Another wonderful round

Gladstan GC is always a great experience even when it is busy; the layout alone brings challenges that bring you back, but the variety in holes with risk-reward make it worth the trip; as always, the staff was friendly and welcoming and let us out early; i enjoy every trip to the course.

Another exceptional round

Gladstan GC has become a favorite of mine despite the fact that there are several holes that I cannot seem to defeat; the layout is awesome and provides challenges in a risk-reward outcome; obviously the fall weather affected the attendance which is normally quite high, but unfortunately we were able to get held up from hole #8 through #18; that wasn’t a big issue because I was playing with a friend whom I was introducing him to the course for the first time, so we were content with the slow play, but it did catch up to us on the back nine when we dropped back into the cool shadows on #16 through #18 which brought colder temperatures that affected not only our comfort but also the flight of the ball; however, the round was still quite enjoyable with fantastic greens and fairways and a friendly welcome in the clubhouse; I hope to get out at least one more time before winter at Gladstan because I hope to conquer a few of those that challenge my game.

Great fall round

River Oaks GC is a challenging course despite its seemingly short length which is due to narrow fairways, trees, and lots of water hazards; the layout makes you think on every hole and strategically consider your line and locations on many shots; the pace of play was fantastic because of the fall weather which was cooler than normal and threatened of rain which never transpired; the staff has been exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and the course was in excellent condition; I look forward to another round, hopefully, before the season ends.

Busy, slow but enjoyable round

I play Lakeside GC often since it is one of few courses available on the GolfNow app, but I really enjoy the course; the layout provides ample risk-reward opportunities, and the staff has become more ch more friendly and accommodating; the course is in great condition after the heavy rainfall we have had recently, and it is a wonderful experience every time; this course is a very popular course for the locals which often leads to slower rounds; our front nine was rather slow with three groups in every hole on the front nine, but the back nine seemed to open up as many of the lead groups apparently only played nine holes, until we got to hole #15 when we caught up to another two groups; we finished the round with four groups four groups on #18 which almost included a fifth group; that wasn’t a huge issue because the weather was fantastic and the course was in great shape, so our group (2-some & 2 singles) was not affected until the 18th.

Extremely slow autumn round

After the recent weather in the area, it was logical that Lakeside GC would be busy with a moderately cool, sunny day, but it resulted in the slowest round of golf I have played this season; there were at least two 4-somes in front of our 3-some group which regularly included all three groups on the same hole throughout the front nine; once in the tenth tee box, it seemed the back nine would open up, but that thought was quickly dispelled; the staff were very friendly, and the course was in very good shape — the recent weather (rain/snow) seemed to have helped the courses in the area; despite the slow play, it was a typically enjoyable round of golf at Lakeside GC.

Another challenging, fun round

Lakeside GC was its typical challenging course with greens that were a bit faster than normal; the course was in very good condition with rough that was thick enough that two of our group lost a golf ball off the fairway in the rough; however the fairways and greens were in good condition.

Rainy, wet round but great experience

This round at Sun Hills GC was my third round at this course in eight days, and today was just as fun and enjoyable as the first two were; the only difference today was there was a bit of rain early which kept the typical player load down, but the rain didn’t affect our play during the round; we did catch up to two different groups that were slow and had a slow play process which affected the pace of play, but none the less, it was another great round; the course was in good shape and played well.

Another fun round

River Oaks GC is a course that poses unique challenges with plenty of risk and reward; the course overall was in very good condition with only a few fairway spots that were played with a bump rule, but not many; the pace of play was fantastic despite our slow group, but we were not hindered nor did we hinder any other groups; it was very enjoyable and pleasant which makes it a great course that I enjoy playing.

Great round, but…

Sun Hills GC is a favorite course for me, and now my son and his good friend are also fans; the course was in very good condition with a little drought damage still present on greens and fairways, but overall the course was still in very good shape; the pace of play was typical for a busy round; we had a 3-some in front of us on the front 9 who were not experienced golfers which slowed play, but they were behind another slow group according to the Marshall with whom we talked on #6 tee box; however, the one negative of this round was that as we made the turn the clubhouse had sent a 4-some out in front of us on #10, and we learned from the Marshall after we finished #10 that the group in front of us was a group of gentlemen who were learning to play golf; he did say they were notified to let faster players through which eventually did occur on #13; however, sending new players out in front of groups making the turn isn’t really a good practice; anyway, the round was very enjoyable and will not deter me from returning because Sun Hills GC offers a great golf experience.

