Solid not spectacular

The course itself is quite flat overall with a good length for the majority of holes but not a lot of imagination. The fairways are mowed quite high and tend to be soft as well. No roll to speak of and easy to push your ball if you arent careful. The greens are soft and medium fast and small to mid sized. Overall a nice course that is not filled with gimmicks or weird holes. Enjoyable round.

Enjoyable round

The course just reopened after pinching and sending greens but was in quite good shape. The greens were sanded but were quite putable. Soft overall and in good shape. No complaints at all and a enjoyable round. Time was just under four hours. Great day and great course.

Summer is here

The. course was in fair to good shape. The fairways are fine if a bit dr6 and the greens are medium fast and could use some water. It was 108 today so they need to be careful. The rough was not kept up and the weeds etc were quite thick. Need to mow those areas and clean up the broken branches etc. The place is a fair setup and enjoyable to play although a bit slow not horribl, a four and a half hour round. Get out early and enjoy.

Fair to middling

The course starts with a pretty full group moving forward and a full parking lot. A small clubhouse that has the basics and that it about it. Still, it does provide the basics. Problem is only one person is running everything so he is moving quick from one register to the other. The course is in good shape for a muni but not much more. Fairways are acceptable and most sand traps have s9me sand in them, which is good. The greens are slow but manageable. Biggest problem is their love of long par 3s. 205, 180, 170 and 205. All from the whites not the blues. This slows down the flow of people as people are stuck finding missed balls in the water or in the junk because they can’t get their in two. The result is another 4 plus or 5 hour round. Move the white tees up to 150 and it will make a huge difference especially on 18. We have 3 groups waiting on 18 because of the length and difficulty of this whole. Move the tees back and make a short par 4 or move them forward but change it. Except for this which results in slow play it is not a bad set up. You have to endure the noise of the F16,s landing and taking off on 15 and 16th...need ear plugs but the opportunity to watch is worth it.

Beautiful and Challenging Golf

Here is a course with true variety. From tough rough to water hazards. You need to watch where you drive that ball. The fairways seem wide with few trees but soon you discover that is not the fairway...beautiful but definitely rough.
As Johnny Miller would say..you're in the deep stuff. The good thing is the grass is blue grass so you can get out but determining your yardage is not so easy. Soft but reasonably fast greens with enough adulations to make you look carefully before you putt. Small greens and big greens. This is a great course. Add in newer cards with GPS and you have my favorite course in Minnesota so far. Pace was good and as I played alone, people encouraged me to play through, Minnesota nice. What's not to like? No restaurant but sandwiches and drinks to take care of basics.
I'll be back.

Nice Fairways...Slow Greens

The course itself is in good shape but the greens are furry and inconsistent. Beautiful area with great scenery and big fairways that demand a solid drive on every hole. Playing from the whites you need a consistent 230 to put the play into play with a 6 iron or less. Big greens but so slow. Pace of play was awful with cart path only still in play...not sure why. We had to wait at every hole and we were a foursome with a wife playing. Nice layout but if they are going with cart path they need to spread out the time farther.

Getting closer to Good

The amount of players is a bit much with tee times on top of each other and ...go whenever you like... No directions to who is on the tee etc. However for the price this is understandable. The fairways are in good shape but the greens are cut sideways and difficult to putt. People are not taking care of ball marks and the greenskeeper is not following up at the end of the day and taking care of it. Makes it an interesting roll when you putt. Amazingly it is still not that bad. Probably big issue is amount of play, including the high school players that begin at 3 or so. I like the overall set up of the course despite no water, except the short par 3. No fairway bunkers that sneak up and bite you...pretty open fairways. You can score quite low here if you have a good iron game. Nice carts and a decent clubhouse make this a better than average course.

Nice but basic

The gold course is challenging but fairly bland. Every green is elevated and you need to know the overall flow. Of course we don’t as we haven’t played it or have a caddie to give directions. Not a good idea. Fairways are excellent with plenty of trees and obscure water canals you need to be aware of. Carts have good gps and you will need them.

Great play on a great day

Nice course with wide fairways and mid size greens. A good mixture of hills and valleys with enough change to keep you guessing. 5 pars were set up as easier to play but quite enjoyable. Greens were mixed with some burn but overall pretty good. For the price..dynamite. This course is one of the best in the area for a mid handicapper.

Not bad at all

The course was in good to great shape with the greens soft and rolling fast. A number of players who were walking slowed the pace down but that is life in February. Tee boxes were begin worked on so we had to play some out of position but still not bad. Well worth the price.

Going Downhill

I really like Coldwater but the present staff is not handling it well. The tee boxes were more dirt than grass and the fairway was full of divots with no new grass growing. They needed water badly The greens were fast and for now working well but soon they will be burnt up if not taken care of.

Perfect conditions

Wow this course was in great shape. Not sure how they do it. The fairways were perfect, the greens were marvelous and even the tee boxes were a 10. Truly a great experience with little play and I was sent out an hour before my tee time. The practice area was also unbelievable. From sand to chipping to working on my irons it couldn't get any better. I played Ambiente and it was a challenge but not particularly unusual. The course layout was a but basic but that is my only criticism. Great place to play. I will return.

Elevations and Blind shots

Arrived at the course and had a bit of a time figuring where to parkk etc. but once we got that figured out off we went to the practice areas about 3 minutes away...down the hill and over the streets. Nice practice area though and friendly tee master. Course was in good condition not great and we were a bit slow. About 4 3/4 hours with a wait on most tees. Not too long but the elevation on the back nine was a bit over the top. Needed GPS on carts to tell you where you could hit and distance. Caused a slow down and then irritation when you hit too far. Greens were quick but not bad. All in all a course I will play in the summer.

pastorleigh,

Thank you for taking the time to review Lookout Mountain Golf Course! We appreciate the feedback about the practice facility and our friendly staff. The course meanders through the Phoenix Mountain Preserves and offers some amazing views with some elevated tee shots, something you will not find at many Phoenix courses. We look forward to your future visits!

Target golf with nature

Nice course with unusual setting. The course is blended into the natural environment allowing the natural mountain and desert area to determine the lay of the course. Very tight with no room for error this is a beautiful and rustic course. Not particularly long but with enough length to keep you focused. Hazards all around and soft greens with quickness. Nice course that I will play again.

Sweet Course but SSSSLow

The course is beautiful with quite a set of different structured holes. A must play course but one you want to play without some course knowledge, too many holes that have specific target areas that you need to know about or a perfect shot becomes a bad one. This day they had way overbooked the course for a no carts on the fairway set up. Fairways were cut long and greens were slow. Slow play made it not just difficult but downright frustrating. 5 plus hour round and we played after 12. Not good. Will try again and see if they learned to give more time.

Slow but Steady

The course itself was pretty nice. Fairways were in good shape and the contoured style was challenging. Every shot was a downhill or uphill or sidehill lie. The greens were average in speed but difficult in placement. No GPS so each shot had to be looked at carefully. We played behind slow players and that was a bit of a pain. Course was full and lots of noise in the neighborhood with homes on every hole. If you miss the fairways it was all rock which looks pretty but you can't play on it. Bottom line..typical Sun City course with more difficulties than normal. Not bad is the best I can say.

Nice day..nice course

Enjoyed the course as the fairways were growing well with the new grass. Overseeding was almost done and the place looked good. The greens were not ready for true play but still fun. Play was great and I finished in 3 hours.

Not good

Wanted it to be okay but the truth is the course was pathetic. The greens were awful the fairways were chewed up. Too bad because I like this course. I guess it is simply time for the big change to winter. The course has a long ways to go and hopefully in October it will be better.
