Enjoyable vacation round

I selected the Mayfair CC golf course for a second round while my wife and I were traveling through the area, initially as we drove by the course. This was the second round based upon my first experience which was very enjoyable. The fairways and tee boxes had some issues from winter weather and recent rain, but overall the course was in good condition. I would play there again because the experience was very good, and the staff and local golfers were very friendly and accommodating.

Fun (windy) golf round

For my second round ever on this course (twice in one week), I was pleased again because of the course challenge (wind and layout) and staff friendliness; I booked online with the GolfNow app (non-hot deal) and was paired with a couple; my wife rode with me again without a rider fee which was welcomed; the course had some areas affected by the winter conditions, but I was aware of winter conditions which are unavoidable by course management; I enjoyed the round despite the gusting winds (20+) and realize my game is also coming out of winter affect; I played here a second time because my first experience earlier in the week was worth the green fee and overall experience.

Overpriced golf round while visiting Daytona Beach

I booked my round at Pelican Bay GC using the GolfNow app as I looked for an early morning round; I read the customer reviews which had me leaning away from booking the round, but I decided to let the course speak for itself and booked the round for $50; as I drove up and tried to enter the building, there was a sign at the front stating the doors remain locked and directed guests around the side to the golf shop; I was well received by the gentleman at the counter, paid, given a key to a cart, and directed to the first tee box; the practice putting green was in poor condition with lots of blank space without grass; I putted twice and drove toward the first tee box which was taken by a 2-some; after they teed off, I drive up and noticed the tee box was shaggy (unmowed) but figured the recent rainy weather was cause for the condition and teed off when appropriate; as I played, similar conditions existed across the tee boxes and greens, but the fairways were being mowed as I played; it was a quick round because there was only the 2-some in front of me throughout the round which was not very deterring, and as I made the turn on #10, I noticed a single behind me whom I never saw again.

Personally, I probably won’t ever play here again since I am visiting for the first (and possibly last) time, so recommending this course is something I would do with the caveat of waiting until better weather conditions become regular; I feel this course would be really fun with more pristine conditions after the winter season ends.

I have played two other Daytona Beach area golf courses while visiting which had similar green fees, and I would recommend both of them over Pelican Bay in its current condition, but the layout was quite fun.

Great winter round, but very slow

Lakeside GC is a challenging course that I enjoy playing, and having the opportunity for a winter round on January 2nd was excellent; the course, although fairly frozen (greens, tee boxes, fairways, rough), was in very good shape; the only drawback to the cold but sunny round was an extremely slow 4-some that our 3-some was unfortunately immediately behind; despite the slow play, it was a great round

Fantastic but slow round

Gladstan GC is a favorite that I was able to introduce my youngest son to its dynamic layout and challenges; Gladstan always provides a wonderful round of golf despite the slow play we experienced because of its particularly uniqueness and the great shape the course was in; the staff is always friendly and accommodating to our needs; a gem of a course that I wish I lived closer to!

Great fall round

Gladstan has always been a favorite course because of the course layout and strategic play required with pleasant, friendly staff; this round was no different, and my son who played the course for his first time was very pleased with the experience and looks forward to our next visit; the course was in very good condition and played well; there were a few tee boxes that were undulating and uneven which makes the hole more challenging, but otherwise the fairways and greens were in fantastic shape; another wonderful round which is expected and brings me back!

Slow, steady round

Lakeside GC is a popular course in a community of people who golf, so it is often very busy which affects the pace of play which isn’t too bad, though; otherwise, the layout, challenge, and staff make the experience quite enjoyable.

Typical Sun Hills experience

I play Sun Hills GC several times a year because it is a challenging course with great variety; it is a popular course and is quite busy regularly which includes a diverse experience level affecting the pace of play; the course was in overall fair shape with tee boxes and fairways a bit stressed, but the greens were in pretty good shape; despite these aspects, the round was very enjoyable for our group.

Return round

I was in Boise for a few days and played Eagle Hills GC late Monday morning and was fortunate enough to book a second round Tuesday early morning which was a pleasure; the experience was great, and I would recommend this course to friends and fellow golfers looking for a course that you will use most, if not all clubs in your bag; the staff members were very friendly and accommodating, and the course was in great shape; I got out behind ateo groups that I was able to get through on the 10th hole, and I was able to finish another round very quickly; I will definitely look to play Eagle Hills GC while in the Boise area in the future!

Fun round despite recent water issues

The Hideout GC is a course I can’t skip when traveling through the area, and despite the recent weather/water issues caused by a severe winter, I enjoyed my quick round; the course had some adverse affects caused by the long, hard winter and recent water (flooding/raging) situations, so the course was not in the excellent shape that is the standard; the staff has always been very friendly and accommodating which makes the experience even better; I look forward to returning again.

