sand, but fairways and greens in good shape. Pace of play was wonderful, played in just under 4 hrs. Nice terrain changes, challenging holes, a good time.

Want to spend lots of time waiting to play your next shot?

5 1/2 hour round. Marshall was sitting under a tree eating his lunch instead of helping move slow golfers along. Terrible attitude when I suggested he push them to play ready golf.
On the plus side, greens were very nice, course was OK, to pristine by any means, and it didn't rain on us.

We would like to again apologize for the pace of play challenges you experienced during your round. Pace of play is always of the utmost importance to us and there is no excuse that we missed the mark this day.

In regards to your reference of our course marshal, we can assure you that this individual is one of our most seasoned team members and he was doing everything in his power to help move golfers along. Aside from physically removing golfers from the course, he used every technique possible to assist with the pace of the slower players. When you saw him "sitting under a tree eating his lunch", you saw a dedicated employee that would rather eat on the move and stay out on the golf course to assist our guests rather than vacating the course for his lunch break.

We would again like to offer you a rain check for a return visit as an apology for the pace of play. While we cannot change your experience that day, we certainly hope to make it right and provide the type of experience so many are accustomed to here at Lookout Mountain Golf Club. Please do not hesitate to contact the management team here at LMGC to further discuss your experience.

WOW!!

A great course! Challenging from the start. Bring your best game and enjoy this gem. Long holes, short par 3's that are terrific, and bunkers that must be avoided. Worth the trip, will definitely go back (I live in Seattle).
