Excellent greens

Have played this course since it opened in 1985. Had not played in the last 3 years due to it usually being in poor condition. But today the greens were immaculate the fairways have decent grass and Bermuda is still dormant due to the weather. We had the course to ourselves at 1:00 pm so obviously pace of play was great 3 hours. Got a great deal on TeeOff and would highly recommend this course to anyone right now

Excellent shape right now

Haves played this course many times and the course has made many improvements since the last time I played. They have put PGA tour sand in the bunkers on 9. 16 and 18 and hopefully will continue that on other holes. Greens look great and putt very well. Forgot how big and sloping they are so one can have a lot of long lag putts. If this course was closer to where I lived I would be playing it every week. It is in that kind of shape and good challenging layout.

Hidden gem in N Fort Worth

As I have been told a lot of the courses in the DFW metroplex suffered due to the winter freeze. This course not only survived but has put it behind them. Excellent layout that has good to great greens that are medium fast. Fun to play with excellent customer service from all staff. Highly recommend if in the area

Hayesville NC course

Nice layout with back nine being more dramatic than the front. Greens were good but slow compared to what I usually play on. Paired up with a couple of locals who were great to play with. Would highly recommend if in the area but not a course to play in the rain. Only real negative was the golf cart which was gas and had a hard time going up and down the many hills on the course

Hidden executive gem

Course in great shape from tee to green. Greens are fast and tricky to putt but I like it that way. Great customer service in pro shop and I will definitely play again in the future. By the way course has 27 holes so the 18 hole combo can be different each time one plays

Incompetent

I have now played this course twice in the last year. Both times the course was in average shape and the pace of play was terrible with no Marshall present. But the worst thing about this course is their inability to process my credit card payments properly. The first time the card was rejected so I had to go to an offsite ATM to get cash and pay them costing me gas and ATM fees. The personnel at the desk did not know how to use the credit card machine properly. This time the machine is down so they have to process the payment the old way by paper slip and proceed to charge me twice. I will never be back due to their obvious incompetence.

An outstanding course near Marshall that has the best GPS on the golf cart I have ever seen. Course is in great shape from tee to green. Great par 3’s and layout in general is interesting and challenging. Highly recommend to anyone that is in the area

Memories

Last played this course 23 years ago and the course has only improved with age. Rerouted the holes, added a new clubhouse (which is great for Spartan apparel and accessories) and condition of course is outstanding. Pace of play was acceptable given all the groups playing on course. I will not wait so long to return to my alma mater ‘s outstanding golf course

Best public course in St. Louis area

Hidden gem in S Illinois. In Waterloo and does not look like much when you first arrive at the course but the layout is outstanding. Front nine more links style while back has a lot of elevation change which I love. Conditions were excellent even after recent rain. Greens slower than I like but are smooth and large. Nice selection of merchandise in pro shop. Highly recommend and would gladly play again if in the area

Nice course

Nice layout but because of the recent rains needs to be cut. Greens in good shape but slow and a little bumpy. Fairways and tee boxes need to be mowed. Sand bunkers were washed out from recent rain. Played as I was passing through to Michigan. Got good deal on Golf Now

Marana course

The Highlands GC at Dove Mountain is a semi private course that allows some outside play. The course currently is in average to good shape from tee to green. A couple of greens reflect heat stress and the putting speed on the greens was slow with a little bumpyness. There are some great views from some of the holes as you can see DT Tucson from them. One quirky hole which is number 13. Would recommend if in area but not a destination course and look for a deal on Golf Now.

Great Sedona area course

First time playing this much hyped course. Course met the expectations as the course is in great shape from tee to green. Greens are smooth receptive to approach shots and have enough slope to make putting interesting. Not overly quick but just the right speed for resort golf. Great facilities with excellent staff and would recommend to anyone visiting the area but try and get a deal from Golf Now because the normal greens fee can get pricey.

Boulders North

Have now played the North course 3 times and it has always been very enjoyable. Course is in great shape from tee to green with greens being smooth and medium fast. Staff was very accommodating as the got me and another gentleman off before a group of 12 was to tee off. Nice facilities with a great pro shop. Got a great deal on Golf Now.

Sun City Grand course

Played this course the day before it was scheduled to close for aerification. Course in good shape but greens were slow and mostly burned out as one could see they were being unattended due to the maintenance about to be performed. Played with a member in around 2 and half hours which was great. Course layout is interesting but would recommend waiting until fall to play it due to the maintenance being performed. Got s good deal on GolfNow.