Rough winter affected course conditions

I have always enjoyed Stansbury Park GC, but this round was affected by the conditions brought on by the rough winter; tees, fairways, and greens were affected on many holes, including three holes with greens moved into the fairway; I still enjoyed my round having been allowed to play through seven groups which made the round play quickly; as course conditions improve, I expect it to return to bits normal quality and bring many players back; unfortunate weather that was unavoidable, so I wouldn’t recommend the course now and may take until late in the season before it is able to recover fully.

Another great round

Oquirrh Hills GC is a regular course I enjoy playing; it is always a fun pleasurable experience with one caveat, occasional slow play because it is very popular with the locals which is a positive aspect of the course; the staff is friendly, and the course was in very good condition with a late spring start.

Tough course for beginning season round

I was excited when I booked my first round at Coyote Springs GC, but I quickly learned this is not a course for beginner golfers or for early season rounds for mid handicappers; as my first round of the season, my skill level was not adequate to meet the challenging course layout and extremely difficult greens; for these reasons, my counter parts and I struggled throughout the round which was also affected by the wind (12-18 mph), but we also had to wait for two very slow groups of older players (4-somes) from hole #2 through #18 which resulted in a 5-hour, unnecessarily slow round, and there wasn’t a marshall to move play along; it took 2.5 hours to make the turn, and it got maintained thereafter; the clubhouse staff, cart/check-in staff, and starter were extremely friendly, and I think the course has a lot of fantastic qualities to make me want to play it again later in the season when I have refined my play, personally; the greens were so fast and not receptive, and the hole locations were not inviting or friendly; each of us in our 3-person group putted a short putt that ran off the green which is uncommon on most public golf courses; my expectations were not met from a course of this magnitude for my first round, but I will consider playing it again but later in the season.

I do not recommend this course to any beginners, high handicappers, or occasional golfers; the challenge will frustrate you and the groups behind you.

Great experience, fun round

I selected Eagle Hills GC based upon courses available while visiting Boise for a few days, and the esoteric was well worth the time and green fees; the Pro Shop staff member was very friendly and accommodating, and the course was was in great shape; the undulating fairways posed an interesting experience which I had to determine as I played individually; the fairways were tight and despite a few drives down the middle, my ball ended up in the rough due to the slopes fairways; the pace of play was slower than expected with a twosome in front of me, but that allowed me to consider my shots that resulted in a round under four hours anyhow; the fairways were tree lined and really added to the overall experience; I will definitely consider playing the course again on future visits to the area, but I will definitely play the blue tees hereafter because I hit my 3-wood, 5-wood, and even my 4-iron in several par 4 holes; I think this course would be great for all levels of golfers as long as they play the correct tees.

Great spring round

Oquirrh Hills GC is always a great play which is a very busy community course which slows play, but it was a great round with hesitant players but not too bad. The course was in great shape after the recent snowstorms, and we were pleased with the round. Definitely worth the drive from Salt Lake.

Father and son winter golf outing

The Oasis Canyons course is always fun and challenging and a great course to bring my son for a golf outing; I selected the Oasis Golf Club because I have always been treated very well and because it is available through the GolfNow app; check in was smooth and quick, but I think the cart attendants forgot to clean the cart we received because there was trash and two dirty towels on the cart; otherwise, we were the third group at check in, and we got out promptly for our 11:50 am tee time and finished well before sundown which was 4:24 pm; pace of play was excellent on the front nine, but it did slow down beginning on #10 which I believe is due to the back nine challenge; we waited on each hole on the back nine but only briefly so it wasn’t disturbing; the course was in pretty good shape with the fairways having some bare spots, but the round was very enjoyable for a winter golf trip.

Slow front 9, but good experience

Sun Hills GC is a fun, challenging course, and for the end of the season, the course was in good condition for a drought-stricken year; it is a busy course, but it seemed that there was a local group scramble tournament in front of us (I was outed with a 3-some) which delayed the front 9 extremely; the front 9 took nearly three (2:45) hours, but once I made the turn (my partners only played 9-holes), there wasn’t anyone in front of me and played the back 9 in under 50 minutes; I played #10 and caught a 2-some on #11 tee box who let me play through, and I had free sailing thereafter; otherwise the round was quite fun and the course played well which continues to bring me back!

Hot round of golf

The weather has been excessively hot recently, but our round of golf was quite pleasurable; the pace of play was okay on the front nine and sped up once we passed the twosome in front of us at the turn; there was nobody for a few holes in front of us, and the twosome was not affected with us in front; the course was in good shape overall, but the tee boxes need some attention; the greens were fantastic, and the fairways were very playable without issue.

Fun, friendly round

Sun Hills GC is a course I enjoy playing several times each year because of the various challenges that exist; this round was pleasant because the wind was manageable and didn’t affect shoots too badly, but quite often the wind can play havoc in your round; upon check-in, we were pleasantly directed to the first tee to start our round, and everything ran smoothly thereafter; the course was in overall good condition despite the drought that has affected the area.
