Worst Track Ever

We've stayed in this community the past few years because we have friends who live here. I played this course two years ago because it's convenient, and I thought "what a terrible shame this course is so poorly maintained (it's basically a series of 18 pastures with bad greens at the end of each one). So, I gave it another chance, thinking that it can't be worse that the first time. I was wrong...very wrong. They should be embarrassed to call this a golf course. The fairways are browned out weed patches, accentuated by gopher holes, and lined with trashy waste areas and construction debris. The bunkers are mostly washed out, the water features look like scum ponds, and the greens almost all have dead patches and/or are pock marked with poor aeration scars. When we got our cart, the starter told us "It may run out of juice after 12 holes so, just call us and we'll bring you another one. This pic is from their cart barn, and the condition of this cart fits the course perfectly. Come on Man!!!

Whoever owns this dog patch (insult to dogs) need to sell it to someone who can fix and manage it properly.

Nice Course & Good Price

This is a well maintained course & a decent layout with super friendly staff. It’s one of the better deals in the area. Pay close attention on the unusual #18; don’t lay up too much and leave yourself a too long approach shot.

Muni Needing TLC

It’s a mediocre muni squeezed into a subdivision and undesirable track of land, made obvious on the first tee as you hit over a storm flood levy. Staff is super friendly and very accommodating. We got a great GolfNow deal but, I wouldn’t return; too many good tracks elsewhere.

Great Old School Course; needs a bit of Marshaling

Like this course, especially with a Golf Now deal. My wife is just learning and it’s open & forgiving enough for her while being challenging enough for me. Course was in excellent condition.

A rude twosome jumped in front of us without asking even though we were playing at a Sub-4hr pace. Marshaling would fix this. Also, the carts, while very nice, are janky. They’re geofenced to keep them away from greens and other prohibited areas but, they were shutting down/beeping even on some of the cart paths. Additionally, even though we finished 17 minutes ahead of pace, the cart told us we were 30 mins behind for most of the back nine. This needs fixed.

My Go To Course

I play weekly here, sometimes more, with a men’s golf group. The course conditions are excellent, and have improved significantly over the past couple of years (new bunkers, tree trimming, etc). It’s a mostly forgiving course that will bite you if you don’t pay attention. The staff is top notch ! Friendly and professional all the time. The restaurant is very good for quick food at the turn but, also for a light meal annd drinks after a round. The all grass practice facility makes this course unique; love it! My only complaint is that I don’t live closer to the course. Give it a try!

Your Game Needs Some Work

I’ve played this course twice. First, let me say the course layout & condition is great. However, This second times was not a great experience due to poor staff. The starter was top notch, as was all the “pre-play” staff. But, once on the course, we waited on the group in front of us almost the whole round. I spoke to the Marshall, who did nothing because they were “locals.” Then the same Marshall barely even responded when we asked about water on the course. When it’s 95+ degrees and we’re paying $300/round, this is unacceptable!

If you want to be a destination resort course then act like one.

Beautiful course in need of a little TLC

Visually appealing with some absolutely beautiful holes. Lots of elevation change & long distances btwn some holes. Definitely not a walkers course. Slopes are reflective of difficulty; lots of target golf required.

We played ~10 days after green aeration & they were in great shape; rolled true but slow. Kudos to the Supt. On the greens. Course does have a few rough edges; muddy bunkers & some scraggly tee boxes but nothing terrible.

Pro shop & other staff very friendly.

Played with Moose Golf coupon so great price but, course also has a great frequent player program which averages ~$40/round with cart if you play just 12 rounds/yr.

I will definitely play again.

Great Course in Need of Infrastructure Work

Top notch resort course. Excellent views & in great condition tee to green. Very Friendly staff...especially Gene!

But, the cart path & other infrastructure really needs some work; felt like driving through a construction site on many holes.

I gave it 4-stars because I'm hopeful they will invest in the necessary upgrades.

6 Hours of Unnecessary Misery!

Three golf buddies & I took a 5 day trip to St. George, Utah to play the Red Rocks Golf Trail. Included in that trip was Sand Hollow, which we expected to be a memorable experience based on what we'd heard and read about the course.

Well, it was a memorable experience...but, not in a good way. As indicated by the title, it was 6 hrs of unnecessary misery. It's such a shame that course management was so poor that it ruined a great experience for us; and many others I'm sure.

