Course for sale

This course is for sale and it is obvious that the current owner is minimizing their ongoing investment in the golf course. The fairways are in need of work, fertilizer, and seed. The greens are now showing quite a bit of deterioration and need herbicide, fertilizer, and care.
There is flooding that has allowed standing water in some fairways and has closed off the back nine holes. You are now playing a rerouted golf course on only 13 of the original 18 holes.
The positive is that we were able to play 26 holes for $27 !

Course layout makes you think on each shot.

Evert tee shot is not a driver.
You really have to think about your next shot and position your tee shot accordingly.
Being out of position will lead to more strokes.
Very fun course. Sloped fairways and lots of elevation changes. Greens are in nice shape but a little slow.
Best cheeseburgers of any golf course !
I will be back.

Gophers have their way with course

The parking lot is big with plenty of room and spaces.
The golf shop is small and sparse with no shirt’s available for sale.
The $45 loyalty program is a no brainer because you immediately get one round free and $7 off of your following rounds !
The course was in fair shape but the gopher population is exploding.
The greens were in fair shape but had recently been punched so they were slow and bumpy.
Pace was a little slow but we chipped and practiced putting while we waited since no one was behind us. We finished the round in 4:15.
Only one homeless guy was camped under the trees on the right side of the 16th fairway.
We enjoyed our round and we will be back.

great course but no ball washers

The day was beautiful and sunny in the 70s
the pace of play was good we finished in4 hours
the fairways were lush , wide and welcoming
the greens were fast and rolled very true.
my only suggestion is to add ball washers on at least every other hole
we did get mud on the golf ball every so often.
We scored well and enjoyed our round.
i did not have a chance to have food at the grill so i can’t comment on
the food preparation
i will be back

Silverado golf course

My son said we should play this course so I said let’s play.
I really enjoyed this course.
The fairways were very luxurious
and most were very wide.
The greens were large and very fair with
only slight breaks. Putts rolled very true.
It is very hard to lose a ball at this course.
I used one golf ball for my entire round.
The restaurant looked very nice with an outside
patio that overlooks the 18th green but we did
not have time to eat.
I will be back to play this course

River Russian Olive

I liked everything about this course except all of the invasive Russian Olive trees that are sucking all the water up on this property.
Cut these trees down and you will have a great course.

River Russian Olive

I liked everything about the course except there were more Russian Olive trees than any other tree on the course by a ratio of 10 to 1.
The Russian Olive is a non native invasive species that sucks water and nutrients from all of our native plants and animals.
The state of Utah mandates that this tree be exterminated where ever possible.
Before the state of Utah mandates specific removal of this tree at this golf course i would recommend setting a goal of removing them hole by hole over the next 18 months.
Removing these trees will not only save a tremendous amount of water but the native plants and animals will really begin to thrive.
When this is accomplished I will start to call this course River Oaks instead of River Russian Olive.

The fairways were beautiful and well manicured but the greens needed some water and some help as there were some brown spots in several greens.

The Wick

My buddies and I wanted an affordable course that we could play to get ready for our Sunday golf match.
For $24 we got a great round of golf and a hot dog !
The fairways are a little bit spotty in places and they are in need of a little gopher control but the greens were very nice and we actually like the layout of the course. The fairways are wide and fair.
The pace of play was very good we started the round at 12pm and finished in less than four hours..
We will be back.

Los Lagos after the rain

It had just poured buckets of rain the day before so we could only walk the course. The no cart decision was a good decision because there were some ares of standing water on the course but we were able to easily take a drop close by if we were near the water.
The extra water did not affect our enjoyment of the fairways. The greens were excellent and beautiful. They were consistently lush and held our approach shots very well !
I will be back.

ShoreCliffs

Well the course is very tight in some places and the two drainage holes are being redone so they have two temporary greens set up but I like the challenge and love the cool breeze that blows in from the ocean. This was Richard Nixon's favorite golf course.
The greens are in very nice shape in light of the heavy play this course gets.
Be patient and think about each shot as you will find out that this course rewards the tactical golfer.
Very reasonable green fees.

Possibly the best course I have ever played!

The course is very beautiful and well maintained.
We had a ton of fun because the fairways were huge, open, and very forgiving.
The course traverses around Camelback mountain so you get some great elevation changes. At some of the higher tees you had incredible views of the valley.
We really enjoyed our round which included the Oasis and Desert courses.
This is truly a world class facility and golf course!

The course was fun to play.

Well maintained golf course that was fairly easy which allowed us to have fun !
The fairways were wide and forgiving.
The pace of play was slow on the front nine of the pines course but picked up on the back nine.

Good value and very interesting 18 hole layout.

After hitting a small bucket on their practice range we headed off on the first tee.
The course was well maintained with mature trees and the greens were very nice and true.
We liked that even though this was an executive course we had several opportunities to hit our driver off of the tee on the par fours.
We appreciated that this course has 18 different holes and even though we were in Newport Beach we had some interesting elevation changes during the round.
We also enjoyed watching the jets from John Wayne Airport take off directly overhead.

Beautiful course but needs 100 yard markers and a few more cart paths.

Beautiful course but needs 100 yard markers and a few more cart paths. Great wide fairways off of the tees just like Nicklaus designs and favors.
