Could have been

Economy hurting us all, that including the golf course as well. I do like the layout of the course but not the over all conditions. The greens were bumpy, and the fairways were bare and weeds infested. They happened to be working on aeration of the tee boxes. Nothing here a little bit of money couldn’t fix.

Lost prestige

I’ve been to this course many times over the years. This time it really just completely lost it’s prestige of being a “resort” course. The course has not changed, the routings are the same, however; the greens are slow and rough and the fairways are not as lush as used to be. Bunkers are hard packed and not raked and smoothed out. The range is no longer provided with unlimited range ball. One would get a tiny bag of beat up range ball and that’s it.
Since I used TeeOff app and got a hot deal that saved me some money otherwise, it would be even more disappointing. The staffs are cordial but not very friendly nor helpful. The starter is more interested in chatting with friends than to inform players of their approaching tee time and get players in position to tee off.
Like I said, this place no longer has the prestige of being a “resort” course yet it continues to demand the resort course fees. This course is just a regular public course that over charges anymore.

Trouble with “map it” link in receipt

First problem : the map link in the receipt was completely wrong. I was lead to middle of nowhere near a water way. NOT very helpful “GOLFNOW”!!! It wasted hour and half of my time.
The course was busy. Pace was slow. Some tee box areas are grass-less. Much of the fairway edges are bare and rough. Greens are fair overall and some of them are slow. The course had seen better days.

Good as always

Besides the little incident with the fine print policy in my previous posting the course is still my favorite course in the area. The greens run true (if you can read the line) and the fairway is free of debris. The bunkers are looking great. Love the sand texture, easy to play out of.

Read The Fine Print

I've played this course many times through the years and never had I noticed the fine print on GolfNow website for this particular course. I went to the course about two hours before my tee time and was told that I can not check in till an hour before my tee time. Also, I can not hit the range balls till that time but I may chip and putt while I wait. For some one who spent thousands dollars to come to the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch Resort over the years and had payed various prices for the golf at this course THIS IS DEMORALIZING. However, it is in the FINE PRINT. So, the man had done nothing wrong. It just hard for a sixty years old man to walk a couple of hundred yards between chipping green and clubhouse just to check in. (So I won't hit their precious RANGE BALLS before too soon). Folks read the fine print, don't come too early, you may be disappointed. Other than that THIS IS A GREAT COURSE.

Thank you for the review. We include rang balls in all of our tee times, therefore we have notes in the online tee times stating the practice areas are available one hour before tee off. We do not offer unlimited range balls before your tee time. We also have notes so that tee times are are on-time, and avoided groups teeing off earlier than scheduled. Thank you for coming out and we hope to see you again in the near future.

Beautiful course as always, great layout(even though the front and back nines were flipped from what I remembered), beautiful sceneries and friendly staffs. However, the greens gave me so much problem to read. It took me sixteen holes to get some sense of speed. Love it!!

Hi Kevin9580406, Thank you for taking time to provide feedback on your round. We've enjoyed the beautiful sceneries on the course lately. Good to hear our staff added to a positive experience. The greens can be tough to read, but it sounds like you were up for the challenge! Best, La Cantera Management

Cute course layout, but really disappointed the greens were in terrible shape. Fairways have many dry out dirt spots. Good place for practice certain aspect of the game but not putting. Staffs are friendly though.

Enjoyed the course very much. Did not have a chance to warm up because I did not know that there was a short game area until I was done. VERY FRIENDLY staffs and folks. Great place to fine tune ones iron game.

Not feeling "welcomed" or "helped" from staffs. Greens uses completely different grass than practice green. Fairway feels like a well used soccer field. A different experience than what I remembered from before.

A gem in the valley

A very nice layout. Tee boxes, fairways and some greens could use some help. People are nice, but artificial mats are not the way to go on range.

Great course to sharpen skills

Top rated greens and very nice fairways. Needs precise shots to have a good round. For those who are not so accurate better to have some recovering short game skills. I can see how phill is so good at the short game.

Stolen round

We went to this course on a "hot" deal. Hot deal it was. We were allowed to tee off early because few people were there. Course routing was a little confusing but there were signs to show the way. For first timers the GPS is a must read info source to keep you from losing balls. Large greens, generous fairways though doesn't seem so from tee boxes. Although buildings are all around they don't come in play. There are many holes requires thinking for a low score, otherwise large number scores be readily available to you. For the price I paid, it was a steal.

Missing Info

Highly anticipated to play this course. Disappointed that closing of driving range was not announced during the booking process. Staff snobishly denied allowerence of golf cart to parking lot citing "potential accident". Overall, staffs are cold to patrons. Nice course design, good fairways, poor green condition.

Rude proshop staff

Bought the round through golfnow. When ask about the warm up range ball the staff states " you getting free golf so you don't get range ball". I let him know the price it cost me and it isn't free. The staff Bobby still insists that I did not pay the golf club directly therefore the round is free as far as he is concern thus there is no range balls. I'm not sure what part of near $50 per person per round for three that he did not understand? IT IS NOT FREE ! I had to walk out the pro shop to end the argument. I'm not rich by any stretch of imagination but I had paid upwards to $250 and as little as $10 per round yet, never had I been treated so rudely. Note to BlackHorse boss: get rid off Bobby, at least have some customer service training done please!

It might be helpful for Kevin to read the receipt slip provided by Golf Now which states there are no free range balls. Don't get mad at the help for doing there job. I have found them to be courteous and accommodating , especially when my tee time was lost and they found a spot for me on a very busy day. By the way, the person who did this was Bobby.

Fun course!

Played this course a few times. Staffs are always friendly and course is in good shape. However, I'm disappointed the green side bunkers condition. They are mostly hard packed dirt and very little "sand". Bunkers need some TLC.
I love the course layout. There are holes requires very precise shots to have a good score. Greens are well kept and rolls true. Will be back for more.

Very friendly staffs. Good course condition.

When arrived, the first thing one would noticed is the friendly atmosphere. We went on a day a tournament is ongoing before my tee time. The proshop staff let me know immediately upon arrival. We were able to tee off few minutes early and never met any stoppage. Course is well kept and the layout is fairly easy and fun to play.

Post-aerating round. Not much to say about the green. Geat track overall.

Seeing this course the second time but the first time seeing the whole course. Love it. Wish the greens were in their normal shape, nonetheless, enjoy the track.