First, I have to say that the course is visually stunning (bring your camera) and was in excellent condition the day we played; kudos to the course superintendent. All the rest is down hill.

Our tee time was delayed by 15 mins because they were backed up a bit; no worries, this happens at lots of places & is not a big deal. Unfortunately, it got much worse from there. By the time we got to 8, we were approaching 2.5+hrs and finally saw a marshall. His assurances that it would speed up on the back 9 were "hollow" (pun intended); it only continued to get worse. And, that's the last time we saw him, or another marshal or course employee for that matter; course management was nowhere to be seen.

What we did see though was 8 people on the same green in front of us, golfers switching 4-somes & carts as we waited on them, and lots of juvenile behavior. Even after multiple calls to the pro shop, nothing was ever done to improve the pace of play---for the next 3+hrs. So, despite having a 130pm tee time, we didn't finish before dark. Neither did the 2-3 foursomes behind us who just gave up and drove in around 15.

After the round, I went to the pro shop, and management was still nowhere to be seen even though I'd called them from the course. They chose to let the poor young man (Brian) at the cash register handle the complaint. Brian was very professional, which is more than I can say for his management.

I seriously doubt this is the level of service that Vanguard Golf Management Group expects and, it is my sincere hope they read this review and do something to prevent this from happening to other golfers in the future.

UPDATE: I’ve played Sand Hollow three times since my 2015 review and would rate it 4.5 stars. The course is still visually stunning and is well kept. The management is on top of things and responsive. I now view my terrible 2015 experience as an anomaly. Good on ya Sand Hollow!

Champagne on Beer Budget DOES Exist!

This might be the best golf value I've ever experienced. Well kept course in great condition with stunning views of canyons, mountains & rock formations. Our 4-some paid less than a single would @ Kiawah, Bandon or other high end resort courses, and this course, with its scenery, is in that class.

Superbly friendly staff.

If you visit St. George, you must not miss this course. In fact, play it more than once. You won't be disappointed.

Top Quality Resort Course

An excellent course; in great shape tee to green. Played as part of a buddies golf trip to St. George & would definitely play again & recommend to others. Worth including in your package if you come to St. George.

Back more scenic than front. Lush fairways & greens. Excellent practice area. Very good pace of play. Very good value. Be sure to stay for lunch/drinks/dinner; it's excellent with a pleasant outdoor space.

A Dangerous Beauty!

Stopped here with 3 buddies on our way from LV to St. George for a 4-day golf trip. So glad we did! This was the most scenic of the 7 courses we played in 5 days.

Definitely recommend a stop & play if you're on your way through or, a drive from LV to play. It's one of the most memorable courses I've ever played, including 100+ rounds in Hawaii, Kiawah, & Bandon Dunes. Although different, it ranks with them.

Concur with all the comments about the beauty; bring your camera. Also bring dramamine if you get sea sick; the vertical change and winding, switchback cart path will tickle your tummy.

Course was in excellent condition. Moderately fast greens the day we played but, clearly can be made faster. Requires lots of target shots, most with elevation changes (up & down); this is what makes the course challenging. Miss your target & you're in the desert or worse.

Staff was super. They knew we were chasing the sunset with a 2pm tee time & helped us get in all 18 in <4hrs before dark. I will definitely play here again if I'm in the area.

Resort Conditions at a Muni Price

Played here for the first time with my Wednesday golf group. Wonderful course! It's well worth the hour drive & will definitely return.

Lush fairways & greens the day I played. Rough is pretty thick. Lots of elevation change & several pretty holes. Very friendly staff and, at $32 to walk, this is a steal.

The course's main defense if very large and multi-tiered, undulating greens. Do your best to put the ball in the right place because being on the wrong tier is death. 4.5 Stars.

Great Value for Marin

This is a great public course.

It's a 30 min drive for me so, I've played here several times this summer/fall. The course is always in good condition (a few rough spots but nothing big), especially considering the drought. You have to think your way around a bit due to elevation changes, fairway slopes, and hazards that are reachable from the tee. It's a very scenic course, and the staff is very friendly. For ~$35/round during the week, I consider Indian Valley a good deal for this area.

An excellent course, and a real bargain on Golf Now. Very friendly staff, course in great shape, and not at all crowded. All in all, a wonderful afternoon. Traveled with two buddies an hour to play it and would make the trip again.