Another great round at Lakeside GC

I have played at Lakeside GC numerous rounds NDA each year for several years, and today’s round was no different; it is a popular course with a great variety of of hole layouts and technicality needed; the front nine did have some slow play, and after we started the back nine and encountered their youth golf program but only for one hole which was pleasant; it was a fine round and will encourage us to return again.

Fun as always

The Hideout GC is a favorite that I only play occasionally because of the distance from Salt Lake City; the course has experienced some drought effect, but overall the course was in adequate playing shape; the staff was very friendly and helpful, and I was allowed to start on the back nine because the course was busy which was great until I rounded for the back (front) nine which was slow; however, since I played the first nine quickly, the entire round only took just over four hours; I am hopeful to get back and play the course again

Dry greens, tough putting, good round

Logan River GC is a favorite of our group, and it wasn’t surprising that Father’s Day was quite busy and therefore had a slow pace of play for the front nine; the good news is that many groups in front of us only played nine holes, and we were able to play through a group in #10 that then allowed us to play through another group in #11; thereafter, we caught up to a group in #15 that was playing a 2-person scramble that held us up briefly until they realized there was finally a group behind them.

The course was in good condition, but the drought and hot weather have affected the overall course some; the fairways were pretty good, but the greens were pretty dry and unreceptive; the staff was friendly, and we will return to play here again.

Sun Hills GC has become a regular stop each summer for a few rounds because of its layout and diversity in holes; it provides challenges with opportunities to win or lose; this course will definitely remain in our schedule each year.

Enjoyable spring round

Logan River GC was in very good shape for a spring round; the pace of play was the only thing I could say could have been better, but that was really not bad; the greens were firm but not as quick as I have played at other courses this spring; I enjoyed the course and our group (two 2-somes) had a fun round.

Great round with four singletons

I reserved my tee time, one of four slots, because I have enjoyed this course in the past; when I arrived and checked in, they indicated they would call us out and that I was playing with three other singletons; it was a great round; my partners were friendly and our skill levels were very similar; the course valet and starter were both very friendly and accommodating; the course was in very good shape which made the round very enjoyable; I will return to the Oasis Golf Club in the future.

Quiet, patient round

My round at Schneiter’s Riverside GC was quite enjoyable and pleasant despite the pace of play; in the front nine, there were three 5-some groups of older gentlemen which allowed me to be patient and not rush which was different for me; the back nine had what appeared to be a few groups of high school girls who were all walking by kept me focused on patience and relaxed; the course was in very good shape; the greens were very quick and the fairways were quite good for early season; the staff was friendly and helpful; the only real negative point was the golf cart (#46) which did not move very quick at any point; I think the speed was that of a walking golfer, but it added to my patience for the round.

Another good round

Lakeside GC always provides a friendly, fun, enjoyable round of golf because the course is always in very good shape and the staff is always friendly; the only part of playing Lakeside is it is a very popular course which has a tendency to have a slower pace of play; we were playing behind a high school tournament which had numerous parents following their players but didn’t affect our round; I look forward to future rounds at Lakeside.

Another great round

Gladstan GC is a favorite course for our golf group that we would definitely play more often if it were closer to SLC; the clubhouse staff is always welcoming to us as GolfPass/GolfNow members which isn’t always the case at a few courses; the courses was in good condition considering the drought that we experienced, and there were a few areas that were affected but still playable, including the greens; the only real issue was pace of play which resulted in a very slow round with five groups congregating on home #4 and waiting often on the tee boxes and fairways on both the front and the back nines; however, we enjoyed the round and really enjoy the layout and challenges; we will return!

Another challenging, enjoyable round

River Oaks GC is a challenging course for me, but one I enjoy playing because it requires strategic and thoughtful decisions in many holes; it isn’t a course that I hit driver off every par 4 and par 5 which is fun and challenging; knowing your club distances and playing clubs consistently come into play each time I undertake a round which is what brings me back; I have not mastered any of the holes, but I have played just about each hole as well as I could, but not every outing which is frustrating at times but what brings me back; the staff was very friendly, and the course was in good shape; there were a few drought affected spots on the holes, but they didn’t affect play much; I wouldn’t encourage beginners to play this course because there are many trees and lots of water hazards, but it is a course that will challenge every player.

Another great round at Sun Hills GC

Sun Hills GC is a favorite of our golf group, so getting this tee time was a pleasant reward to return; as has been typical, I was greeted pleasantly and courteously upon my check-in, and the course was in very good condition; there were a few greens that had some damage, but that didn’t affect our round very much; otherwise the course was in very good condition; it is a popular course and was quite busy which did delay the pace of play, but it was a good round that will help us return again.
