Awesome course, but be aware of slow play.

Unfortunately they had a shotgun at 10am and our tee time was 1:24. Needless to say we got stuck in the middle of a shotgun. Drunk slow players in front and behind us on the front. (Kinda weird they sent us out in between them, bad management Overall I think) The back played great because they were all of the course by then. It’s a fabulous course but we felt a little deprived of an overall awesome experience.

Poor conditions

I’ve played this course in the past several times. This was the first time in about 3 years. I was saddened by condition of the course. Bunkers where the worst I’ve ever seen. Weeds everywhere. Their greens where definitely the only thing they are taking care of. I thought when the tribe took it over they would make it a 1st rate resort. Unfortunately it’s gone in the opposite direction.

Everything was dirty.

We got a cart that had cigarettes butts in the cup holders and hadn’t been cleaned well maybe never. Trash in bushes and trash cans full. Tee boxes hadn’t been looked after. Obviously no marshal or maintenance people filling divots. Looked like the type of players they get don’t bother to do it.

Great course

Great course. Plays longer than you think and keep it in the fairway. Food in club house is absolutely the best!

Breakfast

I guess I’m old school. Went early to grab breakfast before our 7:30 round. Kitchen wasn’t open. The nice man in the shop offered to make coffee at least. Disappointed in amount and choice of merchandise, especially for women. But, the golf course was awesome even with the slightly sanded greens.

Pro Shop

Although the course was nice they had little merchandise. Especially woman’s cloths. I like to buy logo shirts but they had about 10 to choose from. Pace of play was frustrating. Got caught between two group events. All men and they where slow! Beautiful course, lots of history. Play early is my advice.

Beautiful Course

Super nice course. Was wet after a couple days of rain. All things considered I would play it again. Restaurant staff was great, good food and home made pie!

Course vs Facility

The course lay out is awesome but the facility itself is like a $30 muni.
Noting first class about it. Poor range balls. Lousy golf shop with no inventory to speak off. Semi dirty bathrooms with no soap. The only good thing was the women that work in the restaurant and the food was pretty good. However we were told by the Marshall to order the brisket but they were out when we got finished around 1pm. That was disappointing.
So for $150 bucks not sure it’s worth it. Plus they had over 200 rounds booked on the Sunday we played so pace was pretty slow.

Painted Fairways

That’s right. Paid $200 bucks to play on dormant Bermuda grass painted green fairways. Nice, fast bent greens. Super awesome caddy named Dillon and shop was well stocked and staff was amazing. Resturant was also closed. Would love to play again when it has actual live green grass!

Expected Better

I was very disappointed in the course condition. Being a former teaching pro I know how a well groomed course should look. Paying $130 bucks I thought that would be what I would see. Unfortunately it was in average condition, the bent greens where nice but very beat up from all the play. The guy who attempted to help us unload our bags was less then friendly and accommodating. Paying $130 bucks you would expect to have range balls on the range but oh no they where extra.
The clubhouse was cool and we did stop for a bit afterwards. Of course we wanted the ahi tuna sandwich but they where all out of that. Either their on a tight budget or it's mis managed. Could be both!

Spectacular views.

This course has to be one of the prettiest in the valley. Sitting back up against the mountains with views from every angle. Excellent course to play on a windy day. It's very protected.

Great bargain!

Some of the best greens I've ever putted on. Really fun course and usually not that busy. Best to play during the week. Great hot dogs and super friendly Marshall's.
