Make The Trip!!!

Ok so I was really excited to go and play the Dragon, I had heard some really nice things about it. Let me just say that my expectations were exceeded. We pulled up and the two nice young men grabbed our bags and gear from the trunk and loaded them up right away on our cart. They gave us parking instructions for our car, where to pay and purchase anything we needed from the pro shop. Range and putting green were in excellent shape! I read through all of the reviews on this course before we decided to play, some said it was way too hard and unfair, others said it was playable. Truth is the course is very difficult, but not unfair. You are playing up in the mountains so there is a good amount of elevation change, some places you just can't miss or you will lose your ball. That being said the course is not unfair and good shots are rewarded. The one caveat is that local knowledge will go a long way to improving your score, expect a higher than normal score because the course is tough and the wrong miss will make a difficult recovery. Course wasn't crowded and we were able to enjoy the quiet surroundings. Go and you will be planning your next trip back before you finish the front 9!

WORST

I will preface this with saying this was a fun course and nice and green! Unfortunately this is the worst that I have ever been treated at any golf facility, ever. I was threatened and verbally harassed by an over zealous, power hungry old man in the pro shop. No need to get into details, and not the first golfnow review that has mentioned this. I can not in good conscious recommend this course to anyone because of the complete disrespectful attitude and verbal abuse that was witnessed to not only the players in my party but to others on the course. Don't spend youre money here!

Beautiful Course

This is a great course. Worth the drive from the Sacramento area. Lots of elevation changes and tough lies, but the course is fair and allows for good scores. Greens were in great shape, but the course was wet and it was cart path only. Highly recommend this course as one to play in the area.

Tuscan Ridge...

This course should be the crown jewel of Chico but right now its just average. The greens were in very good condition and difficult. There was plenty of break and they were nice speed. The course itself has obviously suffered from the drought. Lots of brown spots and dead areas, plenty of lies that were more dirt than grass. Some of the tee boxes needed a lot of work, tough to find a green spot to tee it up on. Aside from that the course is fun and very challenging. If you haven't played this course before it is much more difficult. #10,17 have tough landing spots and can be difficult to play if you don't know where you are going. #18 requires a carry over the canyon so make sure your ready. Overall a fun facility that could be so much more but times are tough and for the price we got it was worth it.

Great Deal!

I've played this course a number of times with varying course conditions, but it was in great shape this last time around. The greens were almost fully recovered from a recent aeration but putts rolled true on all the greens. Fairways were in good shape considering how hot it has been and the lack of water in California. Course was not busy at all, probably due to it being in the afternoon of a 100+ degree day. Found a great deal through GolfNow so the value was excellent. If you live in the area, or even a little ways out I would recommend this course for a challenging, yet fun round.
