Maples

I was a little concerned after the first 3-4 holes due to the poor conditions of the greens. As the round progressed the condition of the greens improved.

West to East

I booked the West course on Golfnow. There were several large groups going off at about the same time as me. The starter asked if I would play the East course, which I did, and I wasn't disappointed. After about a 30 minute delay at the start, the pace was pretty good. Some really nice holes for sure, especially 17 and 18. I would definitely play this course again and would like to play the West course.

Nice Course

I booked on golfnow. I then read reviews. I was nervous about playing here based on the reviews. Granted the reviews were from 2013. I really enjoyed the course and layout. Some real nice holes and forgiving fairways which worked out well for one of my first rounds of the season. The greens needed to be cut for they were long. They did roll nicely though. I assure you that the past less than favorable reviews have been addressed. I had a nice golf experience. There are so many courses to play in the area so I try to play a different one from time to time. I think it's a $40 course.

Didn't Know greens were aerated

Love the course. Play here several times a season. Booked on Golfnow for April 14th with a friend. Arrived and found aerated/sliced greens. Huge disappointment. The one round of golf I get to play this week and the greens are aerated? Please please please let people know this BEFORE they book. It's only fair and the right thing to do. I would have booked a different course for sure. Love The Fox but should be a 2 stroke penalty!

Rough rough

A five hour round is frustrating on any course any day of the week. The rough was so high which made finding balls was extremely difficult. The rough did factor into the pace of play for sure. Additionally, there was a ranger who was out a visible yet the group in front of us had a hole opened in front of them but nothing was done to have them pick it up. Not sure what the function of a ranger is then.

Ranch

Got a good deal on Golfnow. Would not pay full green fee for this course. Great track. They need to spend some money watering and maintaining the greens. This is a $60-70 course. Definitely not $125.

To clarify The Ranch's rates, the greens fees range from $89 at peak days/times to $59 after 2PM 7 days a week. This rate includes the golf cart and the driving range.

Has potential needs some care.

I play this course annually and each year the conditions deteriorate. There were so many dead divots in fairways and pock marks in greens you would think they would have staff clean up divots and roll the greens. This is a $50 course MAX.

Would be nice to have a beverage cart.

Very hilly terrain. Greens needed to be cut. Carts are outdated. I wouldn't pay more than $45 to play here.

Sand

The sand traps are dirt and rock traps. Terrible. I guess that's why there were only 3 rakes on the whole course....No sand to rake.

No way would I pay $65 for this course. $45 at best if they bought some sand.

Nice greens though, I must say.
