JUST A PUBLIC COURSE....

I'm an Arcis card prime member so I play this course frequently. Overall the layout and condition is good especially since they overseeded.

The problem is with everything else. Please don't mistake this course as a resort, they are far from it. From no toilet paper and paper towels in the "on-course" relief buildings, to the dirty bathrooms at the club house, the overall feel is just a public golf course.

Traps are just that "traps". There is no sand. The greens are filled with ball divots making it difficult to have a simple putt. Add the geese poop everywhere makes this just a public course.

One of the bright spots is Lynsey ( I hope I got her name right) in the grill. Always with a smile, attention to detail and the food she puts out is outstanding. Wish she was running the golf course.

First Time.... Last Time

Not sure this course can handle any amount of water because including the par 3's we needed to stay on cart path on 7 other holes. Locals had said that it had been 2 weeks since the last significant rain.
Everywhere was wet.... maybe the houses around the course should be built on the course as well.

A Gem of a Course

Best course I’ve played on the Cape. The entire day was fantastic. From the time we dropped bags through a patio lunch after round... not to mention cart fee only to play the course again.
Only downside was the halfway house was not open. Not sure why course do that since they take your total green fee. That should come with all the bells and whistles. Someone needs to work on that.

Short Game Help Needed

Had played this course before but they re-did the entire place and opened about a year ago.

It was in fantastic shape. Plush and green.

Only issue was even from the tips you only use a couple of clubs in your bag. Holes are either 160+ or around 100 yds. Wish they had a better variety so you use more clubs.

But it is well worth it if your short game needs work. Its very challenging and for sure...... not easy.

A little Disappointed

I've played this course many times because it's a good value. Their policy on fast play (4 hours) which is stressed by the starter and signs in the cart is miss-leading. How can you play a round in 4 hours when they put players back to back with no cushion. They want you to play fast but want to earn every dollar than can by putting as many golfers on the course as they can. Our round took 5 hours 10 minutes.

Then you have no food available (other than hot dogs because they ran out of sandwiches) at the turn and they say they just have to text the kitchen to bring over. That's what you want to hear at the turn when they also want you to keep pace of play.

A good day...

Played the second time during my stay. Though the weather was cloudy, it was a good day being from the northeast.
Staff was extremely accommodating, restaurant attentive, food hot and priced accordingly.
Cart girl and halfway house where short on selections.

First Time Playing Course

Played after the course was closed due to the excessive rain. For the most part the course was dry but they maintained cart paths only for the day.

Some standing water but most shots were hit off dry land.

Course from the Blue t's is a nice challenge for a 11 hdcp. Greens were putting very nice and holding shots.

ISSUES: It was a Monday and that was the excuse that workers used when I asked where was the drink cart. NONE

Sand traps were not touched since they reopened and were hard as rock. But once you raked them the sand was very nice. That's how we played if we landed in the traps.

If you are opened and we paid green fees we should have the same courtesy of the course as any day. What difference does Monday make when you want to have a beverage.

Also, why the traps were not touched since they reopened? They were out cutting the grass so why not the traps.

In the middle of no where

40 minutes north of Frisco, this course is in the middle of a development that hasnt taken off yet. Once you wind around you find the club house. I have played this course ever time I visit and it has never dissapointed me.

The golf staff will do whatever it takes to make you happy. The course is very challanging with the most difficult parts being the greens. Ever one has its own feature of slopes and breaks which makes the approach shot very critical.

The course is flat and it looks to be wide open. However, you need to control your drives somewhat becasue you will wind up in some nasty stuff. But most holes give you plenty of room to hit the fairway but you need to be aware of some oif the well placed traps.

Enjoy your round

July Heat

nobody plays golf in vegas in 117 degree heat but we did. the course was well maintained and the greens held shots and putted well

course is wide open so play wasn't affected by looking for lost balls and arrant shots.

staff was minimal as you might expect being their non-peek time, but they could have been a little more attentive. we actually took our cart to our car after no one met us at the finish only to have someone drive over after we had unloaded our bags and begin wiping them off. Kind of late wouldn't you think.

Definitely going back when I am back in town
